Designing Women

Domino featured this very talented stylist, Chelsea Fuss. She has her own blog called {frolic!} that is really quite clever. If you enjoy inventive and beautiful photo styling you'll like her portfolio.

I enjoyed her pics of women so much that I decided to include 2 pics of my Grandmother. The first one in her very stylish suit and the other holding the hand of my mother and Uncle "Buzz." It's strange how much the photo of my mom looks like photos of my daughter at this age.

Venetian Vignette

I love staging vignettes for photos. The kitchen sink is copper and I think the Venetian bronze faucets are from Delta. All the accessories except the fresh fruit belonged to the client. I think it's important to pull from the owner's cache. It can reflect the energy and personality of the home with the added benefit appearing organic and genuine.

GerryEfinger was the photographer on this shoot. He's great, fast and furious and full of stories. I have enjoyed working with him on all our portfolio pieces.
