BerLynn Designs // Etsy Shopowner Extraordinaire

I know, I know, I am so behind on blogging. I am really trying to get past the whole, it's got to be a perfect thing. What is it that Elizabeth says to Mr. Darcy, ". . .unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room. . ." Not that I expect to amaze anyone just really not bore anyone. Please tell me that some of you dear people do actually read what I say occasionally. . .not all the time I am sure, but sometimes at least?

Haha! Either way, I will most likely keep writing in the same silly way as I usually do and when I have nothing to say I will just post pretty pictures. ;) Win, win.
I have a dear friend who sells ties and other such cool stuff on Etsy.

She seriously has some amazing things in her shop and is in the process of developing her website and wanted some images for it and for a show she was going to in the Athens, Georgia area. So one day with the threat of rain looming on the horizon, I made my way to her house for some fun product/model shots (after a quick stop at Target to get Liam some nice shoes and a button-down shirt since I had forgotten he was to be one of the models. OOPS!)

The rain held off and we got some beautiful diffused light from the cloudy skies. Here is a selection of the gorgeous ties from Berlynn Designs.

Her husband is Spencer's childhood best friend. He was also the best man at our wedding. He is definitely a trip to be around and I love him like a brother. He has the readiest laugh of anyone I know so when I first started taking pictures of him I was surprised by how incredibly serious he was. I said something off the top of my head to make him laugh which I cannot share here (sorry) and it worked like a charm. Find the tie here.

Details, details, details.

Gotta love a man who can wear pink and pull it off this flawlessly. . . and confidently.

Seriously one of THE cutest baby models I know personally. (Shhh, don't mention that he's the only baby model I know personally.)

Spencer's other best friend stepped in to help out in modelling the skinny tie. He is goofy by nature so this picture came naturally.

A little help from his gorgeous wife. . .

There's something about this series that I just love. I like how they flow.

Isn't this a cool idea for a tie? I love it and how he paired it with the perfect matching shirt and grey slacks. This tie is for sale in her shop here.

HELLO GORGEOUS! ;D

{{SIGH}} What a face. Can you blame me for loving it as much as I do?

Matching ties for father and son? Yes please! How cute are they?
Photobucket
How about matching ties for the whole family? WHAT?!?! That's right, Lady Ties.

I love these shots. Yes, she may slightly resemble an airline stewardess or something of the sort with the luggage around her, but to me, she looks tres chic!

The amazingly talented creator herself modeled a few of her lady ties.

This girl is absolutely gorgeous.

Those dimples, are you kidding? I've always wanted dimples. If I smile REALLY unrealistically big I have one on my cheek under my left eye. Yeah, but I never smile that big. It's not comfortable. Hmmm, I think I may have strayed off topic. . .moving on.

Can this girl work a suit or can she work a suit? HOT stuff.

A little different perspective and a kick-butt shot of the amazing lady tie.
