Check out the July issue of C magazine with the insanely gorgeous January Jones on the cover! We shot the cover on the rooftop of the Thompson Beverly Hills a few months back with photographer Matthias Vriens McGrath.

It was an awesome day with tons of fabulous fashion provided by the amazing Elizabeth Stewart and hair perfection provided by none other than Mr. Mark Townsend, ever heard of him?

I love how the pictures turned out, they really seem to capture her cool fashion sensibility. I used an Chanel aubergine eyeshadow called “Magic Night” on her eyes and Tom Ford’s blush nude on her lips for the cover and my fav lip color of the moment Shisiedo Perfect Rouge in Fuchsia for the inside. Cool color palette, cool girl!

Here are some of my fav behind the scenes pics from our day on set.

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to get to work with women I admire and in Christina Hendricks’ case pretty much worship. I mean, could she be more of EVERYTHING worth celebrating about being a woman? I am so happy she has unwittingly become the poster child for modern femininity. We need more reasons to bask in the glory of our figures and celebrate what makes our bodies different from men, um HELLO! Don’t get me wrong, I can appreciate Kate Moss’ style as much as the next girl, but when it comes down to the feminine ideal, I think most men would agree a woman with the frame of a teenage boy isn’t quite what makes them crazy.

We shot this cover just a few weeks back and I knew right away it was going to cause a stir. The inspiration of the day was Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus”, which doesn’t surprise me at all. I’m sure if Botticelli were alive today Christina would be his kind of lady.

Here’s a great new story I shot with Amber awhile back for the February issue of Marie Claire. I think the black and white portrait of her looking down is my favorite photo of the bunch.

I’m home from an amazing two day shoot in Malibu for Spanish Vogue with one of my all time favorite photographers and people Nicolas Moore. Nicolas has such an incredible eye and a way of capturing these quiet beautiful moments with a cinematic quality that I just love. I can’t wait to see the finished photos especially since the model was the fabulous Natasa Vojnovic. Not only is she incredible to work with but the coolest most compassionate girl. Collaborating with such talented and wonderful people is one of the best parts of being able to call this my job! I’ll be sure post the May cover and inside story as soon as I can get my greedy little hands on it!
