Hair Salon Competition

We’re collaborating with Paul Kovacevic of the Blue Chair Salon, on images that will be entered into national hairstyling competitions and industry publications. We recently did our first shoot, with a full-on fashion look to go with Paul’s creative color and style!

Actual photos will be available soon, but for now, here’s a shot of the master at work, styling an edgy-yet-versatile short haircut.

retro fashion and a bridal show

It’s been a busy week, with plenty of fun things in the queue! We’re gearing up for a bridal show this Sunday, and one of our partners had a hand in the planning of it: Candice Currier, who does amazing wedding and event planning on even the smallest of budgets. We’ll be showing images from one of our weddings with her soon!

In the meantime, here’s another shot from our editorial-style pinup shoot, featuring designs by Billie Jo Retro. (Model: Amber Renee)

PLUS Model Magazine

Here’s another image from our November 2008 editorial for PLUS Model Magazine, featuring our second model from the spread. I was lucky enough to spot her at a runway casting, and was thrilled to bring her on board for the shoot. She’d booked her fair share of commercial and catalog modeling jobs, but edgy plus-size fashion bookings are hard to come by, so she was excited to broaden her horizons!

Be sure to check out our PLUS Model Magazine editorial. We won’t be posting the other images here, so you’ll have to visit the magazine to see the rest!

Plus model editorial

(We’ve been a bit inspired by NaBloPoMo, or National Blog Posting Month, so we’ll be attempting to post every day for the rest of the month! We may not have time to share with you every single day, and the postings might sometimes be short, but you’ll see plenty of photos… so, enjoy!)

We’re really pleased to be featured in the November 2008 issue of PLUS Model Magazine, for our editorial contribution, “The Edge of Romance.” It took nearly two months of planning, and there were occasional bumps along the way, but it was wonderful working with PLUS, and we’re all very excited about the results!

The spread features clothing by IGIGI, as well as sustainable dresses from Portland-based designer MEWV Sustainables. We also got to bring aboard our recent client, betsy & iya, so you can see more of her amazing designs, while we wait for her new web site to launch.

We’ll fill you in on some of the trials and tribulations on the shoot day, and also share some of our favorite images that weren’t featured in the spread later in the week, but for now, check out the editorial!

Teaser

It seems that we’re full of teaser images, lately. We actually have quite a few projects that are completed, but we’re waiting for website launches, publications, or other clients’ events to occur before we can show the results!

Here’s one that we can give you a peek at, however: an editorial-style pinup shoot, featuring designs by Billie Jo Retro. (Model: Amber Renee)
