About two months ago I was introduced on instagram to Meghan Mehan (thank you to our mutual friend, Meg). She was looking for a couple to shoot in the Bay Area and after one look at her insanely beautiful film photography, I was sold. I thought, “I’ll send her a message and see” and sent her a little snippet about Kevin and I.
It’s been over a week now since we had our girls’ (#BFFWeekend) in Los Angeles and I am still reminiscing about how much fun we had. Truth be told, I have not spent much time in LA until this year and have really been enjoying my time there. A good girlfriend of mine from college just moved there from NYC so I have been overdosing this summer on LA girl time and have come to the conclusion that it’s an amazing city to host a weekend with friends. Good food, sunshine, and the possibility of a Ryan Gosling sighting- it’s perfect.
A little over a month or so ago one of my favorite bloggers, Chriselle Lim (the beauty behind The Chriselle Factor) held a contest for two friends to come and spend a day with her and her team at their Los Angeles studio. I immediately thought of one of my best friends from college, Julie, who lives on the opposite coast and I haven't gotten to spend time with since our wedding. I figured 'what do we have to lose' and told her about the contest and that we should enter. Julie (who is a teacher and has such a way with words) submitted an entry and about a week later to our complete shock- we won! We were beside ourselves at not only the thought of spending the day with Chriselle but getting to spend a girls weekend together in LA.
