PHOTO SHOOT Sneak Peeks!

Last week I had a photo shoot in my home with über talented photog Sabra Lattos. It was a ton of work leading up to it (that I freely admit I imposed on myself!), as it was my hope that I could infuse as much of my personal style into each space as possible! But because Sabra and I are longtime blog friends and collaborators, no question, the day-of was so so fun. I’m super excited to see her take on my styling in the final pics, but in the meantime, here are a few peeks I quickly snapped around the house (more on Instagram!)…

The day ended for me with a sunset picnic overlooking Newport Harbor, joined by my visiting brother and his family (they are moving here to the O.C. next month!). It was an incredible sunset (no filter!) and made me feel even more fortunate. What a day!
