Summer Simple

Summer is a time for ponytails, polaroids, fun and easy style choices for teens. This cute one piece romper is by Universal Thread for Target. The camera is a vintage Polaroid "square shooter" a fun land camera that shot with a square format. The "Instagram" of its day!

Most teens could probably get through the entire summer with just a few good tank tops! Minimal make up too, just a little blue eye shadow and mascara and she is good to go! 

It can be hard to find a classic white shirt for your teen age girl but just think outside the box!  This one is from the boys department from the fab kids line Cat & Jack by Target.

California Dreaming

On such a winters day... two fun shoots I did just before leaving SoCal. It just took a few extra groovy fashion finds to pull it all together. Like this amazing 1960s wrap around jumper Milena is wearing by textile innovators Alex Coleman California. You can find some more of their amazing designs for sale here.

Though some of these actual vintage items are not available, I've hunted Etsy for similar options. 1) Chelsea wears a CP Shades slip dress with earrings & necklace by Veronica Rock Studio. 2) Stutz wears a vintage wide lapel coat 3-4) Milena is wearing a 70s handmade dress and a fab vintage fur hat both estate sale finds, boots by Via Spiga 5) Chelsea wears a one-of-kind hand knitted sweater by Veronica Rock Studio over a vintage slip dress. 6) Stutz in a classic black turtleneck from J.Crew 

Martina wears a vintage color block circa 1990s dress by Moschino made in Italy. Martina and Milena are the offspring of my friend 90s Super model Jana Rajlich who provided some of the vintage cloths from her own collection. While Stutz (who plans to go into acting when he finishes high school this year) is the son of another long time friend, amazing hair & make up artist Jetty Stutzman who applied her skills to Milena, Martina and Stutz.

Little Frida

Inspiration can come from unexpected places and this recent shoot was a result of seeing a post on Instagram. I had worked with Keira a few times and it was her Mum's post of these beautiful headbands she made for a Frida Kahlo tribute that gave me the idea. The next day we were collaborating on this wonderful series... yes, sometimes it really is that easy.
