Goosebumps

Yesterday evening I inspired someone.   Just by inspiring her, I inspired myself.  I needed that.   

I attended a wonderful local seminar/meet up in Seattle that included delicious treats, fabulous cocktails and an array of wonderful, stylish people.   Its always motivating when I attend meet up's that include people who have the same passions as I do.  The "creative" industry can be challenging, lonely, and most of all defeating at times.  Putting myself out there to talk about what I love to do, keeps me pushing through my passion.  

She was a pastry chef.  She was in between working for some really great companies to finding her own place in the culinary world.  It had been months since she has felt that passion that keeps us going forward in a career that often does not pay well, but we get the satisfaction and joy that fills our cup.   After she gloats about the things she has done and the things she wants to do..... she stopped and rubbed her arm viciously back and forth.
"You are making me give myself goosebumps talking about this.  I haven't had that feeling in months. You've inspired me."  

Girl, I get it!  When we are so involved with our daily lives and survival tactics, you can easily get swept away and lose that feeling.  That moment filled my heart.   I inspired her. She bounced that inspiration right back to me.  I needed that.

A glimpse into the future

A fun outtake I art directed and styled for an upcoming editorial spread.  
Stay tuned, 
unless this image entices you to jump into your convertible and head off to somewhere unknown!

Jessica Alba's THE HONEST COMPANY

Jessica Alba's The Honest Company for www.zulily.com is a vendor I recently got to be the art director and photo stylist for.  

After days of research and trying out some of the products, I knew that I wanted to represent these products  in a clean, modern, and approachable manner-just like they HONESTLY are.  The beautifully designed, Eco-friendly diapers and essential family products are a breath of fresh air- that's what I wanted these images to reflect.  





The scents for these toxic free household products are unlike anything I have ever smelled before!   
I felt as if I could actually digest them (probably do not recommend)!  HA! 

I fell so in lust with these products I promptly started my shopping list.  First to arrive at my door?   
The Vegetable Wash (not featured in these images) that I have been missing from my juicing routine!
