Recently, my dear friends Paul Milaire and Roderick Fung kindly agreed to take some photos of me and my girlfriends. So, adorned in black & white with gold accents (can you guess whose idea that was?) and balloons in our favourite colours, we set out for an afternoon of casual and fun shooting. We couldn't be happier with the results and feel so blessed that years down the road we'll be able to happily look back at these shots and remember how young we looked back then!
{If you're in the Lower Mainland, I highly recommend getting these guys to shoot you with your significant other, friends or family (email me for details)! They're so much fun to be around, reasonably priced and these photos are clear evidence of their talent!}
To see more photos, hop on over to the "Extra Snaps" section on my Facebook page!

AHHHH YOU ARE SO CUTE! I definitely will email you for details, haha :) also, the idea for colour pairing? Genius!
by Jess ♡ on July 18, 2011 at 8:01 AM. #
What a playful photospread for a great feature! The color is a nice juxtaposition against the clean palette of your clothing!
You girls all look super adorable, and I think it's great you can do something so fun.
My girlfriends and I (also 4 of us) did something similar when we were 22/23, but we were club kids so our friendship photo shoot turned out to be something we all now totally cringe at and wouldn't dare show anyone! LOL.

This is SUCH an amazing idea Jen! It's never occurred to me to get someone to take some shots of my friends and I other than a "going out on the town" kind of way...I may have to steal this idea from you if you're okay with it! Not even for the blog, but just so I can finally get some shots of my girlfriends that are not blurry or in a nightclub!
You all look absolutely STUNNING. And who could possibly have come up with the theme for the outfits? Graphic, touches of gold...that's not you at all :).
Glad you're doing so well love! Sorry if I'm commenting somewhat inconsistently...I'm drowning in school a bit and haven't really been on my computer. Know that I'm still reading and loving everything though!

These photos are adorable! They'll be so much fun to look back on when you're older- maybe you'll even feel inspired to see if you can still fit into the dress you were wearing in them ;)
xox,

These photos are so cute! You girls are all so gorgeous and well coordinated! Love your decision on going with the black and gold ensembles with the gold accents :P
Such a coincidence that we both posted pictures with the girls (and it so happens to be four of them too haha)
by Aney on July 18, 2011 at 7:07 PM. #
You ladies look so chic! Very fun idea for a photo shoot. I love how you worked within a similar theme (balloons, black and white outfits, gold accents) but came up with looks that conveyed your distinctive personalities.
by lisa on July 18, 2011 at 8:24 PM. #
This looks like so much fun! They turned out adorable and you all look so lovely! xx
