Featured: Modern Wilderness Baby Shower

July 01, 2017 in Lifestyle

I received an email from Lorrie for a baby shower photoshoot idea and I knew right away that I wanted to do it. With her vision and detailed planning, I was confident that the shoot would be successful. And in the end, it was even better than I could've imagined. 

The theme was a Modern Wilderness baby shower and everyone contributed their craft to create something bigger together. Take a look for inspiration and check out each team member to see more of their amazing work.

The week has been a blur thanks to some intense food poisoning that left me with no appetite and bedridden for 3 days. I’ll leave out the rest of what happened 😐 ⠀  The culprit? My guess is the alice of bread I had that was next to a fuzzy slice of bread which I didn’t see until after the fact. Probably shouldn’t have used the dutch oven as a bread box because it seems to keep too much moisture 🤔 ⠀  What made things even worse was that I couldn’t even look at photos or videos of food because it made me feel sick. The ultimate betrayal 😂 ⠀  Today was the first day I could sit up for a bit and do some work. But really, I’m just thankful that I had finished all my shoots before I felt sick and my next batch of shoots isn’t until next week which gives me enough time to recover. ⠀  I don’t think it’s mentioned enough but physically demanding jobs, where you have to be present, require you to be healthy in order to do it. Days leading up to a shoot (especially a wedding), I’m careful about what I eat and do because it may not be possible to reschedule and I have to show up at my best for my client. ⠀  Easter weekend came at the right time so I’ll have an extra day or two to recover. Hopefully I can stand up straight and make it to Good Friday service tomorrow 🙊
Sometimes I crave freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies, but I’m not about to make it from scratch. So what I might do is pick up some @pillsbury pre-made cookie dough. Or... ⠀  I’ll just buy a box of cookies and heat up a few in the microwave for 15 seconds 🙊😂 ⠀  The type of cookies makes a difference though. The soft chewy ones are better for that gooey fresh-out-of-the-oven texture 😊 ⠀  Side note, here is the other end of @vintageandteak’s retro-modern kitchen 😁
This entryway and staircase were so enjoyable to photograph from top to bottom. The contrast, colours and all the details 😍 Can you imagine coming home to this everyday? Ok, I know 2 people who can 🙊
Fresh week, fresh loaf 🍞 ⠀  We’ve been trying sourdough from different bakeries in the city and though we aren’t experts, we do enjoy exploring the city while carrying around a loaf and snacking on it 😂 So if you have any sourdough bread recommendations, let me know! 😊 ⠀ (Can’t wait to try this loaf from @brodflour 😍)
This side table is one of my favourite things I got for a shoot. I bought it used and in excellent condition for $20. It’s still anywhere between $70-110 brand new. ⠀  One of my favourite features is that it has multiple functions. Both sections of the legs are detachable so it’s height adjustable and the top can be used as a tray 😁 ⠀  Side table: @homesense, @homedepotcanada, @wayfaircanada Carafe: @hastings.collective Mug: @cb2canada Pillow + cover: @ikeacanada Throw: @maisonsimons
Did you know that the cork of a wine bottle can pop on its own? We did not. Shortly after @kait.style removed the muselet (which I learned is the name of the wire cage that secures the cork in place), the cork launched straight up and ricocheted off the ceiling. If she hadn’t walked away when she did, the cork could’ve hit her. We were pretty shocked but had a good laugh after 😂 ⠀  I found out later that this can happen if the pressure in the bottle changes due to temperature differences. It’s never happened to me before, but just a heads up the next time you open up a bottle of wine 🙊
A full view of @thekwendyhome’s kitchen. She designed it for hosting and it does that so well. Lots of storage and countertop space, a huge island, multiple windows, open shelves, etc. Is it possible than an entire room itself sparks joy? 😂 ⠀  What’s even more amazing is how they keep the drawers organized. Everything has a place. Even the “junk” drawer is tidy. @mariekondo would be proud ☝️😊
I like starting off the morning simply with a cup of tea. Not because I want the caffeine, but the aroma is like comfort food 😊 While I like the smell of coffee, I wouldn’t be able to drink it so it would be a waste to make it just for the aroma. Has anyone made a candle that’s coffee-scented yet? 🤣 Side note: If you love minimalist ceramics like I do, check out @ar.ceramics who’s giving away a couple of her pieces #ARtheBreakfastClub5 Side note 2: Those leaf clippings? I’ve managed to keep one of them alive 🌿
Bathrooms with natural light 😍 And of course, the matte black shower👌 ⠀  It’s pretty cool to work in a bathroom and love it 🙊
