Romantic Slow-Burn & Suspense Novels
It was an honor to walk in such distinctive pieces for the Bay State Material World Fashion Show. The jacket, coat and hat were each hand made. These were taken just before the show and I loved the pause to capture the details and artistry before the runway. Hair and make up: 3 hours. On stage: 45 seconds a look, and it’s a wrap! Met a lot of talented people and took some great memories with me.

Inside, the details made it unforgettable: sugar cubes tucked away in a hidden book, towers of delicate pastries and scones with cream, and teapots waiting patiently for conversation. It wasn’t just tea; it was theater, with every sip and bite a reminder of how beautiful life can be when you pause to savor it.
