Welcome back! After a long and rainy summer, season in Miami is upon us and big changes happening. I am now living right in the heart of the action in South Beach and I couldn’t be busier. Models and photographers have returned and Art Basel is right around the corner. Recently I had the pleasure of working with a lovely photographer, Camellia Menard from Paris. We decided to shoot lingerie in a suite in the ultra modern Mondrian Hotel and although our original model was a no show, we were able to get another girl at the last minute. Everything really does happen for a reason because our replacement was amazing! Her skin was perfect I decided to let it show through the makeup. I used a coral crème blush from Bobbi Brown on her cheeks, lips and eyelids. A trick I learned from my granny many years ago. Strong brows really pulled this look together and gave her both a mix of tough-girl and vixen. The models hair was a bit distressed from a recent color change so we decided to go with that texture rather than trying to hide it. I used a small barrel iron to achieve a Hollywood starlet silhouette. The ironic thing is that sometimes I spend hours trying to get this texture but today was a breeze.  In the end the images were dramatic and beautiful.

I also had the pleasure of working with one of my favorite models, Sally Gibbs. We have worked together in Las Vegas and known each other for years and now as luck would have it we have both relocated to Miami. Sally has such a strong face it is hard not to do something edgy and editorial but todat we decided to go a little natural ala Ralph Lauren. The shots are beautiful!
