Summer in Winter - Photoshoot (Part One)

We had a full, very busy day yesterday at Joanna Morgan Designs. We started at what seemed like a break of dawn - but really at 8:30 AM - with grey wintry Seattle skies outside. With two collections of jewelry to photograph - Spring/Summer, and new designs for the Signature collection, we had to get cracking! Photoshoots are never a simple affair - with weeks of planning, lining up other professionals, coordinating schedules, and, let's not forget, designing a new collection :) Nevertheless yesterday went smoothly, without a hitch! The energy, creativity, and talent of everyone involved made it happen!

Here is my "dream team": from the left my photographer Amanda Waltman, my hair-stylist Matthew Lawrence, our gorgeous model and the "face" of the latest collection - Natalie, and my make-up artist Liz Kiss. Not pictured here: Bri Seeley, whose fashion was the perfect addition to my vision for the 'shoot.

And here are some behind the scenes takes:

Matt and Natalie - hair time!

Liz getting ready to work her magic

Amanda who always dedicates herself to the task fully - climbing on a stack of phonebooks, getting down on the floor, bending into all possible directions - for the best picture

Summer in Winter Photoshoot Part Two coming soon!
