Behind the Scenes Video

A few months ago, along with my friend and photographer Maria Laxamana, I styled a photo shoot with two leading ladies, Yvette Yates and Cindy Vela, featuring some of the most beautiful pieces from new and upcoming designers like Pa Kou Xiong to couture designer Adolfo Sanchez and Etoile Couture jewelry among a few others. I also worked with a new Eco-Friendly Exquisite jewelry and designer, Hovey Lee, and was just amazed by her collection of gold and silver art. Furthermore, you can't miss out on the very beautiful and deliciously frosted pair of heels that were designed by shoe designer Kate Ferguson.  We truly had an amazing ensemble starting from designers to models and finally to our behind scene crew members.

The cast and crew in all, were so creative to say the least and we are so thankful that Chris Hawley was able to catch this behind the scenes video clip. These photo-ages are still being submitted for an editorial spread so for now, enjoy!

It's a Wrap!

It's been a very long weekend because we finally wrapped "Have you met Miss Jones?". It's a new TV Pilot that we shot with a wonderful cast and crew. I've worked in television before and it's always long days and hours. It's very exhausting but also very exciting. I had my friend and assistant Patrick Barraquio (whom I can't do anything without) and my side kick Jesse Lopez who also worked as the main Set Designer. I had such a great time and I met so many wonderful people. The writer David Mattia, omg I love him to death and can sit and listen to him talk all day. Writers fascinate me so much because the things they have in their head just amazes me. I've tried writing in the past but after 60 or so pages, I got bored.. needless to say, I never finished anything. I do plan on writing a book one day so hopefully it'll spark me again lol. I had the great pleasure of working with Academy Award winner Patty McCormack, Art LaFleur, Dot Jones and James Kyson Lee among other amazing actors such as the co-writer, actor and Executive Producer, James Di Giacomo who was our main actor for the character Angelina Jones (Miss Jones). His character is so contagiously cute. I fell in love with her and wish I could be friends and go shopping with her! I have to say, I will miss Angelina Jones very much (until we shoot again I hope). The script was so brilliantly written and the humor still cracks me up just thinking about it. I learned a lot of new things too on this set vs what I've done in the past so I'm excited to see what's coming up next. 

I have lots of photos so you can always go to my facebook fan page for more. I'm also posting photos from my Friday night "Concert at the Park" since I didn't get a chance to do so before the weekend started.
