Right before the holidays, we finally squeezed in the LOLAstretch 2009 Calendar shoot. This year, my cover girls were Emery LeCrone and Stephanie Chrosniak.(To read more about these ladies, click here.) The following are just some of the many outtakes and a little narration to make sense of it all. As you can see, we had a really good time!

Emery and Stephanie getting warmed up for shots of my two newest style–just launched!–Sputnik Sweetheart and Sputnik 2 respectively. (Yes, I am a Haruki Murakami fan)

Emery warming up for the camera.

I decided 3 tutus were better than one, hence, a lot of fluffing.

Being ridiculous, and suggesting Emery hold her tutu as a sportcoat over her shoulder.

Shoulders back while balancing precariously on box.

I seem to like to show and tell.

The models showing fear at what I am about to propose………..

Just a little schoolyard fun but I think Stephanie is still terrified and I must be crushing Emery’s lungs.

More schoolyard fun.

Whoops a daisy.

Can you hold your tutu like a sumo wrestler?

Adding yet another layer, Steven and I discussing the shot.

Danielle, Steven and myself looking on. The light in the space was amazing!

I love this one! Stephanie and Steven caught in action.

All in all, it has been great to begin 2009 with so many lovely images. And of course, finally getting Sputnik Sweetheart and Sputnik 2 out there. They have been in my mind for years and a long time coming to production.

To see the shots chosen for the calendar, check out the LOLAstretch Facebook Page. The calendars are at the printer and will be out shortly! I swear my resolution this year will be to finish the 2010 Calendar before 2010, but one thing at time here………..

Enjoy and Happy New Year!
