Gala Darling in Paris ~ Part 1

Last month I photographed international playgirl/fashion blogger Gala Darling when she was on vacation with her best friend Nubby Twiglet here in Paris.  If you don’t already know who she is, head on over to her très inspiring website about life, love, art, fashion and all things magique in New York and around the world.  Gala is utterly adorable and her style is so awesome that  Fashionista named her one of the 10 most influential style bloggers in the world.  


In this next photo, Gala was trying to figure out how she could hang upside down from the jungle gym.

 

This next shot is my favorite from this series.

Candyland

I first photographed Christina in August when she trashed her wedding dress in Paris.  She had so much fun she wanted to do it again!   Christina loved my idea of driving out to a colorful French village and doing a candy/dessert theme photoshoot.  Yummy props included candy sprinkles in her hair, lollipops, cotton candy, cupcakes, bubblegum, candy necklaces, maraschino cherries, whipped cream, marshmallows, petits fours sucrés and of course no French dessert photoshoot would be complete without les macarons Ladurée.


I would like to thank Madame Liss from the B&B where we stayed, Maison d’hôtes de Mme LISS Hermine in Ribeauvillé, who was kind enough to give Christina a pair of her tights.  It was freezing and, as it was Sunday in France, all the shops were closed.  What a lifesaver!   Also, special thanks to everyone at Hotel Restaurant au Lion for letting us shoot on their beautiful terrace.  And most importantly, an extra special merci beaucoup to my wonderful husband for driving 14 hours in 2 days and for being the best assistant ever!
