Eco-Chic Design

I am so excited to talk about this lady! A few weeks ago I mentioned having to reschedule a session and how excited I was about this project...well, here it is! Eco-Chic Design is headed by interior designer Marie Brown of Lincoln, California. I had a great time working with Marie last year doing portraits for her website. You can imagine then how excited I was when she called about doing design photos as well! We met up a few weeks ago and spent the day photographing her 'beach' house which I am absolutely in love with! It was a bit dark, so we had to 'simulate' sunshine with studio flash which was a fun opportunity to create different moods and play with texture and shadow. It wasn't hard deciding what to photography, rather what NOT to photograph! There are so many fun pieces in her house. As you can see, she has an incredible eye for detail and beautiful, eclectic pieces. And, as her business is green-based, her designs are built around recycled or environmentally friendly pieces such as these colorful living room chairs which were crafted from recycled boat wood. They are unlike anything I've seen or felt - the texture is almost like soft silk. Even the paint used on her walls is environmentally friendly and free from toxins. I am so inspired every time we talk so it was a treat to spend the day with her, chatting as we went and capturing some great images to display her work!
