This bonfire love shoot is like a dream come true. It is cozy, sweet, warm, gorgeous. Photographer Gina Zeidler is the genius behind these photos, she was inspired to create a beachy, bohemian bonfire style shoot with a Midwestern feel. So she included plaids, a sunset on a lake, a blanket to snuggle under and of course s’mores.
I could go on and on about all the reasons why I adore these photos. First, this shoot epitomizes fall. It makes you want to fall in love or if you already are in love, give your sweetie a big bear hug. It is a warm mug full of hot chocolate with marshmallows and whip cream on top. It is pure perfection.
See for yourself, photo credits to Gina Zeidler.
Gina found props on etsy and craigslist including this awesome plaid couch for only $25! Former client and model Lacey and her husband Jason were happy to be a part of this shoot. Um, aren’t they gorgeous?!
Do you love this shoot as much as I do??? Do you want to see more? Be sure to head over to Gina Zeidler’s blog for part 1 and part 2 to check out more amazing photos!
Thanks so much to Gina for sharing this with us!

October 1, 2010 at 12:25 amLOVE LOVE LOVE!!! This shoot epitomizes my feelings of love for fall and plaid and the Midwest and my newfound obsession with amazingly giant Campfire mallows! The mallows are a recent discovery I made when I was in a friend's wedding a few weeks ago in PA… The wedding party had a bonfire after the wedding and we had a blast roasting those! Btw, your blog is one of my very favorites to read — and I read quite a long list of blogs! 😉 Keep up the great work!
