Paulie Antiques Winter 2013 Lookbook!

These were shot out in St. Joseph, IL, yesterday not far from the location where Joao was lost. It turns out that my new friends Robert and Thena have a 100 acre farm (on which Joao lived for 3 months) with absolutely breath-taking woods. They were unfortunately sick with the flu when we visited the location yesterday, but we thank them so much for letting us photograph on their land (and returning my cat to me)! The winter here has been so mild, lately.... barely even nipping at my ears and toes. It felt a little rushed and chilled at this shoot, and I'm so pleased my idea of candles worked well and kept the girls warm. I wanted to introduce the idea of natural hydrangea flowers in their hair, again, because of the dead feeling of the earth around us. Colorful hydrangeas will appear again in the spring time :) Enjoy the photos........................
