Valentine’s Day

Lifestyle blogger, Yana from La Vie du Papillon, wanted to do a Valentine’s Day-theme shoot, that didn’t involve your cliché roses and hearts. Thought we’d bring a little street style and funk into the shoot, and use the great LOVE wall in Culver City. Literally, this wall was COVERED in LOVE!
