Citrus Blues

Back in late spring, I worked with the talented photographer  David M. Bailey and model Alexis Cristianne to create an editorial for an online magazine publication. 

Our goal was to create two of my favorite passions

(makeup + citrus)

 into an eye catching look for an evening affair. 

I referred to it as the

"Citrus Blues". 

 Yves St. Laurent's Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara in Deep Night created the perfect flutter of lashes around Alexis' hazel eyes. 

I love bringing the look from the lashes to legs with these orange stilettos.

Alexis is THE MUSE in my life! 

Her character and intelligence inspires me often, and hello..... just look at her, she is stunning!!

*Thank you David M. Bailey and Alexis Cristianne for being such an amazing creative team to work with.

I love these shots of Ikea dishware.

I appreciate the cleanliness and sleekness of these images. 

 Makes me want to arrange all of my dishware in a fun,abstract way in my studio!

Sometimes, you just don't know what will happen when  you throw a kid out on set.  It can go surprisingly well, or completely the opposite.   I tend to get pretty lucky,  but sometimes I have to bring out all of my magic tricks when things.... well, to say the least.... not go as planned.  

Here are some fun shots my photographers have captured while on set.

Not planned :)

 Sometimes, you just have to pick a kid up and put them where they need to be. 

The "kid" isn't always the only "kid" on set at times.
