It was the most gorgeous container I had ever seen…
I was so excited when I was given the honor
to photograph for Rachel Ashwells latest post of her blog.
Her recent post was my favorite of all projects!!!
Why you ask?
This container was from Rachel Ashwells recent flea market trip to Brimfield flea market.
I witnessed each piece carefully taken off the container and placed into order, and
I got to document it and create these images!!! (photos)
I got to see first hand the amazing work and behind
the scenes of how Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture does it!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Beau hard at work!
The lovely, talented Susan!
You know you’re around something special
when you see that even when the boss is not around,
her team works even harder. We all carry her same passion,
and truly believe in Rachel Ashwell.
One of my favorite shots!
I have to tell you…
I am really touched on how amazing Rachel Ashwell really is.
I have had the privilege of hanging out with Rachel and I am getting to know her.
She is so kind, generous, warm and friendly,
she treats her team like family. I don’t even want to call them her
team or staff, because it REALLY is a family.
Not only have I been blessed to see the
beauty she creates, and create images for it, but I get to see
all the hard work
and devotion that goes into it!
Lots of love,
passion and people coming together striving to achieve the same goal,
“Pure Couture Beauty.!”
Wow, my eyes were so full and my heart had a smile.
I am so grateful to be a part of this!
(more photos to come)
Check out her the latest post of her blog!
More gorgeous eye candy to
see over there…
Have a beautiful day
Always,
all of this stuff looks amazing. such a history
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I met her at Brimfield this year and she was truly warm and friendly. You must have had such a great time phtographing! Good for you:)

I had read Rachel's Blog last night and witnessed all the wonderful pieces and behind the scenes peeks she so graciously gave us. How special that you were able to be a part of it, see and photograph all the lovelies as they came off the truck and get to know this amazing group of people that bring us the 'Shabby Chic' experience.

Lulu- I am soooo jealous! I have been following her since the very beginning of Shabby Chic..when other people used to think I was crazy... (well, they might be a little right). I just KNEW that she would be just like you described her. It just shines through her face that she is a wonderful, warm person. Enjoy! And congrats on the job you did! Diana
