Leanne Marshall S/S 2012 Collection

Say What? That’s right! Full Access to the Leanne Marshall runway show. Leanne was the winner of Season 5 of Project Runway aaaaaaaaaaaaand grew up in…..Yuba City! Woot, Woot! This is her 6th season showing at New York Fashion Week and we were super stoked to photograph the event.

The scene: Heather Mills Event Space

Hair and Makeup provided by Aveda

The fish bone braid is trending! Hair was done up in messy fish bone braid updos.

What a marvel Leanne is! Calmly attending to some last minute touch ups as chaos surrounds her…

Gracious Nathan – Leanne’s right hand man, helping fit shoes

We had one photographer look at us funny as we photographed the swag bags. Seriously dude? It’s all in the details…

Previous designers from Project Runway show up to support Leanne. Suede (Season 5), Carol Hannah (S6), Michael(S8), Mila (S7), A.J.(S8), Kristin(S8) and Ben (S7)

Here is a look at Leanne’s eco-friendly Spring/Summer 2012 Collection. Her use of bamboo jersey, organic cotton, traditional silk and hemp silk architecturally sculpted made for some serious eye candy! Dreamy hues of ivory, lavender blue and yellow billowed on the runway before us. Critics are calling it “youthful elegance” and “girlish sophistication”.

Our work here is done! Thank you Leanne and Nathan!

MBFW – September 10, 2011

Saturday was an amazing day! Most of our time was spent at an off site show where we had backstage passes (you’ll have to wait and see who in an upcoming post!) and back at the tents Jenn chatted up a pretty buff vampire. Oh, and Dre had peas for the first time (gag!).

portraiture

the N family

This session took almost a year to happen! Talk about a lot of bad timing. And even still little Gavin was not feeling top shelf. He hides it well though right?! I love the connection this little family has. So relaxed and sweet on each other. Another beautiful family to photograph. How do I get so lucky?!

The comb over edition:

With New York Fashion week soon approaching I needed to do something to feel inspired….both fashion wise and camera wise. With Dre as my muse (I mean…that hair is just WAITING to be styled!)–check out what we came up with!
