ALL ABOARD THE H.R.H LOLA

I’ve been so bad at keeping up with blogging lately because, well… life. No excuses here, except for the fact that in my industry summer is the busiest time. So mama's gotta hustle!

I’ve also been spending a whole lot of time with kids and on our boat. It's hard to believe that summer has literally zipped by and we are entering into fall. Kids are back to school and the weather is about to turn back to crispy fall. Which, I'm kinda excited about... nothing I love more then fall fashion.

I did want to do a post on this incredible shoot I did on the gorgeous H.R.H. Lola, a vintage 70’s yacht in our own Belmont Harbor. I first discovered Lola through I few conversations I had with it’s manager Kurt and owner Anthony. I fell in love with this gorgeous vessel and immediately reminisced about Italy, my trip to Capri + Positano last summer and also all the vintage Italian films I grew up watching as a little girl. I knew I had to do a shoot here.

My roots have always been in photography and the reason I got into this business will always be to create beautiful imagery and to tell stories. So here you have it, a glamourous story of a girl living on a yacht… a girl can dream right. Side-note, there was a ton of schlepping to get these shots. Thank god for my amazing friend Anastacia who also shares my love and vision for cinematography, fashion and beauty. We did everything ourselves, no crew. Just two creative girls, doing what we do best… creating! We did our own hair and make-up, came up with our own styling and had only two hours to produce all this beauty. I hope you enjoy it!
