Louise: Portrait
Date: 07/25/2014
Model: Louise Woods
Most of the final selection images from this shoot will be landscape-format shots. However, it was a pleasure to shoot portraits of Louise, and this one is a favorite of everyone across the board for her arresting expression.

Louise: Golden Girl

Model: Louise Woods
While most of the promotional images will feature a lot more "face to face" contact with the models, the glowing shades of gold and red in Louise's hair, lips, and jewelry make this a striking fashion-esque image.

The slightly desaturated treatment of this shot looks like it lives on the page of a fashion magazine.

Most of the promotional images will feature a lot more "face to face" contact with the models, but this "hair" shot is a striking image, presented here with a subtle artistic filter effect based upon the original gold tones of Louise's hair and makeup.

Focus on the glass pendant from the Grace Beads summer collection, with matching earrings.
Selective saturation with pastel colors, reminiscent of old-style hand-painted b/w photos. This is the reverse process, however: desaturating all but the selected areas of an image shot in color.

Allison: 3/4
Date: 07/25/2014
Model: Allison Bachman Okihiro
To show detail of the jewelry, most of the promotional images are framed no further than down to the waist. I took just a few longer shots of Allison, enjoying the slim, flowing lines of her classic-styled dress.
I gave this image a minor boost to the red tones for a slight vintage look.

Cristina: Bee Happy

Model: Cristina Garcia
Bee pendant, from the Grace Beads 2014 summer collection.
While most of the catalog photos intentionally keep a more serious look, we could not turn bear to discourage the beautiful smile Cristina had when she walked on set.

Allison: Saturday Evening Post
Date: 07/25/2014
Model: Allison Bachman Okihiro
No actual association with Norman Rockwell, of course, but with a little bit of red/yellow toning, this pretty shot looks like it could come right out of that era.
Taken while Allison was making an adjustment to the bracelet, this one is an outtake due to her raised arms completely obscuring the necklace she's wearing, which is a major element in the ensemble being presented for this set.

Cristina: Happy Dance
Date: 07/25/2014
Lots of banter and old anecdotes were flying as Cristina walked on set with a big smile and a few dance steps!
Louise: Phantom Hands
Date: 07/25/2014
I believe that is Allison back there, visible only as disembodied hands adjusting the necklace Louise is wearing. Louise is 6' tall, so any of the rest of us would similarly completely disappear behind her!
Cristina: Phantom Hands
Date: 07/25/2014
Wait, there's one hand too many in this shot! That would be Allison, making jewelry adjustments on Cristina.
On-set styling adjustments can make for some great outtake shots, since everything looks so clean and polished except the extra hands reaching in!

Louise: Spider Arms
Date: 07/25/2014
Allison, barely visible but for her "extra" pair of arms, adjusting the clasp of Louise's necklace.
Candid: Brush Bra
Date: 07/25/2014
Stylist Cristina Garcia tames down some of Allison's flyaway hairs. And gives everyone great amusement by temporarily tucking the hair brush into Allison's cleavage.
These two are longtime friends, so they can get away with doing things like this!
