How to Style Overalls: An RVA Photo shoot with J & D Photography

Rebecca and I had the opportunity to shoot with the amazing team at J & D Photography. This was my first professional photo shoot and to say I was nervous would be the understatement of the century.

I’m talking drink-copious-amounts-of-champagne-before-I-get-in-front-of-the-camera-nervous.

I quickly realized once I got on site that I didn’t even need to pop open my bottle of Veuve Clicquot because of how easy it is to work with and to be around Jada & David Parrish from J & D Photography. One of my favorite parts about my experience with them was the insightful direction they offered throughout the entire shoot. David and Jada know their stuff and to be honest, I felt like a movie star.

What more can you ask out of a photographer for a special occasion than to feel like a movie star and recieve mind-blowing photographs as a result of it?

I can’t stress enough that David & Jada are a blast to work with, extremely talented (as you can see in the pictures below), and truly know how to elicit your best for an array of incredible photographs. If you like what you see, mosey on over to http://www.j-dphoto.com to see all of the amazing things these two have done! Jada and David do a wide range of photography from destination weddings to boudoir shoots. If you have an itch to do a photo shoot or are getting hitched anytime soon, what are you waiting for? I highly recommend you contact Jada and David for an unforgettable experience.

PS How awesome are these overalls? No, they aren’t OshKosh B’gosh. Outfit details are below and stay tuned for my next outfit post with pictures from J & D Photography!

I have never thought of myself as a beanie girl until I was forced into buying this hat by a combination of wrongful tourist assumptions & the New York City windy streets. Leave it to the beautiful brand of Free People to change my mind. I have been working this slouchy beanie into all of my outfits since, herego – cathclaire is now a beanie girl.

Oh My God Becky

Who says you can’t wear a tank top in the middle of the winter?  Just like that Reb transformed her favorite Buy Me Brunch over-the-bathing-suit tank into a winter outfit by throwing on equally outrageous fur coat and red lipstick courtesy of Nars. (And this is actually what she wore to dinner on Valentine’s Day!)

charming jewels at Hardywood Craft Brewery

Hardywood Craft Brewery is one of our go-to spots for craft beer here in Richmond. It is usually slammed with people but we love the vibe there so we decided to get there a little early and snap some pix before it got too crowded. Of course we celebrated with their Gingerbread Stout post-shoot at the inside tasting room!  (Ps. We are absolutely obsessed with the piano wire bracelets from Bee Charming Jewelry! They are perfect for stacking.)
