Tie Oxford Dress

Way back in February we did our autumn / holiday photo shoot. The shoot took place at the home of our photographer Nancy Neil. The house was originally built out of railroad ties at the beginning of the 1900’s and has tremendous character and warm, cozy feeling. We felt it was perfect for our collection. Check out all the shots here as we pull back the curtain and unveil Autumns brand new looks and a sneak peak of what really goes on behind the scenes of our shoot

It’s getting hot in here – just enough steam to write, “i love you”

We used an assortment of jewelry donated by Sara Downes Jewelry Design and Stowellen

A good reminder of the process involved in making the clothes – from idea to farm, from farm to yarn

Look at all the options! So many outfits we got through during the shoot, which means so many choices for you.
