THE SECRET GARDEN

By anja on May 17, 2013 in fashion inspiration, photoshoots

The spring lookbook for Summerland has been unveiled! This time, we traveled to some lilac gardens (totally trapped in time and adorable) to shoot images of Summerland’s amazing new spring pieces. My favorite is the Samantha Pleet Myth Dress. So good!

AY MARIEKE JEWELRY

By anja on May 15, 2013 in fashion inspiration, photoshoots, portland

I had so much fun working on this shoot for my friend’s jewelry line, Ay Marieke. Her pieces have a lovely combination of feminine and mystic elements, drawing from classic symbolism in a subtle way. I can’t wait to wear one of her Ojo rings (ojo = eye!), I’ve been wanting an eye ring for a long time but was waiting for the right one. Our shoot day was exactly what I hoped it would be- chill ladies working together on a fun project, mimosas and jewels, silks and a bit of sunshine in the studio. Make sure to visit the Ay Marieke shop to see even more pieces, and you can also keep up with her updates on her Facebook page.

STONE & HONEY / MEDIUS COLLECTION

By anja on May 6, 2013 in fashion inspiration, photoshoots, portland

A while back I had the pleasure of shooting Stone & Honey‘s new spring jewelry collection, Medius. We worked together on images for the fall collection as well, and the shoots are always fun and chill. Teresa’s work is beautiful, and it’s always awesome to get a couple sneak peeks of her works-in-progress while we’re planning the photoshoot. I love the addition of fringe to this collection, and the bronze rings are mega cool! They’re simple but strong at the same time (my fave is this one). Plus, Teresa brings the tastiest chocolate chip cookies from Tula Bakery, I think we can say that it’s a tradition (even if it’s just twice)? They’re tradition-worthy. Also, this shoot taught me that hair tied in a knot is basically one of the coolest things ever.

Check out more images below, and you can find all the pieces from the Medius collection right here! PS – I didn’t shoot the product images but wanted to include them too!

IN THE MOOD

By anja on March 23, 2013 in fashion inspiration, photoshoots, portland

I am way behind in posting these images, but better late than never! I had the pleasure of shooting the very first lookbookfor Fortyeight, the new flash sale shoe site by Solestruck. Everyone on this shoot was awesome, we did it all out at the Solestruck warehouse (shoe heaven?) and it was my first time ever shooting with a male model. The first shoe sale is over (they only last 48 hours!) but you can sign up to be notified when the next one is happening. Shoe ladies, this one’s for you. You can see the official lookbook here and they also did a super sweet blog post with some of my other photos here (Portland friends, see if you make an appearance!).

REIF X PATTERN PEOPLE

By anja on March 6, 2013 in fashion inspiration, photoshoots, portland

Check out this awesome new collaboration by REIF and Pattern People! These new handmade turbans and headbands (super popular in Portland!) feature a special edition print created just for this line, and they are having a launch party tomorrow night at Yo Vintage! If you need a break from the gray days, come out and have a drink and get some COLOR injected into your wardrobe. Spring is coming, I can feel it. Saw my first cherry blossoms the other day, so it’s TRUE. I shot these photos for the lookbook during my week of a billion shoots, thanks to these ladies for the awesome afternoon.

SUMMERLAND / HEY SWEET STUFF

By anja on February 21, 2013 in fashion inspiration, photoshoots, portland

Even though Valentine’s Day has come and gone, pastel pix like these are always relevant in Summerland! Megan has realized her long-time dream of opening up a brick & mortar home for Summerland and you can visit her and check out all of her awesome wares at 811 E. Burnside #222. She’s ’round the back and up the stairs, so don’t be shy about exploring the building. There are other cool shops in the back too that you might have missed. Right now Megan is in NY seeking out awesome new stuff for the store, so the shop is closed for the week but will be open again on Feb 26th! My timing is super awesome, right? Haha. Enjoy the pastel wonderland!

SHOOT DAY

By anja on January 27, 2013 in analog photography, fashion inspiration, photoshoots, portland

Today I’m shooting some new clothing by Sara Bergman. We’ve done this together a couple times now and I know it’ll be super nice and chill! I have three, possibly four, photoshoots in a row this week so it’s going to be a little crazy, makes me glad that the people I work with aren’t people that thrive off of stressful situations. I am the opposite, I like things to be as mellow as they can be. I can get shit done just as efficiently as a workaholic, it’s just that I prefer to do it with a layer of CHILLNESS over everything, haha. I took this photo of Sharon at our last shoot, I think it was one of my first attempts with the medium format camera.

ALL TOMORROW’S PARTIES

By anja on December 12, 2012 in fashion inspiration, photoshoots, portland

A new holiday shoot for Summerland, featuring the always amazing Meredith Adelaide! We took these photos at a variety of locations in St. John’s, including ultra cute home, which was featured heavily in our previous spring shoot, So Long, Marianne. Check out what’s new at Summerland and enjoy the photos! Don’t blame me if you find yourself craving a diner milkshake or a whiskey & coke.
