Starrsville Plantation | Styled Photo Shoot

covington_ga_wedding_photographers_venues_0016.jpg

Several years ago, I got to be a part of a styled photo shoot at Starrsville Plantation in Covington, Ga. What a beautiful venue, gorgeous model and over all, a very fun day for us creatives.

With all that has been going on with Covid-19, many of my brides have had to reschedule or have canceled their weddings completely and gone a different route. Please don’t lose hope ladies! God is so good and He is doing good! According to His Word, He loves us and wants the best for us. He is after our hearts! This is just a blip in time but for us here on this earth, although, it kinda feels like eternity, right?! As of right now, we have been quarantined for 45 days. What are you learning?

For me, being still in His Presence! Getting out my head and listening to His Holy perspective! I have found so much of His peace by reading His word! Just before all of this quarantine life started, I started reading the book, Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen and my small group started the study, Trustworthy by Lysa Turkerst. These two books are how I’ve been fighting this battle! I have linked both books for you.

I hope you enjoy our styled shoot and can maybe get some beautiful ideas for when it’s your time to marry the love of your life!!

Starrsville Plantation Styled Shoot | Covington, Ga

When Katie Perkins, coordinator of Starrsville Plantation and owner of Blondies True Southern Style, called me and asked me to photograph a styled shoot she was putting together to showcase her venue, I was so excited to be a part of it! It's always a pleasure working with her and seeing her visions come to life! On this styled shoot, she wanted to capture the glamorous boho vibes of Starrsville. The color palette was very romantic and natural with soft silvery greens, ashy blues and pops of pink. While Starrsville is known for it's rustic appeal they have been hard at work upgrading to make it more modern. Their newest additions include beautiful restrooms, stained concrete floors in the entire barn and fresh paint in the main house. Now go get wedding inspired and check out this beautiful photo shoot!

The Indian Headdress Styled Shoot | Covington, Georgia

holly_l_robbins_photography_covington_ga_photographer-001.jpg
I've been feeling extra inspired here lately.  After photographing RyAnne's dream session(check it out here) my brain hasn't stopped!

 

I started making this head dress about two weeks before the shoot.  And didn't finish it until my model, Tess, arrived at my home.  Sometimes I work best under pressure! Eeek!

 

Once Tess arrived, all of these ideas started flooded in.  Add beads to the leather, add the gold bands, make jewelry!  Thank the Lord for a hot glue gun!

 

 

I used felt and puff paint to create the look of the beading on the head band.

 

 

 

 

This necklace is special to me. . .Trey surprised me with it years ago.  It worked out so perfectly for our shoot.

 

Last minute we decided Tess wouldn't wear any shoes.  I needed leg jewelry!
Leather and beads. . .Bam!

 

 

Our horse model, Harley.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These have to be my most FAVE of Harley!  I fell in love with his blond lashes and nose whiskers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tess, thank you so much for modeling for me!  Mrs. Beth thank you so much for letting me use your baby Harley.  Gracie + Melissa, thank you ladies for washing Harley and making him so pretty for the shoot.  You ladies are awesome!
Love.
H.

 

RyAnne + Denim | My Dreams Are Reality

For a while I have felt a little stuck.  My brain has been spinning with ideas but I haven't been able to create.  I have been off and on suffering from postpartum depression and anxiety.  Apparently this is just what happens to me after I have my babies.  It's no fun at all.  Thankfully find myself surrounded by awesome, amazing people that can knock my hinny out of it.
This session for RyAnne has been in my mind for a very long time. . .MONTHS!  I was finally able to get this out of my head and into my camera.  And guess who hung in there longer than the usual five minutes!  I think it helped that it involved makeup, flowers, Denim the horse and her fave person ever.  Her trainer, Melissa.  :)

 

RyAnne said, "Okay, mommy, now I will turn this way!"

 

 

 

 

My love is becoming such a beautiful girl.  Her personality is that of a teenager, the words she speaks are beyond her years and of course she surely doesn't look four.

 

Those eyes. . .I see her daddy with a hint of me. ;)

 

 

The flower crown and the wreath were made from wild flowers growing my our field in the back yard.  I knew I only had a couple more days before they would die out.  I made them by knotting them in hemp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RyAnne's love for horses continues to grow.  She has been taking lessons for going on two years and has been in two horse shows.  I love that she has this enthusiasm. <3.

 

 

 

This session has been a dream of mine and I'm so thankful to have had the opportunity to make it a reality.  I would love for my clients to contact me about doing their dream sessions.  It makes my heart happy.  :)

Happy Monday! Love. H.

P.S. Thank you again Melissa and Trey for helping me!!!  Thank you Mrs. Beth for letting us borrow Denim.  And for my little model. . .you totally rocked it! <3.
