I am not one to blindly follow or vouch for a brand or person so as I share this post as well as the brand with all of you you’ll know that this is something you truly should know about. Once you truly interact with Tierra, the Escape the Ordinary founder you will quickly feel how genuine and passionate they are not only as a person but about their brand as well. Though Escape the Ordinary is a small brand that is still blooming the few available pieces are well made, at times instill a sense of nostalgia, and look great essentially on everyone.

There is something so terrifying yet synonymously inspiring when you think about how one occurrence, exchange, interaction, or decision can alter or change the direction and path of your life. This ideology truly sticks with me, especially with occurrences such as coming across a brand and its founder on a chaotic shopping trip that eventually leads to one of your favorite creative shoots to date. This brings us to today’s blog topic, I want to talk a little more about my most recent creative photoshoot featuring the brand Escape the Ordinary. I came across Tierra and their brand Escape the Ordinary on a quick yet chaotic shopping trip to find a dress to wear to my birthday dinner. With a little help from Tierra, I not only found a dress but discovered a cool brand. Escape the Ordinary is a brand founded in the heart of South Carolina that is reminiscent of brands like Aime Leon Dore, Kith, Awake, and Golf Le Fleur.

A little inspiration..
This photoshoot was one that felt like a breath of fresh air. Collectively the team felt as if this was the first shoot for fun we’ve done in a while. As creative people who work in the various industries it’s important to still be able to express yourself through creating freely. A shoot where there are no rules nor guidelines..just fun.
