This year I decided to try something new with our photo shoots and do something a little more "editorial". I've loved reading fashion magazines since I was a girl (I used to ask my mom to buy Vogue at the checkout line) but lately I haven't been feeling the love the way I used to. Maybe it is because there is very little for me in these "high fashion" magazines. Don't get me wrong, I think that all the attention so-called "plus size" models (usually a size 8 or 10) are getting in the media lately is great. We need more diverse images of beauty out there in the universe. It is all good. But what about some editorial-style pictures of clothes that I can actually buy? Where are those? So I thought, what the heck, I'd create them myself!
So here they are - I'd love to know what you think.
With a fabulous team - model Britt (a stunning size 14), photographer Adam & his assistant Lelania, hair & makeup artist Lori, videographer Michael, stylists Maddie & Isabella (my nieces!), my new right-hand woman Steph, and last but not least my amazing husband (I can't list all the things he does!) - I think we created some amazing shots! Many thanks to Mirjana, Stella & Dot stylist, for loaning us most of the fabulous jewellery in the shots.
By the way, all of these pictures were shot at our house - in our living room, the back parking pad (on my husband's Vespa) and on our front porch!
