Who inspires you?

I was elated when Katie Moss with Peekaboo Photography asked me to do the hair accessories for her Christmas card photos. She is always so full of captivating ideas. I think one of the many reasons Katie is such a highly regarded photographer is that she is a designer. She plans her shoots out well in advance and is very detail oriented. I was enamoured with her plan, the props, the color palette, the dresses, all of it. I tucked away in my craft room for a few days to work on these accessories with a collection of golden hued high quality supplies and my mind purely inspired by her vision.

I was so thrilled to see the photos in my inbox, with the hat, halo (Katie's idea entirely), and headband all modeled on Olivia, Mya, and Lyla a few weeks ago.

Katie's Christmas cards have been shipped and received so now I can share the photos here!

It has truly been a joy to work with Katie this year. She just simply inspires me! Thank you Katie for all of the photos you have generously sent my way of my designs! You are truly a blessing! Have you seen on her blog that she is doing a photography workshop with her best friend and the fabulous children's photographer Skye Johansen? I REALLY want to go!

A pattern is coming soon for the Vintage Heiress Olivia Hat. You can also purchase it here. My mom is in town and saw the hat last night and said she used to wear similar hats when she was a teenager. Oh how I wish I had a photo of her in one of those! I have also had a lot of requests on facebook to make the halo a pattern so that they could be made for weddings and other occassions. What do you think? I am also happy to take a custom order on any of the three.

Oh what gorgeous photos! She does AMAZING work! She's allowed me to use some of her photos in my Etsy shop as well (www.lissylee77.etsy.com) so I am pretty sure your some of your items are featured there too. She just has an amazing creative eye! I have to send you kudos too. your headbands are the most adorable things! Makes me want to learn to be a photog and take picts of my 2 DDs like she does
