Even though I’ve been styling and dressing women for years, it’s still a thrill for my 23 year-old daughter to call me up and say, “Mom! I need your help for my photo shoot!”
Kara is a dancer and needed some new photos for her portfolio. We had a bizarre mother-daughter moment when we each (out of the blue) confessed that we loved Beyonce’s new 1960′s-inspired music video and thought that it would be the perfect inspiration for the shoot. Weird, inexplicable mother-daughter telepathy…
Anyway, I immediately got to work, pulling my A-Team together. Since Kara would be flying from her home in New York to Santa Fe for the shoot, I knew I had to work some magic for the shoot to be hip enough for the New York scene. I enlisted Daniel Nadelbach, a renown Santa Fe-an photographer with an eye for high fashion; Joseph Charles, an extremely talented local makeup-artist; Willow Rose Adams, my amazing hair stylist; and Goler, the local and sophisticated retailer of shoes and clothing.
Everything was set and the shoot was so much fun. Thank you to Daniel, Joseph, Willow and Goler for providing fabulousness. Please enjoy a few of the pictures!
Anyone having the summer doldrums, need a pick me up with my wardrobe feeling? Head on down to Buffalo Exchange, a hip vintage store in Albuquerque. For under $30, you can find something fun and new to spice up your summer look, like a fun pair of yellow patent leather pumps for $25 or a retro 80’s Madonna look.
