Alright, so I haven’t updated in a while I know, but school is a week away from being over (HALLELUJAH) which means I’ll have time to get back into the swing of things. One project that I put a lot of love and energy into this semester was the fall editorial for Substance (our campus magazine). We shot this back in October and the experience was crazy. Picture me, a photographer, a model, hair & makeup, and a few others helpers treading through the wilderness with garment bags, equipment,  tables and supplies. I guess for a fashion editor/photographer this would sound like the norm, but for a young college student trying his hand at what could be (will be) his future job…it was an awesome experience.

The editorial is called “Into The Wild” and features special headbands by the lovely Andrea Edwards, modeled by Sabrina Jackson. We just did a holiday accessories show to coordinate with the issue release, pictures should be up very soon.

A special thanks to Aldo P. for always making my ideas look as beautiful as possible. Substance spring 10 here we come!

The day has come! The highly anticipated release of Substance magazine spring 09 is finally here (well, at least I was highly anticipating its release). Being on the magazine as fashion editor this semester was an amazing opportunity and I was lucky to work with so many creative people. Pictured above are the pieces I put together for this issue. If you’re ever on campus make sure to pick up and read all 62 pages of pure glossy glory. 

On the Set: Substance Magazine

So last night we finally shot the fashion photo feature for Substance Magazine. I have to say it was such a great experience, we had such an awesome team and I’m itching to see the final product. You, however, will have to wait to pick up the Spring issue of Substance (and trust me, It’ll be well worth it) :]

Romantic ruffles and a beautiful beaded headband pair perfectly with mimosas and puff pastries in Oldtown Pasadena. What a beautiful Southern California Sunday afternoon.

Sometimes, it’s simply in the details. A subtle windowpane plaid pant and black blazer, yet keeping it fresh with a fun necklace, brooch, and vintage moccasins that would make your grandfather proud (if your grandfather was cool enough to wear these, that is).

Hardly a shrinking violet in this majestic purple cardigan with band detailing and gold buttons. A lovely watercolor color flower print skirt in sherbet colors with tan ballet flats. Spring has most definitely sprung from this chic students wardrobe.
