Heather Stewart – Indie Bohemian Vintage Photography

Talent to Watch: Heather Stewart

Today’s post is an extra special treat for me. It highlights everything I swoon and strive for in my own artist life:

:: vulnerability, strength, and raw unapologetic truth,
:: indie bohemian style, eclectic global details, texture,
:: vision boards, handwritten journals, postcards, passports,
:: wide open spaces, intimate home decor, nature and industry,
:: family stories, vintage records, old boots, heirloom photos.

AND this sneak showcases one of my absolute favorite soul’s on the planet. Meet my dear friend + extraordinary talent, singer songwriter Heather Stewart.

Not only does she effortlessly house a voice the likes of Brandi Carlile + Bonnie Raitt, but she may be the funniest and most charismatic person I know. A wicked combination of reflective, thoughtful, soul and untethered, wild, spirit — she’s that one friend we’d all invite to our private desert island.

I was beyond stoked to photograph the artwork for her upcoming “What It Is” album as well as her upcoming website’s rebrand. Like her herself, it’ll make you smile and sigh in awe. It’s with pure glee that I share this sneak of some of our favs, photographed near Melrose and near Venice, California.

Vintage Indie Singer Songwriter Heather Stewart photographed by Karen Christensen of The Legacy Boutique for blog-worthy itunes album "What It Is," a mixture of Bonnie Raitt meets Brandi Carlisle. This Tommy Hilfiger inspired photo shot was shot near Venice Beach California.

To Heather’s unshakeable spirit and success: may she always live a life she loves.

Follow this massive talent on Twitter and FACEBOOK for album updates and a chance to see her perform live in Los Angeles.

These are sensational! I love too many to choose but definitely the first few with the jean jacket, the old records, the boots, those vision boards are really fun, the last few are so creative. Where did you get that mask? Do you use a prop house for photographers?

These are really sexy in the most natural way. I love literally everything.

CherylOctober 11, 2012 - 6:48 pm

Oooooh, the bedroom ones with the vintage albums rock! The first one is stunning.

WOWZA! Look at all you sweet peeps! BIG HUGE GIANT virtual hugs for this. All I can say is “agreed.” @Tony, the mask is actually Heather’s. Amazing, right? @Ann, I said that too!!! @Cheryl, when she showed me her vintage record collection I was like “YES!” @Sarah, we pulled clothes from a bunch of options and I just loved the layers and textures and boho jewelry. Totally my style. @Kerry, we just might do that. Ha! @Leslie you’re hysterical! @Cami, so happy you hopped over here!!! Loved your tweet too ; ) Thnx everyone xo

@Luciana I absolutely love #15 too! One of my favorites. We’re so likeminded. See you for brunch in the morning … Acai smoothies to come!

Someone on Facebook asked me last night about the jean jacket. I think her words were she’s “lusting” after it! Ha, ha! Funny thing is that’s actually pulled from my own closet. Bought it at one of my favorite little Marina Del Rey boutiques called Irene’s Story. Heather tried to steal it from me but I was like “hands off chica.” ; )
