what does behind the scenes look of a bohemian shoot look like?

These are some behind the scenes photos of a boho beach shoot that we did at my parents cottage 2 hours north of Toronto. What a beautiful day. The clouds were cooperating and made for a breath taking backdrop. Our models were stunning. Michelle of Magnolia studios and I styled the ladies (after much searching in clothing stores and not finding ANYTHING that fit our theme) from our OWN closets. It was super fun to style the shoot and be at the beach for a day with all this beautiful team. See below for some behind the scenes from back in June.  

This shoot was one of the funnest ones I have done all summer! Who wouldn't love a day at the beach hanging out with this great gang?

I love this necklace that I hand designed. It's two vintage brooches. I love the flower and the deep red with the thick chain. I just find it stunning. It's available in my online shop.

I am taking a week vacation to the cottage. My cousin is doing an internship up at the hospital by my cottage, as an HR consultant, so she's bunking at our cottage. As my sistercuz,  I'm taking advantage and living up here with her. I'll still be blog posting, the beach always make such a beautiful  background! 

I finished Shadow of the Wind. If you love mystery books, entangled with a love story, this is the novel for you. I've started reading a Canadian novel by Carol Shields, The Stone Diaries. My two favourite cottage time activities are farm fresh, corn on the cob, and reading a good novel outside while the sun sets! What are your favourite august cottage favourites?
