I was very excited to work again with the very talented Edmund Prieto.  He has such a cool style and is always up for anything, which I love!  When I found out he was having a shoot in a desert basin I knew I had to be a part of it.  I immediately pictured the shoot to be a little bit industrial, but with some glamor thrown in it.  I had this great metal and wooden bench I have been wanting to use and paired it with my zebra rug to give that glamor feel.  I talked to the lovely Christine, who was going to be the model for the shoot and she said she had this great bubble, black dress… to which of course I said that was perfect for the shoot!  I had her also bring a great bold/glam necklace and bracelet and topped it off with a feather hairpiece of mine from my wardrobe!  For Johnny, I wanted him to be more simple so I had him wear a crisp white shirt and nice jeans to compliment the industrial vibe.  It was a little crazy because on the actual day of the shoot, I knew I was not able to be there but with the help of Edmund…and a few phone calls… we were able to get it done!

Edmund also set up hair and make up to be done by Kaycee marie and I LOVED it!

Don’t you just love black and white photos?  I do!  The lighting is gorgeous and it just give it a more drama…

I would have to say this is  my favorite shot of the day.  I love how all the props came together!  I added a fun, blue pillow (from my own house) to add a pop of color.

This dress is actually a vintage nightgown!  (from my prop wardrobe).  I wanted to make it more modern so I had her add a black belt and some great blue shoes (Christine’s).   Felt so blessed to style this shoot and of course use my props… for more great photos check out Edmund\’s blog!
