This post is coming a little late but I felt it was absolutely necessary to share. I’ve been so touched by the messages you all have sent on my Glitter Guide Shop The Street feature. It really was as much fun to do as it looked thanks to the help of some great people!
{A view of the downstairs area of the salon}
Canvas is a salon here in downtown Charleston that I have been going to for quite some time now. I go to Marie (co-owner along with Turner Watson) and have never been happier with my hair or with a stylist! So many of you complimented my hair for the photoshoot, well Marie was the master behind that one!
{First shot of the day, I was cracking up!}
The salon itself is gorgeous & charming, located in the heart of upper King Street’s shopping district (because you must do a little shopping and grab lunch after a salon appt!). Canvas recently expanded to the upstairs of their building and now offers nail services too! It seems so crazy, but nearly EVERY girl with fabulous hair that I know here goes there. It really is the place to go and have a glass of wine while you get your hair done. Be sure to drop in and see them. All the girls at Canvas are amazing.

And what’s a photoshoot without a photographer??! Gray did such an amazing job on these photos that I simply don’t even know where to begin. The fact that I was at ease and actually enjoyed myself during the photoshoot (do you know how hard it is to pose by yourself?) was thanks to Gray. She has a way of putting anyone she is shooting at ease. Not to mention she helped pose me so that my baby bump stayed pretty well disguised.
{Hiding behind a dress always helps, ha!}But this isn’t even the type of photography that she specializes in. Gray’s a master at children’s photography. Master!
I took these pics from Gray’s facebook fan page and then plugged them into my rinky dinky collage maker. I assure you her quality is a lot higher than what I’ve done to the pictures here (like that Gray?). So if you’ve got kids, book her!

Last but not least, thank you to all of the amazingly stylish shops and businesses that allowed us to come in and take photos.
The
Shop The Street story would not have even been possible without you! Thank you for making Charleston a fashionable town to live (and shop) in.
