We had a blast trick or treating with our little power ranger/ironman (he switched costumes halfway through the night. heeehee)

I’m thrilled to see that The Knotty Bride featured the recent Haunted Parisian boudoir shoot…. Click here or above to see their posting! And to see additional photographs, take a peek at the previous blog post!

Thanks, Knotty Bride!!!!!

I had the pleasure of collaborating on a creative photo shoot with some of Santa Barbara’s finest vendors… We had a blast stretching our wings and playing with the idea of blending boudoir and event decor with the inspiration of Halloween… Designer, Nico Cervantes, dreamt up this idea that had me salivating. boudoir? haunted? parisian antique feel? YES. I’m in.

He brought us to a quiet horse trail in Santa Barbara, setting up the vision. EYE CANDY. He brought in vintage furniture, props, and styled the shoot with the awesome help of Kayla, Fern, and Lindsay… Luna Bella’s artists, Ashley + Christin, provided sexy hair and make up for our hottie model, Nina LaFuente… Nina was amazing to work with as she braved dodging poison oak, the endless ants and spiders we found (not ideal when you’re wearing next to nothing, heehee! Thanks, Nina!) All with a smile on her face and the trust as I photographed her… Jessica Foster created scrumptious desserts for us (if you haven’t tried her treats, now’s the time… i was first introduced to her truffles a few years ago and fell in love. I’d never been a fan of truffles before but after but her use of blending chocolates with such unique flavors, it changed everything. love. yum. love.) Look closely at the invites lazaro made, and you’ll see it’s a carved out book with a beautiful,weathered, tea stained looking invite with a skeleton placed underneath on a bed of rustic looking straw. The lingerie was handpicked from Miss Kitty’s shop; ooh la la! I had the pleasure of stopping into her shop after the shoot and there’s many, many goodies within….

see below for links to the vendors who helped create this vision… We had a blast!!!!! So fun to work together and play!!!!!!!

Happy, happy Halloween, everyone!
