A Fisher's Delight

Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky at morning, sailor's warning. Well, I cannot recall if the sky was in fact red that morning, but it sure did kick up a storm by afternoon. I could only shoot one ensemble because of this. However, the weather did give the photos a certain sea-fareing mood. I do think I brought home a good catch for the day even with the weather. Mika seemed very at home by the sea; perhaps it was her biology background. I chose an oversized loose knit sweater to resemble a fishing net 

and Jenna twisted Mika's hair into a perfect fish-bone plait. 

I applied heavy silver and blue eyeshadow to elicit shiny scales and highlighted Mika's cheeks with a flash of red--the color a salmon turns during spawning season.

Wrap It Up

Wrap It Up

There was a slight chill in the air the day I dreamt up this photo shoot. 

 I had recently revisited the Pre-Fall 2011 collections and fell 

in love all over again with Diane Von Furstenburg.  

All I wanted was to wear a wrap dress and a turtleneck! 

Unfortunately, the day of the shoot was not turtleneck weather,

 but Madison toughed it out like a pro. 

I tied a scarf like a turban (as best I could) for a slightly sultry look on Rachelle.

When thinking of the beach and the ocean two things immediately come to mind: sailors and color (the first one normally lingers for a while).  These were my inspirations for this shoot.  In keeping with the trends of the season, I also infused a few '70s inspired looks.

Bringing a wee bit o' Sass to the Green

Photographed By Rachelle Stein-Wotten

For this shoot I decided to go in front of the camera and have my sister who is normally my photo assistant (what else is family for?) take the photos.  I think she did a fabulous job. 

My initial inspiration was this awesome striped polo. Polo=Preppy. Preppy =Golf. Natural conclusion was a golf shoot. 

I wanted to stay fairly classic golf attire, but throw in a little something unexpected. Hence the feather and lace chapeau.  

I don't know if we'll be seeing this look anytime soon at the Masters, but I felt like a pro in the making. I even took a few practice swings!
