Behind the Scenes of our Fall Look Book Photoshoot

As you guys know, our Fall & Winter look book dropped Labor Day weekend last month. We were more than excited to get these iPhone and iPad case designs to you all! We did a lot of research, worked day and night, and strived to give you guys the best quality cases with a sleek and interesting design.

Our first day of shooting we were lucky enough to have talented photographer, Preston Richardson, shoot for us. Preston is such a talented and humble individual to work with. He fit in so well with the rest of the CO team, we can’t wait to work with him again! I was able to get some behind the scenes shots of him in action with our stylist and models.

We planned for a sunrise shoot and the light was UGH-MAYZING. Yes, spelled exactly like that. 😉  All of us were really grumpy (okay maybe not grumpy…but tired) about waking up at the butt-crack of dawn but it was well worth it. Actually, we had to wake up earlier so we can be IN Downtown LA at the butt-crack of dawn. Haha! I was able to capture some of the gorgeousness that was going on and took a couple amateur shots of my own. 🙂

What I am and What I’m not

Accepting yourself for who you are is no easy task. The faults, the beautiful quirks, the pet peeves, the obsessions…there is so much that goes into making a person unique. One of the hardest things I still struggle with is accepting who I am and being proud of it. I don’t know if I will ever be able to say that I am comfortable in my own skin, but what I do know is that I’m going to continue to be the best me that I can be. And I think that starts with starting to really investigate my inner self. Start to make decisions to better myself. Moreover, sticking with those decisions and actually taking action.

I am…
…a wife.
…a woman of God.
…a daughter.
…a friend.
…a student.
…a motivator.
…a techie.
…organized.
…resourceful.
…sensitive.
…an event designer.
…a graphic designer.
…an entrepreneur.

I am not…
…a little girl.
…afraid.
…alone.
…hopeless.
…an expert.
…intimidated.
…worthless.
…stupid.
…green.
…outspoken.
