Putting together shoots with my sister, Shelina Sewell of Blush Hair and Makeup, is always a sure thing. She not only knows how to perform magic with hair and makeup, but she is extremely talented at organizing and gathering locations and all the necessities needed that make a shoot successful.

A few weekends ago, I was due for some family time. Being that I live in NYC, I try to make it a point to visit my family in Virginia every month or so.  So, while I was down there, my sister and I collaborated and put together a handful of shoots. With the help of our models, contacts for location, and detail and design tips from Shelina’s clients, we undoubtedly had an adventageous weekend for both our businesses.

Our first shoot was with our model, Katie, on a horse farm in the heartland of the open fields of Chesapeake. Shelina wanted to make this look vintage, yet modern and chic. I think she did a phenomenal job at accomplishing this. Hope you enjoy!

Happy Monday!

 Getting to work with horses for the day was amazing. They are brilliant animals and phenomenal models.  

Katie gave me some fierce looks and my camera ate them up…

This stunning gown was provided by the ever- vintage shop, Echos of Time

This horse had one blue eye…he was magnificent…

The farm had handfuls of these positively, adorable mini Australian Shepherds. I wanted to snatch one up, put him in my pocket and take him home with me…

Katie is so gentle with the horses. You can clearly see they trust her and her touch…

As the weather grew colder and the wind picked up, we knew the shoot was coming to an abrupt ending. I grabbed this last shot before we headed back to the barn for shelter…
