Kjerstine is a dear friend of mine, who also happens to be a badass actress, mama and all-around creative gal. So, when she asked me if I’d be interested in doing a fun, seventies-inspired photoshoot, I was all about it. I have a 1973 Dodge Tradesman named Booger (she’s a great green color, so it all makes sense) that would fit the theme perfectly and an itch to do something fun. So, I went through my wardrobe, she went through hers, and we headed out to her sweet little farm in Monroe to make it happen.
I was pretty shocked at the amount of pieces I had that fit into the seventies motif. Layer one thing over another and Bam! You’ve got yourself a look. But we couldn’t have pulled it off without Kjerstine’s friend Jill Landback who styled the whole thing and made a beautiful, cohesive set.
There’s a lot going on in this post, but that’s only because when you’ve got three creative gals, you’re bound to have a lot of ideas. Some featured a pink wig and a chicken, others were down by the river, and a few were moody housewife-esque on a couch in the dark. Like I said, LOTS going on. But it was all a great time and resulted in some really beautiful seventies visuals.
Let this be inspiration for those who want to do a family photoshoot in a different way. Maybe you’re inspired by an era like the seventies. Or maybe you love Harry Potter or some other magical land. The beauty of a photoshoot is that you control the aesthetic. And if your aesthetic is just jeans and a white tee, that’s fine too! Let your imagination be your guide, and I’ll gladly hop on for the ride!
Enjoy looking through these magical photos of a beautiful little family in the country.
