Higher Vibes

“May your vibes shift the whole damn frequency of the room when you walk in.”
~Unknown


Greetings Readers!

Before I sat down to pen this post, I knew I first had to prepare my mind and soul and set some necessary intentions. When I do this with consistency, I am always assured that my efforts are not in vain and that our work will be relevant and will reach the intended audience. So I carved out some time on a Sunday afternoon for some “ME” time. I needed an opportunity to relax and connect. So I ran a hot bubble bath with some salts and essential oils. I lit a blue candle that smelled amazing to help me create a relaxed, calm and peaceful atmosphere. I made myself a cup of hot green tea with a little cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and honey. I turned off the lights and turned on some sounds of nature... the sound of a stream rushing over rocks, the sound of the ocean as it caresses the shore and the sound of a steady rain falling to the earth. It was a cleansing for my soul. I sipped my tea as I drank from the cup of peace that had filled my sanctuary. I honor my bath time ritual, because it gives me what I need to recharge my spirit. When I emerged an hour later, I felt almost weightless and I knew that I was ready to write. 

A few years ago, I officially crowned myself the “Selfie Queen” (wink). The count of selfies I have in my arsenal are nothing short of excessive. I take them often even if I am just storing them away for later use. Best believe I am always locked and loaded! Anyhow, I get amused when I see people on social media become irritated about selfies and complain and spew negativity at people who post them. I usually sense there is a lot in play behind their comments, so if you love to take selfies and this is also your experience, here are a couple of things I want you to keep in mind:

         1. If they were truly happy with who they are they wouldn’t harbor those types of emotions about YOU. 
         2. Never allow a low vibrational character to influence how or when you indulge in self-love. 

When you are experiencing harmonious alignment and you move about life with powerful energetic flow and positivity, you activate your aura and it is so illuminated that you instinctively draw others to you... the sweet and the not so sweet. Although the negative attention and energy can be draining, you have to vibrate higher, because they have a purpose in your growth as well. You are changing and transitioning to a place of focus and awareness of your own unique individuality and ability to think and decide. You are now beautifully and effortlessly you and your transformation is evident. Others won’t be able to detect exactly what is different about you, but your confidence, your creativity, your compassion, your contentment, your overall evolution will be undeniable. You will forgive like it is restoration for your soul. Your authenticity will cause your skin to glow. You will drip radiance, beauty and inner-strength like honey from a hive, and with the powerful energy of the universe you will thrive. You will begin to vibrate at higher levels of gratitude, you will appreciate your solitude, you will master your thoughts and emotions, and you will embrace everything that makes you feel magical. You will love on yourself without apology and you will adore all of those moments that make you smile. 

Now joining us as the muse for this concept we called “Higher Vibes” is none other than Brandi. Brandi is a whole entire mood and she definitely served us good vibes with her work on this project. We are super pleased to present “Higher Vibes” the concept to all of you. Enjoy!

Boudoir 101... Classy, Elegant & Tastefully Sexy!

Greetings Readers!

First, we would like to thank each and every one of you for helping us to surpass the 15,000 viewership mark! We are so excited to share our work on a global scale and are even more excited for what is to come in this New Year. One thing is for certain, we will continue to bring you more great stories and more beautiful images!

The TEAM returns with a session that COMPLETELY pushed us outside of the box. We have been asked about Boudoir Photography many times in the past, but it was a topic we were previously not even considering as part of our brand. Well, I guess you can say we were asked enough times, that we finally decided to expand and give it a try. I reached out to model, Asia to see if she wanted to step outside of the box with us and she was ALL IN. The planning for our very first Boudoir shoot was underway!

As with all of our other concept shoots, and probably even more so with this one, we were very strategic in planning for how we wanted to present it. Ultimately, we wanted it to be classy, sophisticated and tasteful, treading the line, but never crossing it. Of course, we had to call on our favorite Nashville make-up artist, Tynita Lee, to come and provide a transformative experience for Asia. In addition, I made my debut as not just a style consultant, but as the OFFICIAL stylist for the entire shoot. Pulling together pieces to match the mood of each pose change during the session (special shout to Tena Bingham for her wardrobe assistance!) Check out a sneak peek from our shoot below!














We truly love what we do and it is SO MUCH FUN to see our creative ideas come to life! Stay tuned... the TEAM is just getting started for 2018! For more information on our make-up artist, we have provided her links below.

The Little Black Dress... Essential Elegance

Tis the Season!

The holidays are finally here! This is the most exciting time of the year, when there is plenty of Christmas cheer and holiday parties galore! So what better time than now to start getting our wardrobes ready for all of the celebrations? Well, here are some tips to help get you ready to step out in style this season.

As women, the single most important essential in our holiday arsenal is the Little Black Dress! The little black dress is a must-have fashion staple for any woman who likes to get dressed and go out on the town. It is a timeless look that is versatile and practical all at the same time. It's the ideal go to option when you have a special event to attend and you have no idea what to wear. Whether the event calls for an after-five look or something simple and informal, this one item in your closet can be easily transformed into something amazing with just the right accessories. The little black dress communicates style, class and sex appeal in a very subtle way, and it is easy to wear for just about any occasion!  





Now accessories are going to play an important role in how you present your overall look. From dainty earrings to choker necklaces and even layered pieces, you can decide just how fancy or conservative you want to be. You can choose from high heels to low heels or whatever suits you (psst... the higher, the better. Trust me.) However you choose to accessorize, if you cater to your own unique personal style, you can never go wrong. Remember though, that the whole purpose behind wearing a little black dress is to be sexy (oh and flirty), so don't be afraid to be adventurous with your accessorizing. It's your night, so feel good and have fun!
