I met the sweet Lilia and her amazing mama, Jane Buckingham, at the Rag Doll Pink Palace for an epic three hour photo shoot for Saturne Magazine's Sept/Oct publication. This was my first time collaborating with the French publication and being a whole continent away I had to be alot more involved in the planning than usual which was stressful, fun, and gave me a whole new respect for all the editors I work with!

I had only a handful of days to secure a full glam team for this shoot, as well as for the photoshoot that I had the very next day with The 100 actress Lindsey Morgan, so to say my week was hectic was a bit of an understatement. However, by the grace of the photography gods, I was able to secure a team for each shoot and was ready to create some art with some amazing artists.

My stylist, Shaina Feldman was detrimental to making this shoot successful and truly outdid herself. She showed up with so many beautiful options for Lilia and I play dress up in and what better place to shoot than in a real life dollhouse?

*Funny story about the above photo. I told Lilia to channel Britney Spears vibes circa 2000 for this portion of the shoot because, well.. look at this set up! Lilia looked at me like I was crazy and had NO IDEA what I was talking about. Shaina busted out laughing at me, and had me check my age while she pulled up the Britney archives on you tube for Lilia to watch.

Outfit 7- Hatter

Outfit 8- Blossom

I am beyond blessed to have had the opportunity to work with these ladies and I cant wait to work with them again! Make sure to grab your copy of Saturne Magazine when it releases this fall.

When Arielle Salsa, owner of The Pretty Cult ( www.prettycult.com) messaged me one evening to see if I could shoot an in-home recording session of an all female indie-folk trio band, True Violet, I said yes, with no questions asked. I mean, if Arielle says they're good, then they're good. A week later, I found myself battling the morning Los Angeles traffic to meet up with these badass females for a day of creating.

When I arrived, Arielle and the women of True Violet, Jessie Covets and Kayla and Alyana Miller greeted me with mimosas, laughter and hugs. As I got settled in, Arielle with her clothing line and fancy racks (which Jessie was particularly excited about btw), started getting the girls dressed for their individual and group portraits.

Afterwards, Arielle and I were able to get a behind the scenes look oh how the trio got into their creative process and was given the privilege of witnessing a live recording and jam session.
