Happy New Year!

Building a TEAM to accomplish our DREAMS in 2013!

This is it folks! I really feel like this is the year for me to really focus on my career and doing the things I love.  I’m working extra hard to get myself organized and build a team so we can hit the ground running.

Here’s some of my New Year’s Goals:

Boho Style

Boho, Photography

Last month I styled and coordinated a photo shoot at the Heritage Museum in Santa Ana. The style and theme was Boho so I brought a few things of my own and styled along side some of the model’s wardrobe. Rachel Anson arrived at the shoot location with some additional wardrobe from her lovely designs. I had many excellent photos submitted to me for the PHOTO OF THE DAY CONTEST!! And I must say choosing the winner was extremely difficult, but let’s get to it! I present to you the winner!!

The Enchanted Forest

Tags

Fairy tale, Fashion, Photography, Wardrobe stylist

Once upon a time… there was a fashion stylist who gathered together the fairest models in all the land, dressed them, and stole them away to an enchanted forest where the lenses of a multitude of cameras captured their beauty.

I had an amazing opportunity to style 7 models for a group of photographers at the beautiful Oak Canyon Nature Center in Anaheim Hills. I provided the wardrobe and accessories and worked with the hair and makeup crew to complete the looks. I have enticed the photographers to submit their photos to me in hopes of winning the #1 Photo of the Day, judged by yours truly. I received over 100 enchanting photos from various photographers and it was extremely hard to choose but I kept coming back to this one photo that stole my heart.

THE ENCHANTED FOREST PHOTOSHOOT #1 PHOTO OF THE DAY

Photo By: Jen Zuniga Lighting by: Ezra Zuniga www.135fotografiks.com
Model: Michele Tasiemski
Makeup: Rosannara Chunn
Hair: Elizabeth Tep

I think this photo embodies the theme of the shoot, the lighting is soft and strategically placed, and it perfectly displays the rose detail on this backless dress. I love the angle and the pose. This looks like something out of a luxury magazine with an enchanted forest as the setting. Check out some of the other photos submitted by 135FotoGrafiks.

I’d also like to recognize a few photos that are aslo amazing!

Best Action Shot

Anyone who has ever modeled before knows how hard it is to get a shot like this. It takes being able to jump high and control your body and facial expression, it’s not as easy as it looks so GREAT JOB ROSANNARA CHUNN!

Thank you to everyone who worked so hard on this shoot, there are some really amazing photos from it. I wish I could display all of my favorite ones on here but there simply isn’t enough time in the day.

Alas, I must bid you farewell for now. Until next time, I’ll be living happily ever after…
