“I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.”
-Frida Kahlo

I was recently given a really exciting project that's been published in Hufmagazine and Ladygunn Magazine. Some people seem to be born with out-of-the-box thinking, and my dear friend Kate is just that person. She gave me a project that really pushed my imagination and creativity to a new level. We were told to think about the shoot's concept in a way that was outside how we're normally inclined — this was a shoot for the soul. Using a list of specified female artists, my research began.

There's something comforting in thinking about the past. The people, the dresses, the parties, and the glamour. The simplicity and charm of a time seemingly long ago creates an irresistible nostalgia. Inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby we created this charming editorial Elegant Nostalgia, perhaps to enliven a dimmed flame or inspire for the upcoming costume festivities.

This fashion editorial brings to life the inner bad girl. Inspired by girl cliques, and the Los Angeles metropolitan area this editorial is clearly a fun rendition. Be inspired by thin eyebrows, winged liner, and penciled lips.

     I don't know about you ladies but I personally really like having some more masculine staples as part of my wardrobe. I think that masculine pieces can bring balance to feminine clothes, accessories, and style. Plus, I'm a sucker for winter attire and this is my last chance (with the weather getting so warm so fast) to drool over these cozy pieces!

This dreamy editorial captures the essence of the day dream. Allow your eyes and senses to drift into the dream state. 

Haze of colors fading, twisting. Light dancing across the ground, leaves rustling. Shadows drifting, climbing over the rocks. Breath in the fresh crisp air. Nature's gentle lull. Lost in thoughts...
