I am so thrilled to finally be able to share some exciting news with you all. For the past few months I have been working with the insanely talented Cody Bess on a fashion book just for Houston. Cody is a fashion photographer, and he came up with the idea to document Houston fashion week and some of the amazing talent in Houston with his beautiful photography. I am so happy to be working with him on this project, and I wanted to show you all a preview of some of the shoots.

This shoot was a special project we did for Tootsie’s. I am wearing a kaftan designed by Camilla.

These are a few backstage and runway photos taken by Cody from Fashion Week 2011.

This is a shoot we did of David Peck at his studio. It was so cool to see his pieces being made, and all the work that goes into it.

Here is a shoot we did of Fady, Tootsie’s fashion director. He has the most amazing collection of clothing, shoes, and bags, but what was especially unique was his collection of pins. I love the lady bug on the flower! Can you find it on the tray?

I would love to hear what you all think. And if you love fashion and photography, check out more of Cody’s work here.

I can’t wait to share the book with all of you once it is complete! And if you live in Houston, I will see you at Fashion week in November.

You can follow me and stay updated on different shoots we do on my Facebook page here.
