Up then You're Down.

You've seen my super chic, superfly model friend, Stephanie Kendall many a-time here - most recently strutting her stuff, all glammed UP on a runway in Indianapolis.

About a month ago i gave you a glimpse of her beau's shoot with me {featuring Diablo} and, as promised before, finally have a few of her shots. :)

It's funny to me because this post is OH-SO different from my last - can you tell i like to mix it up?

Steph is a grand-tastic model because she has RANGE - previous posts i've done with her have gone from somber to sexy, saintly to silly ... I'm not quite sure how to describe this shoot, but the first word that pops to mind is VAMPY - as a compliment, of course! ;)
I'd call this a boudoir shoot and she brought IT, as usual - wee!

Happy 1st day of June! There's more where these came from, so stay tuned {they won't disappoint}.

Don't be blue {in the next she's purple}.



She has a lovely profile, eh?


THIS is why i deemed her VAMPY in this excerpt ... still a knockout, whatever look or character she takes on.


UP! {she's random - in a GREAT way - hence the title of this bloggy post}


DOWN.


Pop art Steph.

the pretty in pink shoot

hello ladies and gentlemen,


allow me to introduce you to my good friend, stephanie {yes, from previous bloggies :) }, as her alter ego - which i'll call "Gigi," in my silly bubble gum pink wig.

this shoot was a blast - all of them are with her, but this particular look is SO fun and outrageous!! i got some makeup inspiration from Interview magazine and did her eyes - she brought the wicked cool attire.

i actually did this shoot for my VERY DL TRES IMPORTANT project {the "big" thing i've been mentioning recently}. you see, i had to do it as an application project for the miami ad school {portfolio school in Florida}. the theme happens to be shooting a subject from the perspective of a small dog - LOVE the quirkiness!! so i thought, why not take a goofy theme and vamp it up as a completely outlandish shoot? plus, i was psyched for a reason to toss in my good ole Taco Bell doggy - that still says "I think I'm in love" after all these years!! :)
steph is totally channeling daryl hannah in Blade Runner {LOVE, hehe}.

thanks, "Gigi"/Steph!!! ;)

enjoy and please do leave comments!

xoxo

Stylish Stephanie: On the Table Session

Ooh, how i love my stephanie!! {as I'm sure you know by now, if you've checked out my blog at all lately :) }
this is more from our recent fashion session.
she amazes me with her ability to transform herself from a dramatic, damsel in period costume to a sexy, mysterious mademoiselle.
for this little shoot, we snuck into a small, deserted library and took down some wall art, mwhahaha {no harm, of course}.
i just can't get enough of her sense of style and movement in front of the camera. {and otherwise!}.

enjoy her steamier side! ;)

xoxo

P.S. this is her REAL hair-do in this shoot - LOVE it!!


the start of our photographic flip book. :)







a FAV of mine!
