If you know me, you know I love anything period piece. This shoot is inspired by my visit to the MET to see a Dutch Masters art exhibit. I love a good still life. But not only did I find those at the exhibit, but the portraits with the ruffled collars, the moodiness of the paintings, and the jewel tones really spoke to me.

I love spooky things just as much as the next girl. But more of the romantic spooky vibes. I am not the haunted house, gore and skeleton kinda girl. With that said, I always loved Edgar Allan Poe poems. There was something about those sad tales of lost love that I found romantic.
