Halloween with Camille Styles and crew!

I loved this shoot for Camille Style blog. It's a wonderful high styled shoot, inspired on Clue the board game for Halloween. Jennifer Rose Smith concepted and styles this shoot with the help of Loot Vintage Rentals on set design and various lovely ladies behind those killer costumes.  I loved working on this shoot with this team.

I hope your Halloween was fun and safe, and you all got to figure out "who done it?"

Next Up, Thanksgiving, I can hardly wait! I am already getting my table dressing ready to go, with some new plum colored napkins from West Elm and some fresh paint on the dining room walls and TBA chandelier above the table. We have a lot of family headed down here so we're pretty excited.

Old Hollywood Wedding Inspiration Photo Shoot / Austin Wedding Photographer

Several months ago, I got together with two other extremely talented ladies Margaret Bedikian of Three Apples Events and Leah Proctor from Zinnia and Co. to do three completely separate style shoots. We did one in the morning at The Inn At Wild Rose Hall, the afternoon was spent doing this one at Vista on Seward Hill, and the last was done at Barr Mansion (here is a taste of that one). Each of us took our vision and ran with it. The first was a tea party and while we all brought something to the table (so to speak) the real vision came from Margaret. This one, I call it Sinatra, was mine. It was inspired by a Frank Sinatra song and I wanted to give it that dark and dreamy feel. Understated with gold, black and cream, it screams class and sophistication without having to really say it at all. We used place settings, glassware and flatware form Antiquaria's collection. LOVE it! Margaret and I went on a shopping spree to Gilda Grace for some detail touches and re-sale shops for the rest. The candle stick, turned single cream rose bud stand was my favorite. Leah spray painted magnolia leaves in gold for the rich luxurious backdrop for Anitquaria's flatware. Seamless. The golden draped chair ties add drama to Vista on Seward Hill's already dramatic look. Gilda Grace Collections' high fashion wedding collection was perfect and added that final touch to this already drama-laden experience. This is exactly how I imagined it. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did putting it together! You can also find a "how to" on ruffled.com <click>

Eco-Friendly Barr Mansion Wildflower Wedding Inspiration / Austin Wedding Photography

Working in tandem, Barr Mansion, Margaret of Three Apples Event, Leah of Zinnia and Co.,  Steve of HeDesign (for invitations) and I came up with this eco-friendly wildflower fete.

The idea first evolved in a creative meeting with Margaret, Leah and I. We wanted to create three unique looks for three distinctive style shoots. We did all three in the same day starting with The Tea Party at the Inn at Wild Rose Hall, from there the smokey lounge atmosphere of the Vista at Seward Hill and lastly, the bright and airy, eco-friendly shindig at Barr Mansion!

We wanted to follow in the low carbon footprints of Barr Mansion. They take great pride in their organic certification: all the food and cakes prepared by the staff at Barr Mansion are certified organic. They also often use spices from the garden on the grounds, therefore they boast the largest organic ornamental garden in the country. Leah sources all of the wildflowers and budding basil from local flower markets saving emissions and the environment. All of the flower vessels are found and re-used containers. Margaret and myself scoured local thrift stores for creatively mismatched glassware, china and flatware. We even found a charming red cake stand with hearts all over it, perfect for our re-use style shoot.  Margaret found the Marilyn-style halter dress and the yellow heels - they had some trouble but only cost seven bucks! We removed the trouble areas from the shoes and added buttons in the color of the other accessories, perfect!

Do you want to host a delightful soiree and not leave much behind?  Take a tip or two from Delilah's spring time nuptials.

Corrine test - Austin Photographer

I have been working on updating my commercial portfolio, as you may already know. My commercial side was very successful but She-N-He was an instant wild success so, inevitably,  our commercial work has fallen by the way side. I REALLY enjoy the work and even without redoing our portfolio or otherwise promoting we are still getting some work. Thank goodness for on-going promotions like ComArts in 2006 (I get a lot of hits from that), and obviously, returning clients. This fall (commercial's busy time), I am going to relaunch my website and really start promoting this work again. Photography is my passion and I find that if I have a hand in a few pots I enjoy shooting everything better.  This is a test I completed with the help of Kaylin Johnson (make-up), Angela Parker (LucieMarie) hair, Dress Shop (wardrobe), and obviously the lovely Corrine, our model. It took a little while to get these done but it was a foray in elaborate retouching. I have been staring at this location for, literally, years. I wanted it to look a certain way and it does, now. Please enjoy, I can't wait to hear what you think.
