Last weekend was the first shoot for the class of 2022 DOP senior reps... and let me tell you, it was everything! Des has been planning this boho, floral shoot for months. Finally, all the pieces came together to create well... perfection!
This whole shoot started with an image Des found on Pinterest {check it out below}. Des has yet to do anything genuine boho with her senior reps. Most everything to-date has been bold, bright colors and more of a high brow editorial vibe. This year, Des decided to shake things up a bit and do something simple and pretty. Des didn't want just your average, girl in a field boho, she wanted to infuse it with lush blooms and a very high-end organic style.
The image above eventually evolved into the mood board below which became the guide for the hairstyling, floral design, outfit inspo and make-up aesthetic.
There were four major components that worked together to make this vision come to life. First, hair and makeup. We all know that professional hair and makeup takes a shoot to the next level. So, what better girls to call than the girl bosses themselves? Rachael and Meaghan from Fleurt Beauty.
Second, location! When Des stumbled upon The Loft brow, lash, and skin bar on Instagram, she was all in! This Bmore studio is seriously SO cute, with a beautiful flower mural, painted white brick throughout, boho hanging chairs, and all the plants you could ask for!
Third, stunning floral arrangements were essential to this shoot. Roni's Roses is an award winning florist... so what better person for the job?!
Lastly, wardrobe! Let's be real here, Free People is the CEO of boho... no one can convince me otherwise. Des started with a style board for the 6 reps in the shoot. This board became the color inspo for the shoot and the final looks Des chose are super close to where she started when she laid out this style board.
Wanna know what the getting ready process looked like? Good thing there is a Tik Tok for that! Give Des a follow at DesireeOrtmanPhotography!
