The Kayla dress is known for being so light, fun, and easy-to-wear, so when Marina, from Marina Wanders Photography, came up with the idea of shooting a Bridal styled shoot at a Playground, I knew it was a good fit.

Photoshoot at Jennifer's Garden
On December 14, I had the opportunity to work with some amazing Austin vendors to create some magic just in time for Christmas! Check them all out at the bottom of this post.
This was my first time going to Jennifer’s Garden in downtown Austin and I was very impressed. The inside is just as gorgeous and unique as their beautiful gardens.
This dress was all designed on my dress form opposed to how I usually design with a sketch. I am really proud of it for its simplicity and attention to detail. I sourced the fabric from an Austin vendor who was able to order me 100% Made in the USA Silks. The bottom of the dress is created with silk satin faced organza, a fabric I never used before, but was very excited about. The bodice is made with recycled lace from a clients custom order and the straps are silk charmeuse.
I met with our model Kayla Reed ahead of time at my studio so we could the perfect fit. I named the dress after her because she embodied what I want this dress to be, fun, free spirited, and gorgeous.
I love Christmas and love all the Christmas details Jazmin, our event planner, put together for this.
