On location in Florida….so fortunate to shoot an event styled by PALM SPRINGS EVENT PLANNER, Shari Kelley http://www.sharikelleyevents.com/. It’s inspiring to watch such a creative maven work her magic. Truly an artist, a meticulous marvel…Shari raises the bar for all things beautiful.

Props for fabulous styling by my art curator client turned stylist Ginger. Ginger effortlessly constructed a castle out of cardboard, dressed the girls in colorful frocks by Crewcuts, broke open her endless supply of crafts and we were set to shoot.  As always, favorite shots are unrehearsed and casual capturing impromptu moments and subtle nuances.  Of course I’m always there to mingle with clients and make suggestions – in this case one of my favorite shots came from a request to turn on some tunes, and a “challenge” to my client’s daughter to show me her best dance moves.

New clients often ask…what should we do on our shoot and what should we wear?   Wear clothes that are an expression of your style, ones that are comfortable and make you feel great.  As for what to do on our shoot…be patient…let moments happen, relax and have fun!
