Yes, that's right. Lady Gaga's outfits. I am starting the new year off right! Wild and fun! I love Gaga. I love fashion. I love working with Bobbie. I love awesome light. This shoot was a dream.
I photographed Steffie in a few of the Ryan Jordan pieces that the one and only Gaga wore recently. Aren't they amazing!?!
Happy Happy New Year!!! 2012 is going to be amazing. I can't wait. I have a baby on the way. I have a ton of incredible shoots planned. It's going to be insane. I hope everyone had a fabulous celebration this holiday season. xoxo

I was in LA last month and put together this styled shoot. I wanted to do a shoot with a twist. I LOVE Marysia Swim bathing suits, but I wanted to shoot models downtown LA, not on a beach. And bathing suits in NYC in November DO NOT WORK! Only in LA...
I had fun shooting at a gorgeous hotel and on the streets of Los Angeles. The city scape is so different from NYC. And the California light is incredible.
I had a super fun team to work. I just love doing styled shoots where I can put together a team and get some neat photographs. I love thinking up a vision and running with it. On the day of the shoots, things change (the weather, the scenery, new ideas pop up), but I just adore this creative process. Thanks everyone! Let's do it again soon!
Bathing suits: Marysia Swim

I had so much fun photographing Alex. We laughed a lot. He jumped a lot. And we had a few good laughs about SNL's Surprise Party skit. I can't breathe when I watch it. "Should I get balloons? YYYYYYYESSSSSSSSS!!!". Amazing.

For those of you that don't know, I LOVE nailpolish. I love different colors. Patterns. Sparkles. I also think it looks really cool in photo shoots when people paint their nails. For instance, I adore the color of Danielle's (of DANNIJO) nails in our shoot here.
One of my best friends Virginie is THE best at keeping up with nail color trends and styles. She is from Paris and everything she wears is just perfectly French and perfectly perfect. I call her my favorite fashion expert. I asked her if she could help out on the blog and give us some tips for nail colors that she loves for shoots.
LINDSEYBELLE: What color are you wearing today? And why is it your favorite right now?
Virginie: Mesmerize by Essie. It is such a beautiful color. It's the best blue I have seen. It's bright and bold. And it goes with any outfit.
LB: Why would this color look great in an engagement shoot session? What would you suggest people wear with it?
V: It adds a touch of color to the photographs, which I think is always fun! And it makes the engagement ring look awesome! Mesmerize really goes with any outfit. You could wear it with other crazy colors or neutrals. Anything goes.
Don't you think she looks amazing? Summery and relaxed. I think (between you and me) that she may be taking some awesome tips from the Man Repeller with all of those incredible prints mixed together (bag, lace on dress, quilted shoes, striped sweater). Oh I love this outfit and those nails! Tell me, do you all love blue nail polish as much as we do? What other colors do you like to wear?
P.S. Let me know via email, text, blog comments, snail mail (haha!), etc... if you would like me to ask Virginie to keep giving us nail color tips that are trendy and would look good on shoots.

