Good morning lovelies! I just received the images from my most recent photo shoot, a spring-themed Japanese kimono shoot. I had to post a few of my favorites even though there are so many that I liked! It was my first time modeling a traditional Japanese kimono for a photo shoot, but I had a great time coming up with the poses and just wearing the beautiful robes and playing with the cute props. 

Anyways, happy Friday everyone! Hope you have a fantastic weekend<3

Love,

Samantha Mariko
