Spring It On

Word on the street is that spring has arrived.  I haven't quite seen it be true yet here in southern California, but that hasn't stopped me from lusting after all the new spring lines coming out.  Case in point....the new Molly G Handbags collection. It's perfect for spring, full of soft hues, including the prettiest pink.  I was fortunate enough to put this shoot together for Molly with an amazing team!

Photographer, Taryn Kent // Creative Director, Molly G // Styling and Shoot Direction, Sarah Kensell // Beauty, 1011 Makeup // Models, Jordan Rebello (LA Models) & Britt Rafuson (newMark Models)

Here are a few of the photos from the spring lookbook. We actually shot a lookbook for fall 17 too, but I'm a little late to the party about posting those...I'll throw a few of my favs in from that shoot too though 'cause I love them :)

Larger 

Than 

Life

Wyeth Eyewear Billboards

Sure feels good to see the final product of my work, whether it be on the world wide web, television, or printed in a catalog.  It feels even better when its begin spotted even larger then life on the side of buildings all over NYC and even in LA too.  Do yourself a favor and get a pair of Wyeth sunnies because they are ahhhh-mazing.  You may have already seen the image above around town, but here are some more of my favs from the shoot I styled with Wyeth Eyewear.

But first....here are a few snap shots of the billboards around town:

Asha Patel Designs

I love jewelry with meaning and Asha Patel Designs does that so well.  Not only are the pieces beautiful and so easy to wear everyday, but you can find an emotional connection to them though the designs and the stones as well.  

This is why I think it’s so important to bring emotion into the imagery we create for her.  We want the viewer to feel a connection to the model and the jewelry by capturing authentic moments.  We had such a great team on this shoot and we were able to achieve that authenticity while also showing off the beauty of Asha’s designs.  

I’m excited to share some of my favorite images from the shoot!

Marrow Fine Blew My Mind

Fine jewelry, vintage clothes, and a pot bellied pig are just a few of the things that made this shoot for Marrow Fine Jewelry such dream to be a part of.  Jillian, the owner of Marrow Fine, had an amazing vision for what she wanted for this shoot and it made my job so effortless, because I couldn't have agreed more with her creative direction.  I pulled lots of vintage and gucci-esque pieces and mixed those with a Stevie Nicks bridal vibe.  We had a killer team to top the whole thing off!  So grateful to be a part of this project and so thrilled with the results.

Fashion Week SS18 Recap

It may have felt a lot more like Fall this past September in New York, but spring was definitely in the air for the Fashion Week Spring/Summer 18 shows.  I had the privilege of attending some amazing shows and presentations this season with my friend and colleague Rocky Barnes and here is my two cents on the trends I observed.  Many of the trends coming this next spring can be modified and layered up in a way to be worn this fall, so I don't plan on letting the inspiration pass me by and nor should you.
