I recently had the pleasure of working with the most inspiring client to create fashion magic around San Francisco! Cecily is the face (and heart) behind the blog The Blush Exchange, which seeks to inspire other women to be the most authentic version of themselves. She has an incredibly unique style, is an amazing writer, and puts so much of her heart behind what she does. (Follow her on Instagram!)

I always like to meet or talk with my clients ahead of time to make sure that we connect, and I was blown away when I spoke with Cecily. She’s the real deal and I knew that we would be able to create magic together!

After learning about her aesthetic and what she was looking for in this photoshoot, I set about searching for the perfect locations around San Francisco. Location scouting is one of my favorite things to do, not only because I get to explore new places, but because I truly believe that the right background can really elevate your photos! That’s why I like to take the time to find the perfect locations for each of my clients.

In this case we were able to find so many great backgrounds within just a few blocks of the Mission District in San Francisco! Scroll on to see what we found and how beautifully the outfits that Cecily put together work with each location. Thank you, Cecily, for sharing your vision, being such a great creative partner, and for letting your true self shine through as an inspiration to others!
