I adore shooting editorials. It is a way for me to express and show my brand in a different way, they are a dream or fantasy and I love that. Editorials are always collaborative and Kaja and I were excited to work with Sophie again after 7 years. 

Sophie walked in my first runway show for Ottawa Fashion Week in 2013. She was so grateful, professional and she had a GREAT runway walk. I subsequently put her in every OFW runway because of her talent, and when we reconnected in Toronto at the OOAK Show, I knew we needed to work together again.

Shooting Silent Summer was a great day spent with creatives. Between Kaja and I honing looks and Sophie making each photo pop with her incredible makeup styling. Being surrounded and working with these artistic women was invigorating!

We are all honoured to have these photos featured over at Flanelle. You can give it look and read what Kaja wrote about this shoot as well.
