Behind the Scenes with Singer/ Songwriter Sarah Silva

Judging by Sarah Silva’s Instagram account the young singer/songwriter has the sweetest personality and so naturally I wanted to go the complete opposite direction for the styling of this shoot. After all the photos are going into a Fall editorial slated to be released just before Halloween so why not bring a new version of Sarah to life? I came up with an edgy 1920s Victorian doll styled shoot with my all star team Juel Bergholm on Makeup, Rolando Aqui on Hair Styling and his lovely wife Amia Aqui on wardrobe.

These are the moodboards I created for my team to be inspired before our shoot with Sarah. Too see more of my moodboards and inspo check out my Pintrest https://www.pinterest.com/heatherkoepp7/

GETTING READY

Sarah Silva and her folks met up with my team and I at the cutest little black box theater in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles called the Skiptown Playhouse https://www.skiptownplayhouse.com/ for our four hour long photo shoot. The team got started prepping right away while I started setting up lights!

I met up with Kevin Quinn on his last day in Los Angeles, before the talented actor, singer and dancer was off to Nashville to start the filming of a musical film featuring costar Bailee Madison. We met at a very cool rustic garage in downtown Los Angeles where we spent three hours creating an exclusive photo series for the cover of Saturne Magazine’s Fall 2019 Edition.

Every product in our boxes will be vegan, palm oil-free, and made by companies that are 100% cruelty-free.
We’re all about creating positive change in the world, and so we’ll be donating a portion of proceeds to our favorite animal rights groups. For the month of January, we’re donating to the LA County Animal Care Foundation in appreciation of the life-saving work they did during the CA wildfires. On top of that, we’re proud to say our packaging is made from 100% recycled and eco-friendly materials (even the ink used to print the logo is soy-based, not made from petroleum).

OUTSTANDING FOODS:
Having taken the risk 3+ years ago, Outstanding Foods is Daniella Monet’s first significant investment. With lead investor Rob Dyrdek, and a countless number of strategic influencers, actors, and athletes as investors, Outstanding Foods has been able to create a mushroom chip that not only emulates BACON, but will help people eat healthier while saving the lives of piggies! Our Pig Out Chips have become a viral product via social and was recently named Whole Foods Market’s Top 10 Trends for 2019.

Behind the Scenes: Froy for Saturne Magazine

FROY GUTIERREZ

This shoot with actor and musician Froy was a special one; not only because we had an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL house to work in, but because I was also able to bring my momma to work with me! She has never seen me “in my element” before so it was THE BEST feeling ever to finally be able to bring her on set while she was in town visiting! And what a shoot it turned out to be, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better talent or team!

Froy was absolutely AMAZING to work with and I had my go-to gals on set Hali McGowan on grooming and Gabriela Tena knocking out the styles. Check out the collection of Behind the Scenes photos below!

BTS with Meg Donnelly for Grumpy Magazine

Some photoshoots you are given the luxury of spending several hours with a talent, while others you have just a brief moment to connect and get the images you want. I had an hour to work with Meg and I have learned in this industry to work fast. We were able to do four looks in the time that we had together.

She is truly an amazing talent and was so wonderful to work with. Here is some fun behind the scenes images from our shoot to tide you over until the series is released next month for Grumpy Magazine!

Behind the Scenes with Madison Iseman for Saturne Magazine

It takes a village to make any great project come together and luckily I have the best tribe around. Planning this shoot with actress Madison Iseman was so fun and I just knew it was going to be a killer day when it all came together.

I met Madison and her glam team at 10:30 am on Tuesday Sept 18th along with my wonderful stylist Shaina Feldman. Everyone got settled in for the two hours we had reserved and I was determined in getting 6 looks done in that time frame.

As usual, Shaina knocked it out of the park with her brilliant and unique looks which was so different to the space but somehow worked wonderfully. Madison and I were beyond excited to play around with the variety of vintage Versace, sequin shorts and faux furs.

The studio had so many awesome little sections to work with and I decided to start on the left side and work my way around to the windows ( praying the sunlight would shift by the time I got there because Holy Bright Light Batman!)

The first section was new to the studio and I was excited to break it in. We got Madison dolled up in this fabulous dress that looked like it was made for her! Just look at this angel!

Look 1: Angel Wing

Look 2: Breakfast Club

The second look was so fun and the blue just complimented Madison so so well!

Look Three: Sully

This faux fur jacket had everyone in heart eyes and it was tenderly dubbed as ‘Sully’.

Outfit 4: Daisy

This outfit was so cute and was giving me all those retro vibes in this space!

Look 5: Crosley and Versace

This was my personal favorite look of the day and it probably reflects in how many images I have from this portion of the photo shoot haha

Look 6: Canary

And our final look for the day <3 Madison look absolutely amazing in everything and was so easy to work with.

Im so proud of this series and cannot wait for you all to see the full gallery and publication when its released later this month.

Rogue Magazine Party at Madame Siams

Living in Hollywood and being a creative is truly a blessing. The opportunities here are endless and I am always striving to find new adventures to tackle. I agreed to photograph a really cool event for Rogue Magazine in honor of their summer issue release. I had been looking forward to it for days and then tragedy struck. My camera plunged to its death and having no back up I resorted to buying a used one from a local photographer for $1100 bucks. Darn thing turns out to have a heat sync issue which caused all the images to have a green tint to them. I had no choice but to use the camera for this event and boy was I faking it to make it.

As you can see, the images produced out of the camera were just terrible! Thank god for editing am I right?

The actress in the images Caylee Cowan and I ended up hitting it off so we maaaaay have a super special one-on-one photo shoot in the works....stay tuned!

TMZ was outside for most of the evening as well as a few select networks, however I was only one of two photographers allowed into the exclusive vip areas here are some of the inside exlusives.

BTS of On The Move Mag: Samm Henshaw at Epic Records Sony Studios

Life has been so crazy and I have been slacking on keeping everyone updated on what Ive been up to and for that I apologize. Over the past few weeks my life consisted of planning editorial shoots, shooting rock concerts, an amazing nude art series, broken cameras (yes plural), a fancy Hollywood party, a new puppy, and multiple artist shoots. So as you can see I havent had time to breathe let alone blog but things have slowed down( for now) and I cannot wait to start updating you all on my summer adventures.

At the start of July I was contacted by the editor of On the Move Mag, Pam Charbit to see if I'd be interested in doing another shoot for their publication. It had been almost a year since our shoot with actor Keiynan Lonsdale, so I was excited to be able to work with their team again. This time we were invited to Sony Studios Productions to meet with Epic Records newest signed artist Samm Henshaw.

We were given the rooftop area to shoot which was pretty drab to be honest. Think studio lot, so square tan buildings, bright California sun, and faded outdoor furniture. We were able to get some nice images but there was only so much I could do in such a limited space.

We shot for maybe five minutes before I decided to switch directions. I ecieded to let Pam conduct her interview, while Samm's publicist and I went off in search of a location inside the building.

Luckily, once inside I was able to find all sorts of inspiration. There was one location where they conduct meetings. It was a large open room with wooden risers and under the risers were these great track lights, that with a prism and bam, magic!

Samm was just the sweetest person to work with and I know his music career is going to explode! The photos and interview will be released in the September issue of On the Move! Check back to see the exclusive images and full gallery soon
