Models Kym Laird and Maggie Tehan, styled by me, wearing Amanda Casarez Designs. Make up by Elissa Bettencourt. Shot by photographers Marcus Carter and Thurston Willis.
Whenever I style and direct photo shoots, the goal is to take the images and concepts that sit in my brain every day and put them in front of a camera. The fact that I know talented creatives who want to help me make my imagination come to life, is truly one of the biggest blessings in my career.
The Concept
If I’m not with a private client or on set, I’m at home with my family. Home life is much more relaxed and lets admit, not as glam. Whether it be doing laundry, talking on the phone, putting on my makeup or just vegging out on the couch, my mind is always on fashion and the next photo shoot. I imagine models in edgy clothes, beautiful makeup and think about capturing a stunning image. As much as I think of myself as a fashion stylist, I guess I can also be considered an artist. Using clothes, models, make up, and photography to express my artistic vision.
A peak inside my imagination.
I look through these images and pinch myself. I am unbelievably lucky to have this entire team of creatives believe in my vision and trust me with my artistic direction. To Kym, Maggie, Elissa, Amanda, Marcus and Thurston, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your time, your patience, your professionalism, your talent and your creative souls. My imagination came to life because of you! Wishing you all much health, happiness and success!
