Happy fall, Everyone! Each year I style a Halloween photo shoot featuring a pumpkin project with themes such as “terrazzo” and “iridescent”. This year’s Halloween shoot is inspired by the 1988 remake of The Blob, along with current trends in art and still life photography.

Retro-Modern Pumpkin Centerpieces

September 26, 2014 by Kate Leave a Comment

Happy Friday, Everyone! Today I’m sharing the pics from my latest photo shoot–a tribute to the retro power of fall produce. Pumpkins and gourds are the items of choice here, but instead of traditional arrangements featuring fall leaves, we’re shining the spotlight on accents such as marble, mirrors and tropical greenery. The result: a fresh approach to the fall centerpiece, and one that can’t help but channel ’80s-meets-modern design. Check out the images that follow, as well as some seasonal entertaining tips…
