I have always wanted to do a snow shoot. A month ago while in Wisconsin, I was -this- close to getting one done… but Kay’s sister bailed out because… well because it was 12 degrees out. =/ So we left frigid Wisconsin with nothing more than a picture of me showing cheese-head country what I thought of it. Maybe next year I figured.
Then came the winter rain storms of southern California. All the rain last week made me think of the possibilities at the ski resorts nearby. And that’s all it took… we were off to our very first snow shoot, what I later dubbed: Ice Queen and Snow Leopard! Ice Queen is the perfect representation of the kinds of looks I was getting for the hour and a half we were there. I guess freezing their butts off warranted the cold glares I was getting. ;p
It was certainly a challenge shooting in 32 degree temperature. The frigid wind chill, the falling snow… we had to brave the weather, all at the same time trying to protect the gear! But, you know what? Strangely enough.. we had fun up there. It was a learning experience, and as soon as we thawed out we were done, we already had ideas on how to improve the next time we shoot in extreme conditions.
Here are some of the photos. Let us know what you think below. Was it worth it? Would you sit in the windy, falling snow for an hour? If so, we’d love to schedule a shoot with you =)
Red carpet fashion at the 16th Annual SAG Awards
Yay, I finally got around to doing my SAG Awards fashion post! At the Golden Globes we saw a ton of sexy but lackluster black dresses so fortunately for this event they lightened up the mood -but not the color spectrum! There were lively shades of red and purple and everything in between. Bare necks gave way for dresses to shine on their own and for us accessory lovers we lucked out because there was still plenty of dazzling trinkets (even worn in the hair!) to keep us thoroughly engaged. I love me some pretty junk!
This time around there was a little something for everyone it seemed; a variety of dresses ranging from soft and flowy to sparkly and embellished to patterned fabrics. One of my absolute favorites was Mariana Klaveno in a fabulous red ruffled chiffon gown by L.A. designer Ina Soltani. It made her skin just glow! She looked breathtaking and a bit like Snow White..or how I imagine she’d look like at least. =d I am also in love with Vera Farmiga in her pretty pale blue J.Mendel dress! This designer is one to watch, I adore his work!
Let’s get the show started, enjoy the MEGA dress pictures below and let me know which dress(es) you fell over yourself for! =d My next fashion post will be on the 2010 Grammys so check back for it!
