SHE BELONGS IN A FASHION MAGAZINE

Still beaming from this fun downtown Benicia fashion lifestyle shoot. Chantal is my little sister, but she's so much more than that. She's incredibly fashionable, a total trendsetter, and a wiz behind a sewing machine.

Can you believe she MADE all of her outfits pictured here?!? I'm still in shock! Her passion lies in the hunt of thrifting, seeing what some may think is trash and transforming it into something beautiful. She breathes life into old knick knacks, unique fabrics, and prints. I can't wait for her to start her YouTube channel showing how she does from thrift to stitch to finding the perfect home for her creation.

So the other day we ventured out to our hometown streets in search of some unique backdrops. We visited Farm + Flour and utilized their white wall, then saw a creamy colored concrete wall across the street in an alleyway and posed in front of that. After we drove around for a bit till we found a beautiful ivy wall, which was my favorite look (see below). Last we found a church with some succulents and another creamy colored backdrop.

I am so beyond stoked Chantal finally let me capture her beauty and some of the stellar outfits she created!
