This past weekend we had a little Red Velvet get-together. It was all kinds of fun! The last thing we did together was a photo shoot on Commercial Street, where our shop is located. These are my favorite photos from our little shoot.
The sunflowers were Holly's idea and the matching yellow dresses were a happy accident.
We had the most amazing weekend together. I'm so thankful for these dear friends. The love and support is so rich. Rachel and I first dreamed up the idea of Red Velvet almost ten years ago. If you would have told us then where it would take us we wouldn't have believed you. That's the truth. We're just really thankful, more than ever. So, which photo do you think I should hang on my wall?

I like photos that are whimsical and not posed so I like the one where you are looking at each other and smiling in the shop and the one where you are all laughing! But that is my choice. Where your shop is located it is like something out of movie – being from Australia it is pretty cool seeing a street like that!
The 8th from the bottom. Laughing photos are beautiful.
Although…any photo at all would work on your wall. They are so lovely.

FABULOUS babe!!! Dude, y’all should totally start an e-mag together…I’m always looking to your site for fresh ideas as it is…I can imagine being one of your first and forever subscribers!
Love this shoot, too too cute!

They are so cute! I love the photo of Emma all by herself, she looks so regal! 🙂
Great photos, I think they really capture the spirit of the store (from what I see on here!). Love the sunflowers in the pic 🙂
such fun photos! can tell you girls are all great friends.. I especially love the one where you’re holding hands with the blue wall as a background <3
ps; thanks for the comment (:
Oh wow, I love most of them! The ones where you’re holding hands are my favorites though. And the effect on the picture where you’re all crossing the street is great! Your town looks so quaint!
<3 Linda
PS. tried the beehive today based on your tutorial a couple of weeks ago and I have to say, I think it was a success, so thanks! I would've never thought to stuff a teeny towel up there... ha!
these photos epitomize friendship. loveee them.
I love the brightly colored dresses + tights + shoes. Definately some photos for my inspiration folder …

These photos are amazing. I love how they capture your personalities and your friendship.
Gorgeous! My favourite is the fourth last one – brick wall; sun flare; most of you not looking at the camera. It looks so natural and pretty.
These photos are so pretty, and the RV girls story is super inspiring. I hope I can be where you’re at one day. :]
I love the second to last photo of you girls, the one where you’re all spread apart and holding hands. It’s so cute and I love the sun flare. <3
I think you should frame the first image or second to last. The colors are bright and show a lot of personality. You gals are lovely and I hope to meet you and your beautiful store someday =)
I love all of your photos! Maybe you could make a calendar? Haha! x
Oh my gosh – you are so beautiful! Lovely photos!
Gorgeous photos! I love the coloured tights and yellow dresses.
wow! where are emma’s shoes from? they are fabulous and i’ve been looking for a pair JUST like them!! beautiful photos xx
All the pictures are pretty and super fun but I somehow have crush on this one: http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8358081ff69e2015390c2e227970b-popup 🙂
They are all beautiful! I think the one of you all outside the shop would be nice to hang on the wall. Or maybe you could just hang all of them! It’s so hard to pick just one~
Yay for Team Red Velvet!
I like the first one. I love the look of your shop & wish I had one just like it!!
Congratulations! I’ve been having the same thoughts about my life lately(same time frame). I think I like the 2nd to last one best.
lots of love,
D
Ohh definately the one of all you ladies crossing the road. very beatles esque!xx
Beautiful! I love the way your outfits all compliment each other. These pics turned out really amazing!

Amazing photos. Your story is super inspiring. I hope I get to visit your shop one day. I love this photo.

you girls are absolutely gorgeous and charming and oh so creative! these are amazing photos of friendship.
Wow! Emma looks amazing in that dress! *sigh* I wish I could wear yellow!
I like the one where you are all crossing the street, so Abby Road! Emma looks stunning in her portrait by herself – just lovely! All the pictures are beautiful, so it is hard to pick one.
I love it –from the clothes to the ceilings of your shop! The exterior is just as lovely! I love old looking streets/neighborhoods. So beautiful and so many stories.
You should hang the first one up or the one of you girls standing outside your shop!
The one of Emma in her gorgeous dress. I love the crackles on the side of the wall on her right. Perfect. Or the one of you all (two images down from that) where you are all looking like you’re having a fun and relaxed chat.
RED VELVET GIRLS RULE!!
you all look amazingly gorgeous!
http://katiediditt.blogspot.com/
YAY! I LOVE the one of all you giggling in front of the aqua wall 🙂
You’re all so darn cute!
Heartfelt congratulations 😀
LOVE this! You are all soooooo beautiful and fun!
The one where you are laughing and looking down.
the pictures turned out amazing!!! Love all the outfits!
you guys look fabulous! love all the photos!
Love Emma’s dress!
All of them!!
XO

