Thank you to all of you who participate in the Picture of the Day Contest. I am thrilled to have won POTD on September 26, 2009 as the photographer and wardrobe stylist. This pic also Showcased on OMP on Marie Blanchard's site.
I am a photographer, model and wardrobe stylist. I love using my knowledge of these three arts to create passionate art!

I am a wardrobe stylist both on the set and to help individuals fill out their closets with appropriate fashions. My professional wardrobe includes over 1000 pieces of elegant evening wear, designer cocktail dresses, glamorous clothing of all style, vintage sequined jackets, dresses and black tie event tops. I also have a large supply of leather and suede clothes such as leather and suede jackets, dresses and pants. I have walls and closets overflowing with jewelry and various accessories.
I HAVE SOME VERY UNIQUE ITEMS! And my rentals are inexpensive and the process is easy. Dress rentals range from $5 per night to $300 per night. I have package deals that include, for example, a cocktail dress, jacket or wrap, purse, scarf and jewelry for $60 per night. The jewelry ranges from simple costume jewelry to elaborate diamonds, sapphires, other gemstones, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, various metals, sterling silver, gold and platinum.
My wardrobe can fit every kind of event. And, if I happen to not have what you are looking for, I will look for it with your budget in mind. Or I will buy it, add it to my collection and rent it to you.

It took me a long time to get into fashion. I was always a Tom-girl who was more interested in rock climbing than in painting my fingernails.
I got into fashion and make-up only when I FINALLY realized that our bodies are canvases... each one is a nearly blank slate that we can use to create art. Wardrobe, make-up and hair styling work together to create whatever illusion or reality that you are trying to create with the model, set design, location and props. Then the photographer and model come together - and, hopefully - voila! A beautiful photo blossoms into existence.

My other interests include quantum physics, designing jewelry, and photography. I have had an excellent education that includes studying at The Sorbonne (University of Paris), University of Nice (France), Cambridge University (UK), University of New Hampshire and graduating with honors with a BA from Rutgers College, Rutgers University.
Some of my past experiences include being an avid rock climber and sky diver (65 jumps), aerobatic flying with experienced pilots, extreme climbing, extreme skiing, managing a hot air balloon company and, as editor-in-chief, developed an extreme sports men's magazine that I named "EDGE: the adrenaline lifestyle magazine".
I've always been a writer, poet, adventurer and marketing consultant; I owned an advertising agency in Atlanta and did marketing consulting most of my life. I was commissioned by NASA to write a poem about space exploration for one of their anniversary coffee-table books.
I love traveling and have traveled extensively, including to India, Nepal, Thailand, Laos, Turkey, Peru, Greece, Bolivia, France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, the Bahamas, various islands, Canada and Mexico. Aside from France and England, I have lived in New Jersey, Philadelphia, New York, Connecticut, North Carolina (Asheville), Atlanta, California (Santa Cruz) and Maui. I’ve studied various spiritual disciplines, including Buddhism, advaita vedanta, yogic disciplines, Christianity and more, but I am not attached to any religion or particular discipline.
My business mentor and other half is the world reknowned (or, should be) Charles Worthley who has that go-get em, do-it-now attitude. He's teaching me that nothing can stand in my way...
