Kaylee on the Quay

Here are a few shots from a photoshoot I styled. I had the opportunity to collaborate with an awesome team of people.

Sarah in the Abandoned House

This shoot was really fun. We shot in an abandoned house in New Westminster which was totally creepy. It was disgusting and dirty and messy in there yet somehow the photos turned out almost pristine? It was a weird outcome but the model was beautiful, the clothes were totally glam (if I do say so myself) and I loved the hair and makeup.

Jaime at Capilano

Here is a shoot I styled last month at Capilano College. It was a really great day; the weather was perfect (not too cold, not warm enough for the model's makeup to melt away, not too humid that her hair got frizzy...fashion shoots have many variables) and halfway through, the sun even came out. Shooting in North Van was beautiful and you could see the whole city below as well as the water and the beautiful bridges.

Melita In the Sand Dunes

These are some images from a shoot I styled a while ago. This shoot was a crazy experience; the "sand dunes" you see are actually huge hills of sand on a construction site (which apparently has public access). I was unfortunately SO windy and SO hot that day so the makeup artist was a wreck. I was also a wreck about the clothes getting ruined but they were luckily fine! I couldn't get into the shower soon enough after this shoot, it wasn't nice sand that you find at the beach, it was really dusty, fine sand that caked on my feet and clothes and hair.

Crop-top from Guess, Shorts from H&M, Boots from Forever 21, Turban is my own from Urban Outfitters a long time ago.

Military shoot

I recently styled a military-inspired shoot with the lovely Melita at Richard's Model Management, photographer Kevin Kinisky, and makeup artist LucyAnne.

I can't post the images here yet, they have to go through the agency first, but I can show you our inspiration for the outfits!







I can't wait to post the final images, it was a really fun shoot and we shot at the coolest location.

Mannequin shoot

Here's a shoot I styled along with a few people in my class, using mannequins for models. Mannequins make great models because their skin is perfect and they don't have attitude. Just kidding. The pink jacket is actually mine, it's Moschino Chap & Chic and I found it at Salvation Army for $4.00! It's one of my favourite thrift finds and punches up any outfit. I love wearing it with a leopard print blouse underneath because it's just a LITTLE too much. Also mine: the sunglasses in the last one, the leopard scarf. Did I mention I dig leopard? Yeah? Okay, here are the pictures!

pulp fiction shoot

Here's a photoshoot I styled using the wonderful Megan as my model. It was my final submission for my Styling class where the theme was "Oscar Winners". Pulp Fiction didn't actually win Best Picture but it won Best Screenplay AND it's pretty damn cool so that explains my choice. Uma Thurman was just the ultimate vixen in that movie. We shot this at Frenchie's Diner/Montreal Smoked meet in Vancouver. The owner Michel was super helpful in letting us use this perfect 50's style diner. Here is the end result:

I added the cigarette smoke in photoshop which was painstaking but worth it, I think it gives it a really cool comic-book effect.

menswear shoot

This is a shoot I did using my boyfriend Stu as a model. We had to style our shoot based around this Nicole Miller black paisley textured tie, then create a full page ad for it. I wanted my shoot to be an outdoors, GQ style shoot. I think Stu did really well and looks amazing. Here are some of the pictures I used for inspiration:



here is the finished product:


and here are a few shots I didn't end up using but still really like:
