Myrtle Photoshoot
I recently had the pleasure of doing a little photo shoot for the wonderful new Echo Park boutique, Myrtle. The owner, Whitney, has an amazing eye and put together some great looks for the shoot that we shot in the store with two lovely models, Lauren and Taylor. The bright LA sunlight threatened to ruin a good time (constant slapstick-like running around to avoid the sunbeams and dark shadows) but we totally made it work thanks to great team work. If you live in LA or will be here in the future, definitely stop by the shop – Whitney has curated an amazing selection in a wide range of prices. Not just clothing and accessories, either! Cute books, soap, stationery and other fun things – all made by talented ladies.

I love this shop! Stopped in right before Christmas and had a nice chat with Whitney. My husband was mesmerized by the apples from her parents’ farm that she was giving away with purchase — they had Merry Christmas written on their skin, as if by magic. She was kind enough to give him one even without purchase :) I think it’s still on our mantle!

I like all of the peach/pink tones in the photos due to that wall. It really complements the clothes! Great photos.

Hi!
I’ve been a follower of your blog for some time now (I love your blog, btw!) and I wanted to comment because I just visited this store yesterday and I absolutely loved it! I even blogged about one of my purchases on my blog. I saw the website before entering the store and saw these lovely photos, but I didn’t know that you were involved with the photoshoot! I thought this was just a cute coincidence and you did an amazing job :)