These made me so happy – they are all so cute! It’s going to be a tough decision!
xo,
Sarah
You girls are too cute and too fashionable. Eeks I love each outfit!
These photos are just all so much fun, I want to be a Red Velvet girl too! 🙂
You guys are all so stylish. Lovely photoshoot xo
“Giggles” and “Shoes” both just ooze awesomeness. I would hang “Giggles” though, so that you’re always reminded of laughing with friends.
giggles or RV girls… I want to dress like you!!
So pretty! I love how all the dresses mesh. I had a dream about your shop last night; my sister and I both want to visit next year!
love, love, love these. You are all gorgeous ladies in lovely dresses.
How darn cute.
I personally think you should hang them all on your wall, every last one 🙂
xo
I really love the one where you guys are crossing the street it’s very beatles-esqu.
-Rene 😉
You ladies are so beautiful. These photos are great, they really show your personalities as well.
The pictures turned out so great! I like the second photo best because all of your smiles are beautiful!
These are just to adorable! My favorites are the giggles & feet shots. I hope that some day a dream of working with one of my friends with our own crafts can be as amazing as Red Velvet.
What a great time!!! The shoot really seems to capture the fun personalities of each special girl. You have a unique thing going, Elsie. It is inspiring to watch. Thanks for sharing 🙂

The one of you all crossing the street is so sweet!

Such a sweet post and lovely photos! I think it’s amazing to see how well you all work together and the creative measures you all contribute. 🙂
Gorgeous light, gorgeous dresses, gorgeous ladies. I love your personalities and your own unique looks.

you red velvet giRls are so stinkin’ cute!
any group pic would work!
very cute. i love emma’s dress especially!
you guys look so nice! and i really like those hanging lanterns in your shop..
You ladies are all so stunning! Elsie I’m dying to know your hair color.. Also, do you do it yourself or have it done? Thanks! xo.
the fourth one from top! You guys look beautiful, you match perfectly, you look like girlfriends from another decade (:
I’m a fan of the 6th from the bottom. BUT I say pick a bunch and do something with em C:

So so pretty! Every single one of you. You are all my greatest source of inspiration. I’ve probably told you that about 4 times in the last week alone, but I just thought you should know. 🙂 Thanks for being so positive, so inspiring, so lovely, and so uplifting. The blogosphere needs all of those things, and you are the champion of all of them!
Emma looks really stunning in that dress! Something different than her usual style.. love it! =)
red velvet girls are officially the cutest ever! i think you should probably dedicate a whole wall to these. and a photo album. because how neat is it to think that that 10 years later your dream is a reality!
I would literally hang the third up from the bottom of your post up in my house, framed. fantastic photo.
This warms my little heart.
So… I’ve had a LOT of trouble getting your posts/site to load the last couple months. Case-in-point, it took a few tries three different times to get to this one (sometimes it takes 2 or 3 days).
(Just wanted to mention in case you weren’t aware).
((also, lovely! As a non-KC person, it’s neat to glimpse your neighborhood in the background, too))
you all are so beautiful! i want everyone of those dresses! you ladies know how to rock some serious amazing style!
xo,
cb
so fabulous!
These photos are unbelievable! So magical. 🙂

Great photos which totally evoke where you are right now and the importance of friendship. It’s great to see growth and inspiration. I love your shoes Elsie and Emma’s dress is perfect on her. It’s too hard to choose which one for the wall! Kirsty 🙂
I love Emma’s dress!
ohh id love to hear about emmas dress (so cute!) and her shoes! i love them both!! vintage?
great outfits! you all look so lovely 🙂
You (all) look so lovely!
I guess it’s like the saying goes… Birds of a feather look fabulous together! (sorry if that’s a lil’cheesy, but it’s true).
freakin’ cute! You girls rock!
Y’all are so cute! I love how much fun you have at work – it is inspiring!
Much love,
B
Love all of these shots! You all look so genuinely happy! Lovely dresses as well <3
you guys are so adorable and lovely! 😉
Looks like you guys had fun, and you’re all sooo gorgeous. You should hang the one that has the best memory behind it. Then whenever you look at it you’ll remember.
Amazing pictures, you girls all look so beautiful! I’d definitely hang up the picture of the whole group in front of the blue wall (the one from a distant). But all the pics are gorgeous!
I love the photo with the sunspots! That’s the winner, I think.
I always love your tights. You have so many in different colors I would love to know where you get yours. Mine are constantly ripping and was wondering if you knew of any good quality brands that make cute colors.
Thanks! 🙂
Lovely photos! This looks like it was a blast! XOXO, http://www.NatalyasCloset.com
What ever happened to Silje???
The store and you ladies look so beautiful. I love the decor of the place.
i couldnt imagine having a more supportive group of girls as friends! so happy for all of you to have found each other 🙂
The very first picture is my favorite- love how it captures the playful moment with the beautiful store decor embracing you all like a big hug.

