Us Maxwells have moved homes about 11 times in the last 7 years..but this was our first time moving into a retail location for our business. Downtown Willow Glen is perhaps one of the greatest places on earth..lets just call it Pleasantville. The people are incredible, the buildings are historical…the type of place where it almost seems like there is music playing in the bushes like at Disneyland. Its that awesome. Our studio/store Betroth is located inside an old movie theater building downtown..and we happened to be moving in the same time as a Sassy little Salon called “Mesh” . We are neighbors:) And we love it. It has been so great getting to know the owner Erin throughout the process..and to see their business do so well from the minute their doors opened. The girls over there have been so wonderful to us..coming over daily to buy our accessories…sending over last minute girls going to prom..prospective brides..you name it..We are so grateful for them and for being cheerleaders for us:) While I have so many amazing hair dresser friends..I needed to experience this salon!! It was so great to sit and get my hair done by the oh-so-fab Wendy Tai over there..Im convinced that there is nothing better sitting in a cute salon..having someone play with your hair..getting to catch up on magazines..and listen to “salon chatter”. If anyone is in the Willow Glen area and looking for a little spruce..check it out..you will be in LOVE!

Anyways…we teamed up with Mesh last month for a little photo shoot to promote both of our new businesses…they provided the incredible hair and makeup..and we supplied the tops and accessories from our store. Lauren works at Mesh and was our over-the-top-amazing model..there were moments where I would go to pose her and before I would even utter the words she would just roll into this amazing pose..and I would be like. Uh-yeah-do-that! She is a natural and I am so grateful she came out to play dress up..my all time favorite passtime:)

You can see our store names on the Garden Theater sign…Eeeeh! So exciting!!

So I know I have mentioned here and there about Jason and I’s new little photography meeting place and super cute retail dream, {Betroth} but have YET to post any pictures or really talk about it..exceedingly sorry! April was our busiest month for weddings, portraits and engagement sessions, and I have been devoted to editing, and staying on top of my work. (Those of who you are clients from April, thank you SOO much for your patience!!)

Luckily, I have an incredible husband who is pretty much the male version of me..(creatively speaking)..while I have been shooting and editing he has spent countless hours getting our store up and going these last few months. Its is everything it is because of him..and I am so grateful he put so much energy into this dream of ours. A little store housing all of our favorite little things. Photography, accessories, cards, clothing, CUPCAKES..and more:) We have been open for  a few weeks now, but are still getting things set up and are continually getting more merchandise in (ok..and staying up way too late making adorable headbands.) We wanted to have a great space to bring clients, as well as have a place to grow for the other things we love. We have a great team that shares  the space with us..offering other wedding services other than just photography. We will hopefully have our store website up by next week where we will have bios of everyone contributing..so stay tuned!! But for now, I just wanted to share some fun pictures so you can get a feel for what we are all about…its not just bridal..so come visit us!!! We are having a Ladies Night Out next week..see info below….
