Mirror80 Snapshots: Behind the Scenes

November 4, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

Confetti fun

Hi there! Just checking in to say hello…and that I hope fall has been treating you well. It’s been a busy one here at Mirror80, and today I wanted to share a few behind-the-scenes snapshots. I’ve been trying to do more original photo shoots for the blog, and I’ve taken some time to learn more about my camera’s capabilities (thanks to this fabulous class from A Beautiful Mess). In terms of fall plans, there have also been a LOT of social events, like last weekend’s big family reunion, and it’s really been a time of reconnecting with the people I care about. But back to the blog, are you ready for some photos?!

Here’s a shot of my glamorous studio (the back patio)! Recognize that pumpkin hanger project?

Glamorous outdoor staging

A lost photo from my Warby Parker still life shoot. The glasses are the Simone frames in Blue Coral:

And from part 2 of the shoot, here I am, realizing the glare on the glasses is going to be a problem (I’ll know next time to take the lenses out–ha!)…

The glare

And last but not least, my husband celebrated his birthday this week, and I filled our shower with balloons and a fringe curtain to surprise him! (I was inspired by this Oh Happy Day post)

Birthday surprise

What have you been up to this fall? Creative projects? Memorable festivities? Fun surprises? Leave me a comment below…