oh my gosh i love emma’s dress! you all look super cute!
You gals are WAY too adorable! The photos turned out lovely 🙂
oooh, i really love the second group shot in front of the light blue wall… and the first group shot in front of the brick wall is gorgeous- the colors are beautiful. lovely gals!
Jen,
Silje chose to leave Red Velvet when she wasn’t able to attend our weekends. We are still friends and we love her very much!
Thanks for all the kind words!
I am definitely going with “Giggles” – I love the emotion in that one! You girls are just darling! 🙂
oh my goodness. how lucky you girls are to have each other! love.
The BEATLES replica, of course!!!
I think any of the pictures with you guys holding hands would be perfect on your wall. There’s something very powerful about the image of women holding hands and uniting.
can i be a red velvet girl.. puhlease?
ya’ll always look like you’re having so much fun!
i love all the photos..
and the clothes.. the clothes.. ahh.
i have a [possibly unhealthy] obsession with you, elsie.. true story.
and these pictures remind me of now&then and the beatles.. two of my fave things.. ;]
Ohmygoodness – you guys are so cute!! 🙂 The first one of all of you against the blue wall is my favorite – hang that one!
yall are so cool! so inspiring!
all of the pictures are so sweet. would hang the one with the sunflowers or one of those of all of you together in front of the blue wall! Very pretty!!
I love the second to last picture where none of you are interested in the camera…that would go on my wall for sure!
All of you girls are so cute! I love the one of you guys laughing of course!
LOVE them all and Congratulations on everything you gals have accomplished! That kind of hard work and dedication is inspiring in every way!
and p.s. If it was up to me, I’d blow up the giggles pictures and cover the biggest wall I could. SO SWEET! I can almost see hearts and glitter shooting out of it 😉
This pics are so beautiful, the color mix is just amazing 😉
All you Red Velvet crafty ladies look so chic in your colorful dresses! I absolutely loved looking through the photographs of the shoot-I think my favorite photograph is the one where you all are walking across the street. <3
-Caroline
JUST found your blog! WOW!!!! I love it! Love all the vintage fashions and your photos are great! I’ll definitely be back to get inspired for things to wear…great blog!

Oh, amazing shoot…. loved it!
My favorite is the one that you guys are all looking at each other :))

these photos are fantastic! how blessed you are to have such great friends. i’m not sure why, but at this stage in my life i don’t have any close girlfriends. i don’t know what happened, but there are days when i long for that closeness (not looking for pity).
i’m sure you are thankful everyday for the ladies in your life 🙂
-erin
That is just about the most beautiful group of amazingly talented women I have ever seen. I am especially smitten over Emma’s dress – those shoulders – LOVE!
http://www.looselips-sinkships.com
Great photots, and such beautfiul outfits ladies. I am in love with all your gorgeous shoes!
This is such a cute photo shoot…you never fail to make me feel under dressed (wearing jeans as usual) cause you ladies look so amazing!
So cute! How DO you do your do like that? haha. Seriously, I’ve been trying to tease my hair to get a mod bump and it always flattens within minutes.
You ladies are all so gorgeous! Ya’ll inspire me to want to be pretty 🙂 I want to visit your shop soon. I’m dying to try one of those delicious cupcakes you keep posting pictures of! Thanks for the post.

I love the 4th photograph 🙂
How fun!! And you all have such fabulous shoes!!
You all look adorable in these picture!!
Wow! I’ve been away from my computer and without an internet connection for over a week now and I’ve missed so much!
AMAZING news and lovely photos! You all look so beautiful and I think these photos truly capture the feeling of Red Velvet Art.
I wish to all of you a happy and successful new season!
I think you should hang the first one because I really love the view of your shop and your lovely decoration!
The most amazing photos. Ever!
xx Aliya
you are all so beautiful! what wonderful pictures.
the first one of you in front of the brick wall is my favourite. I love the light, and you all look so happy!
This sounds like you had so much fun! And you all looked amazing! I love how you all matched with the yellow!

Um, wow. I am pretty sure you are the cutest group of girls ever!
# 6 from the bottom!!! <3
these photos are really pretty! (: the dress emma is wearing (she’s borrowed it from you, hasn’t she?) is PERFECT! i wished i owned something similiar… the pattern, the colors, the fit – lovely.
Oh my heavens, you girls are SO LOVELY! I’m dying to get to your shop in Springfield sometime soon!
Enjoy every post, thanks so much!
-Sally
I recently found your blog and I first have to say, I LOVE it, especially the photos of your shop and home! So, I’m browsing through your posts and I feel total deja vu , it’s my hometown of Springfield, MO!! As a Missouri transplant to Boston, I’m so glad to see such a creative group of ladies representing Springfield. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to come by the shop and visit when I’m home next!
You know what it feels like looking through these photos? A group hug. You are all such lovely spectacles! My pick for the wall photo: the 14th photo (I think I counted correctly)- where you are close together and giggling -> stunning sunshine, right there.
I was desperately jealous of your January weather for a moment, then I realized this was a re-post! *Sigh* Still makes me long for warmer times.
