Played on Abbot Kinney in a floral two piece and experienced my first food truck taco. Awesome styling by Monica De Castro and makeup by Tami K Shirley.

A cali babe that models full time, takes online classes, drives a smart car, has a pet snake AND makes amazing custom enameled jewelry? Major girl crushing on Krystall Schott with Photogenics. Oh and did I mention she's only 17? Last week I tagged along on her trip to Kit Kraft art supply store in the valley for some adventuring and pictures. Models are more than just a pretty picture so here's the pics AND interview! As always full pictures on my photo blog.

Krystall brought an awesome assortment of clothes for our adventure like a pair of vintage blue Italian oxfords and a handmade maroon skirt with real gold accents handmade in India...
R: Describe your personal style
K: I don't take style too seriously. I always dress a little bit off the wall and have fun with it. Right now I really like pieces from other cultures.
Can you tell it was 120 degrees?

I met Krystall while shooting an intense day-long editorial in death valley almost two years ago. 5 am call time, five hour drive out to the desert, middle of summer, 120 degrees and makeup meltdowns. But hey, we definetley got the shot!
R: Remember that desert shoot?
K: Yeah...that was a really interesting day. (Laughing) It was way too hot and miserable but I'm glad we were working with awesome people. That made it pretty fun!

Modeling gives girls such a unique life experience and exposure to so many different people, places and cultures so I always love hearing about future plans. Gotta love a girl with beauty and brains.
R: Plans after modeling?
K: I'm still working on my plans but at the moment I know I'm going to get some kind of degree. I'm just not sure whether it will be math/science or art or business..or perhaps all of them?! Maybe I'll be some kind of artistic engineer?
Krystall & Fred the snake on her agencies instagram @photogenicsla
R: Tell me about your pet snake!
K: Ah yes, Fred. Well Fred is a Kenyan Sand Boa and she is Female. A lot people say they are afraid of snakes but then I show them her and they think she is cute, so I think it's safe to say she's pretty cute (small and fat, 16 inches long). I like to take her with me places, she has her own little travel box. She is very very docile and friendly.

R: Car jams?
K: I listen to everything. I'm really into old rock and roll (The Doors, Cream, Pink Floyd, Johnny Cash, etc. and Jack White which is not old but lets count him too) but I have CD's with just about every genre.
R: Got a motto? Words to live by?
K: Do everything you love, be yourself and you will be unique. That along with treating people right is really all that matters in life. Oh and if you ever get bored do something random(dancing is good).
Flower crowns/wreaths/headbands/whatever have been done and overdone like last week's dinner. I swore I was going to kill if I saw anymore...then this wonderful gift to mankind happened. Paris Vogue: you did the damn thing. And it's actually spectacular. They took the hippie, Coachella staple, shot it super simply in-studio and made it look all kinds of bad ass in the March 2013 issue. Paired with a fresh face and THE MOST amazing hair (new inspo!!!), I can safely say...I'm Rima Vaidila and I approve this image. You're welcome.

Ran around with my cutie sister, a disposable camera and that sunset light. Got the prints back. This might be one of my favorite photos, ever. You can't even tell she was mad about being blinded. Lots more on my photo blog. Hope everyone has a great long weekend!

Photographed gorgeous model Ashley with Muse NYC late one night. Yeah, I made her roll around on the floor, I'm brutal to work with like that. Here are some of my favs. Oh and, plaid pants what?! As always you can catch the rest on my photo blog.
Took some pics of blonde model babe, Shawnee, this past weekend. Yeah I have a blonde obsession, so what?! Cameo pants, velvet shorts her boyfriend bought her for Christmas (best boyfriend award?), vintage band tees, beanies galore and a killer pair of striped Free People jeans. Ran around the neighborhood barely able to contain my excitement..."roll around on the hood of that car", "OMG cactus!". Yup, that pretty much sums up our awesome shoot.
Here are some of my favs...

Rummaging in the "for dry cleaning" bag that sat collecting dust in a dark corner of the garage when there, tucked between an emerald velvet dress and a shoulder padded blouse I found a coat. Black, thick wool, four buttoned with fur trimmed collar and matching cuffs.It simply screamed martinis and stockings held up with a lacy garter belt (mom?) I quickly pulled off all my clothes and threw it on like an oversized dress. Paired it with my funky Aldo Rise block heels and took some pics by the shed. This vintage beauty of a coat will definitively be seeing New York fashion week this Fall. Adorned with the red lip and diamonds it deserves.

What's your favorite place to find awesome vintage??
I shot babe Katherine Clark with L.A Models last night in a cute arcade story featuring my favorite WeSC varsity jacket from PacSun. This jacket is super versatile, actually provides warmth and best of all? It's only 99 dollars and looks like it had a 599 dollar price tag. This is the perfect go-to jacket for all occasions. Looks just as great with skinnies and vans as is does over a mini dress. And how cute does it photograph!? (well having a hottie blonde definitely helps). Happy Friday kids!
During a quick visit back home this past weekend I shot my babe of a blondie baby sister, Adria. Five disposable cameras, a pair of sequin mickey mouse ears, a leotard and a whole lot of attitude later...here's some of my favorites.
