An Evening of Hope in Casablanca

On Saturday night (June 19 2010) the Archibald-Cochran Ballroom in the Galthouse was transformed into a beautiful dreamy scene from a movie for an amazing benefit for the American Cancer Society which included an elegant dinner, dancing and of course - a FASHION SHOW! Casablanca style! The show's fashion and accessories were provided by Peacock Boutique and The Dressing Room (both located on Frankfort Ave). They were all absolutely fabulous and I wanted everything that was in the show! Be sure to check out these stores if you haven't already. They have a brilliant selection of unique designers, fabulous jewelry and are some of my favorites in town.

The glamorous look they were going for made me instantly excited about being a part of this particular event. I'm such a sucker for vintage! Hair and makeup was lead by Lorie Karnes of Glitzy Glamour Designs and included Andrea Ahl and the Paul Mitchel School. The models were so wonderful and we had so much fun backstage before the show. I was very lucky to work with such a great group of lovely ladies! I hope I get to work with you all again in the future! And thank you to Jacob Zimmer for putting us all together and for all of the hard work that went into the production of the event. It was beautiful. And OF COURSE a big thank you to everyone who came out to support such a great cause!

Alicia C's Louisville Shoots Round 2

Alicia C Photography's second round of photoshoots in Louisville starred Laurie Johnson, Elizabeth Dryden, Tiffany Leake, Nisha Abraham and Whittney Dawn Allen. It was a steamy hot week for outdoor photoshoots, but everyone was fantastic and pulled through like champs. I even shot a quick jewelry ad for Shallott Lilly one evening. Alicia's work was impeccable as always. My responsibilities rested in keeping everyone's makeup and hair looking fresh and beautiful. Fun memories were made that week while some of us went to great lengths to stay cool and sane! Be sure to take a look at our work and visit www.alicia-c-photography.com.

Going to the Drive In!

I have always wanted to do a fantastic shoot at a drive-in movie theater and when the idea was passed by me I was super excited! We have a friend who owned a FANTASTIC cherry red 1953 Buick Special... and it shot FLAMES out the back! Seriously!

It rained all the day of the shoot and I kept my fingers crossed. We made it out to the shoot site and five minutes after we started shooting... the rain came. I tried to keep my curls pinned and cute, but mother nature had her way with me eventually.

The second half of the shoot had to wait until the sun went down because the rain wouldn't let up, but when it did we got some of the greatest shots of the night! I think my favorite might be the one of me throwing the popcorn in the air. It was too much fun. (I was still picking it out of my hair at Spinelli's later that night haha)

Masha Archer Jewelry

In anxious anticipation of the new Sex and the City movie, Peacock Boutique on Frankfort Avenue held a special Truck Show at Avalon recently for jewelry Designer Masha Archer, who's designs were seen in the movie.

Her celebrity clients and collectors include Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Walters, Beyonce Knowles, Clint Eastwood, Gladys Knight, Calista Flockhart, Ivana Trump, amd Jennifer Love Hewitt just to name a few.

Her necklaces are rich and made with coral, lapis, pearl, jade, amber, bone, African trade beads, silver and turquoise. I had the opportunity to shoot some of the pieces from her collection and they were exquisite! Each one was a complete work of art. Some of them were so big the could even function as a shirt!

Myself and model Nisha Abraham felt like exotic princesses during our shoot with Dennis Ledford. Trying to LOOK like princesses in the excruciating heat became the challenge. Nisha was a champ - wish I could say the same... the heat got the best of me there for a bit. Be sure to check out her amazing set on her facebook page HERE. She rocked it!

Alicia C's Louisville Shoots Round 1

Hello everyone! The first short round of Alicia C. Photography's shoots in Louisville KY has ended, and the second is on it's way next week... so I thought you may interested in seeing how everything went!! First up, we had the pleasure of working with the stunning and accomplished Brandy Fisher! She is a busy girl and was Miss Kentucky 2010 Runner up! After I created her hair and makeup look, we then headed for the park. She is SUCH a sweetheart and a real a trooper for hiking in heels like no one I have seen. She first set was in a beautiful blush-pink dress of her own and then in one of Soreyda Benedit's lovely gowns for a fantasy look that was breathtaking. The only downside to the day was realizing that it was in fact not too early for mosquitoes. Ulgh! Read more about her experience HERE or add her on FACEBOOK



Our next model was accomplished dancer Tiffany Leake from Lexington Ky. I was very excited to work with her because she is actually a very close relative of mine! The day that the shoot was scheduled for was doomed my mother nature so we had to reschedule for the following day which turned out to be lovely. Aside from the wind - which took ahold of the reflector I was holding and nearly turned me into a kite tail!! After I completed her hair and makeup look, we took a trip down to waterfront park to capture it in a way that hadn't been seen before. Tiffany was a natural at posing and had long legs and arms that were perfect for high fashion. But she had a secret - this was her very first photoshoot. Ever! And she absolutely ROCKED it. I think Miss Leake has quite a future ahead of her. Check her out on FACEBOOK!




...BUT before she went home, we both found the time to do a couple epic sets together. I think after watching two other talented women work their stuff, I was itchin to do something creative... and I had in incredible pair of shoes (of course) that were my inspiration for the idea! LOL. Here is a sneak peak... More to come soon!! Xoxo

Chickens and Pigs, Oh My!

Last week I worked with Jami Guess (J Guess Photography) styling a country/bohemian bridal shoot with the lovely Nisha Abraham. It was the most fabulous, beautiful day EVER! After I finished doing her hair and makeup we headed for the fresh air of Sunny Acres Farm. (Visit Sunny Acre's Facebook!)



There were so many things that we wanted to do and places that we wanted to shoot, but were limited by the ridiculous amount of rain and flooding that had come through a few days prior... so we had to stick to the high grounds. There was an old overgrown red truck in a field that was of great use, beautiful fields of yellow wildflowers, a pig named Emma that followed us everywhere and liked candy, peacocks, a horse named Grandma... and the list goes on....



Nisha was amazing and the first pose she struck in the barn was my favorite of the day I think - Followed by the field of flowers. Even I hopped into a few shots! We both took advantage of the red truck. And of course I couldn't NOT get in a picture with a chicken!! What more high fashion than having a chicken under your arm?! Haha! There was lots of hiking in heels, but overall the day was quite dreamy and we escaped relativity unharmed by insects considering the immense amount of hairspray present! Truly a miracle! I really can't wait to go back and maybe work with some of their beautiful horses next time. Stay tuned for that....
