Girl Crush

Unbelievable shoot with Chip Willis this week. Nettie, the model, was sweet and beautiful. Sophia did some damn amazing hair and make up...I can't wait to see the final results.
I was able to meet with Chip and Nettie the next day and realized that Nettie has something special behind those penetrating eyes.

Chip Willis does L.A.

New photos from the Chip-sta!! (aka: Chip Willis.) Lucky man, shooting in L.A. with the beautiful Kate. 1950's vintage bathing suit and Paul & Joe bathing suit. Love how Kate is able to wear everything from vintage to glam to modern and rock all of it!

Looooove.

It's all black and white

So lately I have been obsessed with black and white. When I first started my web site I only wanted blk and white silhouettes as my images...not or the clothing but just for the "look." At some point I moved away from that, but its always been a huge fascination for me. As a collector of old photos, I am constantly drawn to black and white imagery.
The Greek is on a U2 "Boy" kick. There's a book he wants for Christmas that is about the making of the Boy album. Album, not cd, kids!!!! Today I have spent the better part of the afternoon trying to find it...no luck! But I did spend a good amount of time on youtube:


and then there are the images from Chip Willis.....it's all making sense.

The master...Chip and his muse..Lela.

Okay, she is now my official muse as well.....thanks to Sophia for the beautiful hair and make-up. It doesn't get much better than this, right?
WRONG.
There are many, many more. Thanks, Chip...Lela...Sophia!!

Sometimes.....

brilliance and beauty is right under your nose. Thank you Chip, Lela, Kate and Sophia. I am anxious to have those magical photos in my hand...........
in the meantime...look at some Chip Willis.

Chip Willis: I heart you!!!!!!

Okay..so i get this email from Reven a few months ago...(Reven is the model in my header, gorgeous, sweet and one HELL of a model) she wants to use some clothes for a shoot with a photographer...Chip Willis. At the time the name meant nothing to me, I was just happy to loan the clothes. We met at my store, Chip was on his way, I was feeling a bit tired that day, really and honestly not up to "clothes shopping" for a shoot, but it was Reven...so I took some advil and chatted with her while we waited. When Chip walked in his aura was instanly calming. A very un-assuming man, very tall, very nice and definitely knew his fashion. I was instantly smitten!! We started talking clothes and if you are like me, a designer FREAK, you can only imagine how exciting it is to speak fashion...with a MAN...who is also one of the most incredible photographers I have ever met. Seriously. When he said he was shooting at the Leland Hotel in Detroit I fell in LOVE!!! My kind of photographer.

The results? Nothing short of dreamy.
Thank you Reven and Chip!!!!!!!
