From fashion ave to a small town in Conn.. fashion happens here ->

Being a NY child stylist brings me  many smiles and lots of miles on the  " model mobile'.
Last week my adventures took me to a small town in Connecticut  to a old Victorian  Mansion that was definitely " filled with spirits".    I Loved the vibe as I entered this  Eire but magical house, The Chetstone. It was  filled with stories waiting to be told and we were there to tell the story.
I would be styling lots of great kids and working with an amazing creative team  photographer Laurie Tomaszek of  Photogenic Images   along with  the talented  hair and  make up artist Liz Manley

The  preparation that goes into one of our styled shoots takes days, and the wardrobe is  hand picked  and  flown in from all over the world.  I love to see my creative ideas come to life , Like Michelangelo  I become an  artist creating one  master piece at a time, seeing the canvas come to life & this to me is a dream come true ( especially since I cant paint ).

Being a stylist to me  means  making magic out of fashion  and  some how putting the pieces to each little puzzle together as  the creation unfolds.   Showcasing each child with who they are and what they love , as it all comes  to life  through  the lens. 

                                         LIGHTS, CAMERA, COUTURE......... LET THE FASHION BEGIN!

The house was filled with so many magical nooks and cranny's, creepy stair cases  and an attic that was filled with magic:  which  inspired me  for our editorial group shot

 

TUTU'S IN THE ATTIC

Today's models were  perfect as I imagined what little girls dressed up and danced around this magical Attic did back in the day.   You could smell the vintage clothes left in trunks, with trinket's and treasures left from children through  years past.  The walls were that of a story book with rabbits hand painted in a mystical way.
It was a stylist dream and then to add such gorgeous children,  a creative genius Laurie ' T"  to photograph with a splash of make up from Miss Liz , our story unfolded from the walls of the Chetstone to the pages of each child's own personal  fairy tale.........

Styling is creating and making dreams come true with the images that are captured.

                                                 Kendal , Alex and Caleb look great in their stylish  looks 

Over 20 amazing model,lots and lots of couture and the results are something that will be treasured by the children and their parents for years to come.

I love being with all  the kids and I really enjoyed  working with Laurie and Liz, after working hard for two days  we decided we would choose and award a  " super model " shot of the day .  This would be factored in by the over all appeal of the " Look" of the day by  the style, the shot, the way the child performed and the mom's over all cooperation for the day.    Lets me just say that it was a tough  decision  for  the team
 " Styled Con Etiquette"
 to make ,  they are all super models in our  eyes and they are all stars;
The winner will get a free styled shoot at out next themed location and a chance to appear in our editorial group shot.

............... the ' styled super model shot of the day winner"    drum roll........................please ...............

                                                                      WINNER.......
