Neutral Modern Boho: An Earthy, Romantic Style Shoot in Crown Point

Allyson Hutchison |  March 8, 2024

The inspiration for this creative day came from the shoot's two lead photographers, Alyssa Ruess and Breanna Aaron. They always wanted to have a stylized photographer content day to collaborate with talented local vendors. A boho theme with neutral colors was the vision that came to mind, and it wouldn’t have been complete without the neutral floral designs from Marco Alexzondra Floral! Alyssa shares, “We love dried florals and a neutral, earthy palette. We wanted this session to be fun and romantic!” Luckily, the venue offered some fun scene setups, like the outdoor bed and the VW bus for the team to style. We think they nailed the vision with that dress, too. The floral details and full tiered skirt are perfect for this romantic vibe!
