The first day of shooting in Austin was a blast – we shot at the Mohawk Room with the Happen-Ins, and models Ashley Smith, Anastasia Khodkina and Jessica Mau took turns pretending to be in the band. Ashley was a natural on the guitar and Anastasia blew us away with her rockstar energy! With Alexandra Valenti making magic behind the lens, it was a day of live music and fun in the company of friends.

after getting settled in at the house on thursday night, we walked to a nearby restaurant called z tejas for a delicious dinner outside under tree-strung lights…
the guacamole was amazing.
i woke up friday morning to the soft strumming of guitar and came downstairs to find our hair and makeup artists dennis and deanna, who got in late the night before. not a bad way to wake up!
coffee on the front porch as the sun comes up…i could do this every day.

while waiting for shooting to get started ashley picked up one of the guitars at the house and started playing…it was such a beautiful moment.
we’re working with austin-based photographer alexandra valenti – i am such a huge fan of her work, so it was really exciting to meet her. she has amazing style, too!
we went to this rad venue called mohawk, located on red river street.
anastasia gets touched up before shooting.
two members of local band the happen-ins, who are friends with alexandra valenti. i can’t get over that california raisins tank!
the band introduced us to the michelada, a concoction of tecate beer, bloody mary mix and lime – apparently you can’t come to austin and not try one! it’s interesting, that’s for sure :)
that’s all for now! today i am breaking away from the crew to go exploring…stay tuned!
