About angelswanson

A few weeks ago, Erik and I were photographed by the fabbbulous amelia lyon & her too-much-fun hub, Justin. We wanted to get a unique pic for our annual Christmas card and came away with these stunnnnning images. Amelia is an immensely talented photographer who always produces the most lovely, modern-yet-vintage-feeling photos. She also has a fresh, innate sense of style that comes through in all of her images. I LOVE her work for weddings and portraits! Hip, stylish and full of emotion. Make sure to check her out!

After our shoot, we went for a delightful double-date at the scrumptious Thai eatery, Daisy Mint. Good times + good food! Looking forward to doing it again soon! amelia — thank you for sharing your incredible gift with us!

Here's a peek at a few pics from the shoot!


false lashes are my faaaavorite!

I left out a few favorites so you can check them out on amelia's blog. ;-) Make sure to leave her some love for making us look so good!

Pssst… check out my website for some fun updates! I went from 5 galleries to 13 (whee!) and added new testimonials + fab friends. If you're an avid blog stalker (I love you for it!), you will have seen most of the new pictures already. But, I'm excited that my site has a fresh face lift after nearly 3 years! Many, many kudos to my darling client-turned-friend Stacie of Leftwave Designs for all her help with the updates! If you are looking for a rad, stylish, creative web designer, give Stacie a ring!! {keep an eye out for my post on Stacie's uber-fab wedding later this week…}

Summarized details on the shoot:

  • fabulous photos by Amelia Lyon
  • hair and makeup by the sweet + insanely talented Joyce Luck
  • Marc by Marc Jacobs eyelet dress (purchased from Gilt! let me know if you need an invite for this rad shopping site..)
  • Twigs & hHney headband. (it is an extra-special headband that will be in a mag in a few months… I'll let you know when!) 1000 thanks to the beautiful myra… I adore my little piece of art!
  • Cynthia Rowley belt
  • Forever 21 leggings (dark gray)
  • Steve by Steve Madden leather boots in cognac (”intyce” style purchased from Nordstrom on sale. I can't stop wearing them!!!)

Stay warm this week! xoxo, angel

I love Amelia’s work.

I love those boots mostly ’cause I own them too.

I would ask for an invite to Gilt but the name says it all.
