Behind the Scenes

Have you ever wondered what a photo shoot looks like behind the scenes? Prior to starting my bikini company I had no idea, nor how much effort they take. Just like any business, it's important to align yourself with the right people. There is a lot at stake for everyone involved. The models depend on the photos for their portfolio, same for the photographer, and the designer gets pictures to use for marketing/advertising. Even a small shoot takes a lot of coordination and commitment! I've posted a couple pictures from last weekends shoot in La Jolla. I worked with a few of the most professional people I know, and because of that the shoot was a big success. Check out some of San Diego's finest below:

Welcome Back Spring

Don't get me wrong I love Winter, snow and hot chocolate. But FINALLY, it's over! I'm a beach girl at heart, and get so excited once the days get longer, the water starts to warm up, and bikinis and BBQ's are the daily norm.

Every Spring I look for things to do outside. The weather in San Diego is very mild, and the summer tourists haven't arrived yet. I've pasted a couple links of fun spring activities I enjoy.

San Diego Hikes

Dancing and Music in Old Town

Spring Forward

It's Manic Monday! I swear just yesterday I was counting down the last 10 seconds til 2010 and now it is the middle of March. I've been so busy getting my new designs ready for summer, showcasing them in local fashion shows, and trying to build up my inventory for Thread San Diego.

Finally, we had a good 'ol fashioned San Diego weekend. The sun came out and gave us the opportunity to complete the first part of our photo shoot. We got some great pictures and some mean sunburns in the process. Here's a few pics from the shoot!

I bought "Lulu" when I was 16 and always dreamt of the day we could use her for a photo shoot. She started up first try yesterday, old faithful!















So many choices, which one should I try on first!















Thanks to Aurelia, Maria and Amy(not pictured)for putting in a long day, and doing an excellent job with all the hair and makeup.


















L to R: Yvette, Carly Fridell, and Delaney Wallace. Three of San Diego's finest models!















"Lulu" always brings out the laughter and free spirit in anyone who goes for a ride!