I started this Pass It On Interview Series a few weeks with DANNIJO. I want to pass along information and fun things about interesting people that are creative and doing incredible in their fashion industries. Everyone should know about these incredible people that I love!
Jane Pope is awesome. She runs a successful jewelry business with two outrageous lines: Jane Pope Jewelry (fine jewelry) and Balboa Jewelry (jewelry with vintage elements). She has dressed celebrities like Sienna Miller, Natalie Portman, and Perry Reeves. Lauren Lail of Library Fashion, Way Way Allen of Blue Chickadee, and Jane have just opened up Novel in Charleston, South Carolina, a fashion collaboration showroom. Jane is doing some pretty amazing things, so make sure to keep watching her!
I have been obsessed with Jane's jewels since I met her. You will NEVER find me without four of her Twig/Seed/Branch bangles on my wrists. I adore them.
Jane Pope: I might think I am shy, but I am really the opposite... I am approachable and have a good sense of humor. If I met myself, I would notice my laugh!
LB: What advice would you give to someone who is starting their own business?
JP: Stay focused on what you are good at. Love what you are doing.
LB: What was your greatest risk in business?
JP: Quitting my other job in retail to go full time. It's hard to make that leap and sustain your lifestyle at first when you aren't being financially supported. But if you work like crazy, put yourself out there, and approach magazines, stores, and shows, it will all work out.
LB: Who do you admire most?
JP: I admire people who can balance work, family, and success without sacrificing anything that they believe. Now that I have a child, this balance has become so important.
LB: What scares you?
JP: Heights. Oh, and interviews and being photographed. [laughs]
LB: What was your biggest fashion mistake?
JP: Oh, that is an easy one! I wore a long mandarin collared tunic with tights. And rubber red loafers. I looked like a waitress at a sushi restaurant. And I wore this outfit to a football game! [laughs]
LB: How would you describe your style?
JP: Relaxed. I love to mix old and new (nothing too trendy). I love vintage clothes. I have a ton. Classic but cool.
LB: Where do you get your inspiration?
JP: I get a lot of my inspiration from travel. And nature. I love patterns in textiles, and I incorporate them in to my designs.
LB: What is your favorite blog to read?
JP: I read a lot of them, but my current favorite is Look Linger Love.
LB: Favorite nail polish?
JP: San Tan Tonio by OPI. I love neutrals. And Barefoot in Barcelona.
LB: Who makes you laugh the most in life?
JP: Carter Hancock. My best friend. We can go on and on and on laughing about nothing for hours. It's awesome.
LB: Favorite music?
JP: Right now I love listening to Etta James on Pandora.
LB: If you could get away right now, where would you go and with who?
JP: I would go to the Raleigh Hotel in Miami and sip prosecco by the pool with my husband.
LB: What's been the most memorable thing in your career?
JP: Definitely my feature in Vogue. That was a dream come true.
LB: If you could dress one celebrity, who would it be?
JP: It's always flattering to bejewel celebrities, but I would most love to see Taylor Tomasi Hill in my designs. Her style is amazing... And I love her hair!
LB: What's a classic Jane Pope Jewelry item that every gal needs in her jewelry chest? And something from your latest line?
JP: My Twig bangles are classic. And lots of them. They are stackable, and you can keep adding to them. And from my current collection, the Xenia earrings.
Jane is wearing: Seedling delicate bracelet, Seed bangle, Twig bangle (with diamonds), and Stick and stone rings. Her earrings are not listed on her website, but you can always contact her to buy some!

I love styled shoots. I am always pushing myself to think of new ideas, new concepts, and new things to shoot. I photograph a ton of shoots with gals. But, I have never photographed a styled shoot with a guy alone. I thought it would be a fun experience, so I grabbed Lucas! He is an incredible guy and so much fun (have I mentioned that I love working with incredible, fun, easy going people? I DO!). And of course I asked Bobbie the stylist extraordinaire and hair genius to style the shoot and create the hair look!
I wanted to photograph Lucas around NYC with some of my favorite NY things. Taxis. Levain cookies (best cookies EVER. Lucas and Bobbie think so too). Brick buildings. Silver garage doors. Garbage on the side of the street piled up (well, this isn't one of my favorite things, but it is a 'normal' thing to New Yorkers on garbage pickup day!).

As promised, here is the OUTRAGEOUSLY AWESOME TOTALLY FANTASTIC styled shoot with Hunter and Paul. You may remember them from their engagement shoot that I photographed two years ago. Hunter is THE Hunter of Hunter Dixon. I wanted to do a shoot where the fashion designer was actually wearing her own clothes, instead of models wearing the clothes. Something different.
Styled shoots are a lot of fun for me. I love putting together a team of incredibly talented people and letting everyone run wild with ideas. I totally believe it having a vision and goal, but then letting each artist on the team come up with their unique ideas and specialities. That's when you see everyone's talents at their best. True artists are incredible to work with. I am fascinated, and I learn so much.
Cheers to these incredible artists and friends! I can't wait to work with you all again.
