Wardobe for the shoot. Furocious!

Astrid has fantastic icy blue eyes.

Onward march!


Me texting in the corner. Normally I do jumping jacks on shoots though. 

Photographer Don Loyaga and I have been meaning to do a shoot together, so when he informed me last Sunday he was leaving to the Philippines and had three days before leaving to get this show on the road I couldn't really procrastinate any longer. I now know I can pull enough clothing and create a concept for a shoot in 24 hours given enough flexibility. This shoot had 5 looks to be exact. I still have to return some of the clothing (my least favorite part of styling).

This shoot was for upcoming Calgary fashion magazine Magnolia. It will be used in promotion and media kits. It's great to know my work will be used towards helping launch a fashionable initiative locally. There are a great many of us here pioneering the fashion industry in Calgary and I feel really grateful being one of them.
