Yacht Shoot for Exotic Adventure & Travel Magazine



I recently styled along with the Couture House Los Angeles for a centerfold in upcoming Winter 2009/2010 issue of Exotic Adventure & Travel Magazine. The mood and concept of this shoot was about a group of fabulously successful young professionals taking off for an excursion to Catalina for their very own Mediterranean escape on a beautiful 82 foot Sun seeker yacht.
We used a Yacht docked down at Newport Harbor called "Blue Steel" and took it out for photos (which were taken by Efren Beltran, www.efrenbeltran.com). The models used were reped by Sillis Agency..oh they were lovely with a very classic look. We kept the wardrobe very upscale and timless using design's from Maria Bianca Nero, Nina Austin, Betinnis, Alberto Makali, Vikki Lyns, Duncan Quinn, and Banana Republic. Audra & Sean took care of the fabulouse updos and are represented by Studio DNA (

Behind the Scenes Shoot for Exotic Adventure & Travel Magazine



This past week I styled under Devon Poer owner of the Couture House Los Angeles for the centerfold of the winter issue of Exotic Adventure & Travel Magazine. As far as the theme of the shoot went, we were trying to capture the essence of a young rich, sophisticated couple on a getaway vacation in the hills of Orange County. To capture this what better place to shoot other then The Orange County Mansion. When we finally arrived at the home after our 10 minute drive up the never ending rocky road, my jaw dropped and I was speechless. This house was beyond ridiculous! A circle driveway with a fountain and two huge lion statues greeted me as we walked into the house. This home I can't even start describing (it would take to long)..all I can say is EVERY piece of furniture in the home was...Versace. Anyways...we used two sexy models Tenley & Robert from Ford, awesome make-up artist Kimberlee Barlow ( Kimberlee Barlow.com) and hair stylist Daven Mayeda ( Daven Mayeda.com). Some wardrobe was pulled from L.A.'s showroom Chic Little Devil but most of the clothing in the shoot was designed from Project Runway's Finalist Jerell Scott ( Jerell Scottdesign.com) The long and tiring shoot went on from 12pm to about 9pm but it was all worth it, you can get a copy of the shoot in Exotic Adventure and Travel Magazine coming out this October at a Borders or Barns & Nobles near you;)

L.M.A.O. PILOT


So this week I styled a hilarious pilot (can't release the name yet!!) with an awesome & hard hitting cast, crew, and director. Most of our cast starred in the the TBS Show "10 Items or Less" ;). This was the second pilot I have styled and I am loooving it! The characters consisted of three guys and a chick all with very different personalities and styles.


Make-up was provided by first an amazing artist, Belinda Pan under Polaris Cosmetics you can check out their company website at www.polariscosmetics.com. We also had a freelance make up artist aka Sarah Michael, who came to L.A. all the way from San Fran to help out! You can check out her work at http://www.modelmayhem.com/1075651. The 15 hr shooting days were intense but everyone made it fly by! Here are some pics from the pilot. I cant wait to put up the 30 min demo..your gonna laugh your ass off!
