Summer Favorites 2020

My favourite season is here and it’s HOT!

Our studio is open again and we’re slowly getting back into our groove. It’s a challenging time for everyone so I’m grateful my favourite season is here. I always feel super creative in summer!

1. Outdoor Studio

Several weeks ago I fell in love with the idea of an outdoor studio. It looks so breezy and unique, it also has a bit of that ‘behind the scenes’ look. I’m beyond excited to start shooting here and will share outdoor studio photos with you soon.

2. “Normal People” by Sally Rooney

It’s been my first book by Sally Rooney and I can’t wait for more. She has an incredible way of writing about everyday events. I think Maureen Corrigan has said it best: “Sally Rooney could write a novel about bath mats and I’d still read it. She’s that good and that singular a writer”

3. Art of Marina accessories

Marina is a watercolor artist and her accessories are DIVINE for summer! This soft palm pattern is my absolute favourite, so I got a kimono, a phone case and a pillow too.

4. Summer Outfits

My favourite outfits this summer include a white dress and a unique shirt. My wardrobe is very classic but I always look for little details that make the clothes special. The shirt I found is obviously very different and I love it! The white lace dress is perfect for HOT summer days and very comfortable.

5. Keto Creamer

My diet is usually a low carb/keto hybrid however I’ve been giving to unhealthy cravings way too much recently. I’m glad the weather is hot now and I don’t feel the need to eat unhealthy foods so much anymore. I’m diving back into healthier options and this keto creamer is perfect for coffee!

6. Decorating with plants

I love plants and I think they are so photogenic! Cactuses and pampass grass are my summer favourites.

7. “When you find out the world is against you (and other funny memories about awful moments)” by Kelly Oxford

If you’re looking for a great, funny book to read by the pool or on a beach - this is it! Canadian Author Kelly Oxford shares her life stories and failures in a way that’s super heart-warming.

“Kelly Oxford’s writing is hilarious and fearless. She’s the badass Canadian sister I never had”

— Mindy Kaling

Winter with Christie Ressel

Stylist Christie Ressel

New Year is here and January is almost over! For many of us the beggining of the new year is a great time to update our look.

This photoshoot with Christie Ressel features four lovely looks that I hope will inspire you to dress in a way that empowers you!

This second look brings back the 70s! Christie loves bell-bottom jeans and blazers and I have to say it’s a look that will always stay timeless.

Christie’s third outfit is such a good reminder to wear colour in winter. It’s an instant mood lifter, which we all need during long, Canadian winters…

Christie’s last look was quite special because all the items come from… Walmart! Yes, it may be hard to believe at first but a great stylist can find lovely outfits everywhere.

Fall Favorites

How are you enjoying fall?

It’s the season of warm tea & coffee, books, strolls through the park and cozy evenings.

This fall I made sure to have some time to relax and spoil myself since it’s been a very busy year, not just because of work but also private life.

I did some shopping, I took a trip and of course spent a lot of evenings reading and watching good shows.

Here’s a few of my fall favorites:

1. Heart Cardigan

   This is my definite favorite when it comes to new sweaters this season! It’s really warm, cute and versatile. I love putting it over dresses when I go out and over other sweaters when I need to be very warm.

2. Quebec City

This fall, together with my husband I took my first trip ever to Quebec City. I instantly fell in love and even super cold weather didn’t stop us from exploring. Old world charm, great restaurants and beautiful views - what more can you want?

I wish it was closer to Toronto!

3. Photo of the Season

It’s incredibly hard to choose a favorite fall photo, because it’s such a photogenic season…

I keep coming back to this photo of Christie, because I love everything about it. The scenery, the pose, the expression, the outfit!

4. “Silent Patient” by Alex Michaelides

Fall is when I spend a LOT of time reading. Thrillers are one of my favorite genres and I always browse through them at bookstores and the library.

Sometimes when you love a genre it can be hard to keep finding great books. “Silent Patient” was such a treat for me! I definitely did not see the ending coming. If you like thrillers, I highly recommend it!

5. Quote

Those of you who know me personally know how I value service. I believe that when you do what you truly love, you not only give to someone but to yourself as well.

There’s so much you can learn about yourself and there’s so much personal growth coming from it. I want to add that good service should always be within healthy boundaries.

I hope you enjoyed my Fall Favorites and found them inspiring! Enjoy your fall!

Fall with Cathy Missios, Pink Avocado Nutrition

Cathy Missios, Nutritionist at Pink Avocado Nutrition

Fall is here and it’s so gorgeous!

I was eagerly waiting for Cathy’s next photoshoot because fall is her favorite season and I knew we would create something incredible again. Cathy is our Subscriber, which means she benefits from regular photoshoots. This way she has great content for her marketing and her social media is growing very fast.

For this lifestyle photoshoot, we had set up a beautiful picnic in a nearby forest.

A good location with great light conditions is crucial to capture fall’s true beauty.

I could not be happier with spots I scouted out for Cathy’s fall photoshoot!

Another thing that is lovely about fall? Outfits.

Fall outfits are very photogenic and Cathy did a great job of bringing the right outfits for her photoshoot. The more effort you put into bringing the right outfits for your photoshoot, the better your photos will be!

After Cathy’s photoshoot on location, it was time to head home and capture some super cozy, fall photos at home.

After all, fall is such a cozy season!

Early Fall Fashion with Christie Ressel

Stylist Christie Ressel

Fall is here!

I’m beyond excited to share our latest fashion photoshoot of Christie Ressel with you. Fall is Christie’s favorite season, so I couldn’t wait to see her fall outfits. I’m always so inspired by Christie’s styling skills and this photoshoot was one of my favorites to date.

This photoshoot reminded me you never know where the day will take you.

Two locations I planned for Christie were not available, so I had to improvise. It just so happened we drove past this incredible black & white building and it couldn’t be more perfect for this outfit:

Fall is the perfect time to take out your beret out of the closet.

A beret is such a stylish accessory and I love how it has that je ne sais quoi.

Christie’s last look was quite special because all the items come from… Walmart! Yes, it may be hard to believe at first but a great stylist can find lovely outfits everywhere.

I hope you enjoyed this photoshoot and that it inspired you to dress up in the fall!

xoxo,

Agnes
