kristin got married

our beautiful new bestie, kristin really loves ban.do.  not only did she wear one for her adorable engagement pics, but she wore one for her wedding, too.  oh, and her gorgeous sister, ingrid, got in on the fun with a cute heart m. girls, you have made us proud!

oh, and how great are all of these pics by photographer jessica johnston?  nice work, jessica!

prop styling

every now and then jen still takes prop styling jobs and jamie still does wardrobe.
since our time is so precious we only work with people we really, really love.
coliena rentmeester is one of those people and jen had the pleasure of styling this shoot with her this past year.
she filled a truck with tons of goodies, including an old floral couch (seen above), some old school bikes, a sweet wicker elephant table (next to the floral couch),
a butterfly balloon she picked up at von’s, hula hoops, surfboards and a crazy kitten statue that you can just make out on the top of the piano.
it’s hard to believe it was about 55 degrees out that day.  poor model!
ps.  jen is very happy about the perfectly placed tinsel right behind the model’s head in the last photo.  it’s the little things, don’tcha know?

 

 

gearing up for the holidays

one friday morning last month we spent a few hours getting all dolled up, and of course, being ridiculous.
we could not have done it on our own . . . we never can.  when left to our own devises, it is not pretty.
thankfully jaimi and catherine were there to help save the day.
we love these girls in a big way! GIRL CRUSH!  and we highly recommend hiring them to get you holiday ready!

our latest video

our latest video should be going live tomorrow, but here is a little behind the scenes peek. 
at least you can get a sense of how skilled our editors our (i.e., they knew enough to cut this whole part out).

ps.  jamie is wearing this and jen is wearing this and these.

secret santa

we had a very successful ban.do secret santa over the weekend.  jen and jamie scored BIG TIME. 
so we’ve decided to include you guys in the fun.
