Happy New Year

The new year is inspiring with so many new projects on the horizon. First up was a long anticipated photo shoot with Natasha Estelle Djuhandi. When she told me Jessica Smith was going to be modeling I was so excited. Jessica recently moved to NY to pursue modeling and she is one of most talented models I have worked with. I imagine we will be seeing her in bigger magazine editorials very soon..

This weekend was the Portland Bridal Show at the Expo center and I lent out a lace wedding dress and capelet to Austie Eckley for her model to wear.  Austie makes incredible bridal hair pieces and she also does professional hair and make-up. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone getting married. The time she did my make-up I loved it!  Model: the lovely Zoe Sherman 

I can barely take any styling credit for this photo because I wasn't there freezing in the snow with Cassie Meder and Kindra Nikole, but this photo is beyond amazing and I have to share it.  I love everything that Cassie does, so when she asked to borrow some wardrobe and the St. Lucia crown for this shoot I was flattered and especially excited because she planned to use real candles in the crown.  (Believe me, I tried it and it is very scary) 

And last, but not least - my Secret Oregon Bride cover!  Every issue they release two covers and I somehow missed this one even though it has been out now for months.  Very flattered to have a mostly full length picture of my dress on the cover! 

On one of the darkest days of the year, Lana Moon Nyman at the Haunt holiday party as St. Lucia, the patron saint of light.  Thanks to everyone who braved the bad weather and came out.  A special thank you to Christine Shields for the luminous hair and make-up and Karina Reed helping with the set!
