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!
