Hey Babes!If you guys follow us on Instagram (which I'm sure you all do since our main viewer base is from there) I'm sure you've seen our many posts as of lately of @getback necklaces, bracelets and even their new rings! We recently have been collaborating with Get Back and love their pieces! We totally love what Get Back stands for and we loved putting our tropical touch in these photos with their pieces! Some of you may be unaware of this rad company and thats something that should surely change if you're currently reading this! So, What IS Get Back?Get Back is a sweet family owned and operated company here in California! The St. Christopher necklaces with the surfer, surfing on the back are something really special to surf culture, and now to all adventurers! Back in the day, guys would give their girlfriends these necklaces with the means of protection while the men would be away on surf trips. These necklaces, and now bracelests and soon to be rings now hold so much more meaning to all people with a thirst for adventure, travel, being outside, as well as giving a reminder of safety. In fact, (Melly, The Gypsea Here!) About 5 years ago, my boyfriend Bryce (who took all of these images) bought me my first piece of jewelry from a surf shop he was working at, at the time & guess what?! It was a St. Christopher Necklace by Get Back! He told me the story about the meaning behind the necklaces and the story alone was so nice to hear! (we were like 15!) I still have it and it's truly so special to me! Years later & now being able to work with Get Back alongside Bryce and now my best friend Annalisa too is so amazing! We really enjoyed this experience, working with such a cool company and really hope you all enjoy these photos as much as we loved creating them!Enjoy!

Hello Everyone! We're sharing our first blog post with you all today by showcasing images from our shoot for Ama Bikinis! A brand we both have been loving for quite a while and we were so excited to come together for this collab for them! We shot with our girl Shayla, (@shaylapenera) a photographer we both met through our own separate shoots and now she is a great friend that we adore spending time with! Living in Southern California, Yes, its beautiful, but not so much tropical, athough I must say.. We do pretty dang good making it look like we took a day trip to Oahu. I (@_gypseaa) was driving to meet with Annalisa and Shayla when I saw the location with the elephant ear leaves as I drove by. I had realized that it would be the perfect place to shoot as I was passing, so once I meet up with the girls, that's where we headed! It was a crazy busy street, but the photo turn out made it oh so worth it! For the props I wanted fun tropical fruit that would compliment the bikinis, so I picked up a mature coconut, and a Hawaiian papaya! We cut/broke them open & WALLA! The perfect tropical props! For the other locations we just walked around the beach town, and also our weekly meet up place, Encinitas! We scouted the cutest locations, grabbed some hibiscus flowers and began shooting the same looks in new spots! This shoot was one full of laughter and we made plenty of new memories! I loved hanging out with two of my fave chicks, shooting and eating tacos afterwards to celebrate a good day! I hope you all enjoyed the first blog post and We can't wait for much more to share with you all! XX - The Gypsea Photographer Credit || @shaylapenera Shaylapenera.com Bikinis..
