more about kelly-”Born into a family of musicians, artists, soap-makers and sheep-farmers, it was only natural for Kelly to pick up on her own creative skill at a young age. At 15 she got her first camera and fell in love with photographing people and things around her, but after a while that wasn’t enough. After receiving a 35mm Canon film camera as a gift she began experimenting with all different kinds of photography; lomography, polaroids, etc. This eventually led to her collecting vintage cameras. She shot her first wedding for a friend at age 17 and was hooked from there. Nowadays Kelly travels back and forth between her East Texas hometown and her new home, Dallas for shoots ranging from family portraits, kids, maternity, fashion, parties, weddings, films & more. She loves to get creative so if you’ve got an idea or have some questions for her you can send an e-mail to [email protected]!“

strung up

March 26th, 2012 | Posted by Hello Love in Style - (Comments Off)

I’m a little bit obsessed with string art. It’s everywhere from Anthropologie to our newest Dallas icon the Calatrava bridge. AND it’s an easy thing to do for your event whether making signage or just a beautiful installation. I have to say I favor the really huge installations – they are inexpensive and just amazing in scale. I’m talking a whole wall people.

Just a leisurely Sunday afternoon brunch shower celebrating the upcoming wedding of two wonderful people, Kevin and Berry, in the urban garden of Mr. Tom Spicer at one sweet long table filled with friends. We had a bloody mary for the mens (and ladies had a few too of course), a lovely little champagne bar for the gals and flowers by Bows and Arrows. It was perfect. See below for more details – it was too good not to share!
