I just got back the final images from the 2 shoots that I styled last month for Frank Bradford and I'm very happy with the results. These are from the Advanced Location Lighting Workshop:

And this is from the Vera Wang Shoot:

:-)

This past Tuesday, I had another shoot with Frank Bradford at the beautiful Planting Fields Arboreum here on Long Island. This was another event in his and DJ LaDez's lighting seminar week and it was sponsored by Berger Brothers (www.berger-bros.com). This was my first time at the Arboreum and it was breathtaking! We had 2 great models for the day, Svetlana Kapralova and Marianna Postma and me and Flor (Makeup Artist) decided to split Makeup duties for the day (Me with Svetlana and Flor with Marianna). The best thing about that day though was the Vera Wang dress that was loan to us. This dress was just beyond...It's from their Fall 2011 collection (right off the runway from last Fashion Week) and one of the most beautiful wedding dresses that I've ever seen. Besides the Vera Wang gown, I styled both models for a total of 3 looks that day. Here are a few behind-the-scenes photo. And as always, as soon as I get the final images, I will post them here :-)

Last Saturday, May 21st (the day that the world was suppose to end lol), I had a photoshoot at the fabulous Studio 385 in Tribeca (www2.ExposureCapture.com). The shoot was put together by my photographer Frank Bradford and lighting expert DJ Dez. It was sponsored by Lumedyne and it kicked off a week of four Lighting Seminars given by Frank and DJ throughout NY. I was the stylist for this event and I had an amazing time! Here are just a few of the behind the scenes photos from that day. We had 2 models and a total of 5 different looks between them. I've seen a few of the final shots, like the one above, but as soon as I get them all I will post them here.

I live for this dress *sigh*

So I got the pictures back from Saturday's photos shoot that I styled and I'm so happy with the outcome. So far, there has been over 40 pics but I always only choose one from each look and these 4 are my favs :-)

This photo was taken by photographer Susan N. who was at the shoot

This photo was taken by Michelle Neacy who was at the shoot also :-)

I had a photoshoot yesterday with Frank Bradford and had a great time. I was the wardrobe stylist of the day and got to dress the 2 models, Priyanka Gandhi and Nina Jade Napoletano (who are both fabulous btw). The shoot took place in Morgan Park in Glen Cove which is only about 5 minutes from my store. This location was so perfect, not only because it was beautiful scene-wise but because it was so close to my store that it enabled me to have the models try on a bunch of stuff before going to the location. I met up with the crew around 1pm and we got started around 5 and ended about 8pm. I was a little disappointed though because I had picked 4 looks for each model but we were only able to do 2 looks each :-/. This was because we got started late and was losing light but because the model were so great and the crew was amazing (including the makeup artist Flor Diaz) I wanted to milk it a little more lol. Oh well...there is always next time! I can't wait to see the final results..I stole a peek every now and then at Frank's camera and I loved everything I saw. As soon as I get the final images, I will post them here :-) Here are just a few behind the scenes shots.
