I had the most domain privilege to help my friend, Melissa Martin, style her photo shoot with  the all classy and cultural magazine, Garden & Gun. Melissa greeted me at the Atchafalaya Basin along with an alligator. No really, it was picturesque! She picked me up at the landing in a little boat with an alligator in the water next to her. Now Melissa is every bit of a bayou goddess and then the cypress trees and the alligator! That was a mental shot I will never forget! The folks from Garden & Gun were already on Melissa's house boat ready to capture the magnificence of the low country. I brought a hundred out fits and we all agreed that Melissa looked perfect in the outfit she brought! Client's always know best! I just sprinkled her with Beth love and we had a party on her primitive floating home. Food preparing, friends dipping toes in the water and chatting, lighting  captured.... it was a most beautiful day! 

The magazine wanted to feature Melissa Martin- a New Orleans' chef- and her artistic, culinary baby , Mosquito Supper Club. Just google it and experience the beautiful, simple magic of Melissa and her amazing crew! Thanks to Garden & Gun and  Melissa Martin for this breathtaking day on the house boat! * The first set of pictures are from the magazine  taken by Cedric Angeles * Grab the newest issue now!
