i adore TWIGS & HONEY & her amazingly unique
& inspired designs…MYRA CALLAN the brains & the beauty
behind TWIGS & HONEY is a one of kind talented woman….
i was recently lucky enough to photograph some her new head
piece & veils for a twenty four (yes 24 pages!!!) page spread for
the lovely magazine MUNALUCHI BRIDAL MAGAZINE…

….MYRA ON STYLE & INSPIRATION….
“I’m currently obsessed with decadent laces, beading and soft silk fabrics. My mind is constantly abuzz with new design concepts and projects I’d like to pursue. I have several large projects and collaborations in the works and cannot wait to reveal them over the next year. In addition, the 2012 Twigs & Honey Collection has been brewing for half a year already and I am so excited to share it – I promise there will be lots of surprises.
When I’m not busy with Twigs & Honey, I enjoy leisurely walks, running, gardening, and spending time with my husband. My current obsession is cooking all natural vegan dishes.
Twigs & Honey pieces are a mix of romance, whimsy and femininity. The collections include headpieces, fascinators, veils and more. The pieces are handmade in Salem, OR with attention to detail, design and quality.”

one of the things i love most about MYRA is that she is completely self-taught….
her creative spirit is a combination of innate talent & lots of hard work… MYRA’s
designs are a constant marriage of often times, dichotomous styles….she continually
strives to create innovative and exciting new pieces that cater to all personalities…..
MYRA has designed exclusive pieces for BHLDN and was commissioned by Ann Taylor
to design and create handmade paper flowers for their window displays and accessory
moments nationwide….additionally, she has been a Featured Seller on Etsy…..

i am so thrilled to have shot the cover of
SAN FRANCISCO BRIDES MAGAZINE
you can view the magazine ONLINE or
pick up a copy & thumb through the pages….
inside you’ll find a beautiful 12 page spread…
when SAN FRANCISCO BRIDES MAGAZINE hired me
to photograph this spread on a vintage ferry in san francisco
i almost fell right out of my chair…a VINTAGE FERRY?? in SF??
it was a dream come true…i cannot fully express how thrilling it
was to be shooting blocks away from the
SAN FRANCISCO ART INSTITUTE….
i earned my BFA from SFAI years ago…
dreams can come true…xoxo
