Published-Military Spouse Magazine

Can you imagine baking and decorating cupcakes in your beautiful tea length dress, pearl necklace and delicate pumps? I can't either but somehow if you add an apron to the mix, it works. I had the privilege of coordinating, styling and propping for a photoshoot for the 50th issue of Military Spouse Magaziine. The theme was Cupcakes and Aprons and oh what fun we had. After a trip to Catherine's Closet to round up vintage dresses and aprons and scouring second hand stores and our own cupboards, we were able to come up with what I call a Martha Stewart inspired, vintage-meets-modern photoshoot. The fun thing about photoshoots is that a set can be created anywhere. In this case in my own house. Oh how I wish my kitchen could have remained that clean. Thank you to photographer, Athena Plichta for bringing me on board and to all of the wonderful women who took part in this photoshoot. The July issue of Military Spouse Magazine is in bookstores now.
