behind the scenes with free people

i just got back from styling free people's april 2012 catalog and wanted to share some of the behind the scene photos with you! we shot with up and coming photographer, thomas northcut, and headed to the desert of joshua tree. i loved working with all of the models on this shoot. it was an amazing one week experience.

here's what i brought... lots of layers, floral sunglasses, comfy docs for running around, and a book to read during the plane rides.

we stayed in palm springs and then headed to the desert every morning

december catalog behind the scenes

after a day of travel and a day of scouting we fell sound asleep in the black night. when morning came we woke to the most beautiful view from atop our villa in pyrgos, the highest point of santorini.

villa views...




meals were prepared daily by our personal chef who made the most savory greek food.


this is what my room looked like. clothes were piled and hung below while i slept on the loft space above.


scenes from the two days we spent shooting... mona johannesson, who is super sweet, modeled our clothes and enric galceran shot the catalog.






look out for free people's december catalog and let me know what you think. until then, the october catalog is about to drop!!! you probably remember me talking about it here.

beautiful philadelphia work space

i had the opportunity to work with photographer, chrissy piper, again this weekend. we first collaborated on free people's december '10 catalog in utah and now for an album cover for a new musician. i styled the shoot and managed to get many photos of our work space.
