Behind the Scenes: Northern Virginia Magazine Shoot

In late January, Katherine and I participated in a super-cool spring fashion shoot for Northern Virginia Magazine. The shoot was such an amazing experience - we learned a ton, and had so much fun! We worked alongside Spicy Candy DC, The President Wears Prada, DC Alejandra, Sebastian from SMf0t0, and the crew from NOVA mag.

We pulled clothing and accessories from local boutiques, Pretty People Vintage, Periwinkle, Current, La Petite Marmoset and Shoe Hive to style during the shoot.

Considering we were showcasing spring fashions, we planned to shoot outside at this beautiful farm house -- only this is what it looked like outside the day of our shoot:

And this was the only bloom we could find.....it was fake:

so...we had to compromise...

 Marshall from TPWP is a genius photographer and was able to shoot us in different locations inside the beautiful house using only natural lighting

I'm so honored to be a part of such an amazing team, and I cannot thank everyone enough for including me :) It's so cool to be a part of something that recognizes local talent and fashion!!

Here is the cover page of our spread:

You'll have to pick up a copy of the magazine to see the rest :) :)
