A Bohemian Halloween Fashion Shoot

October 31st, 2012

Just had a really fabulous time in the woods going for a Bohemian Fantasy look … just in time for Halloween!

Robin McAloon did the amazing and exotic makeup and Christal Lema did the fantastically wild hair.

They are such a talented duo … and happen to be sisters !

One of my passions happens to be designing and making clothing,

and while in India, I created a line of clothing … here are a few samples.

An Exquisite New England Wedding

Allison and Rob happen to be one of the loveliest couples from this season … in so many ways.

Both have a brightness, warmth and genuine sincerity and grace…. their families are just as wonderful.

Their wedding reflected all of these qualities and more. It was held at the private home of Rob’s family on the Massachusetts coast line.

A friend of Allison and Rob hand painted signs to guide the guests throughout the property … Love that!
