Whistle While You Work...

Working on some new painted photos...images of Keiko Lynn, Hannah Metz & Sarah Sophie Flicker...Yay!  I printed them pretty large, my ballet slippers will give you perspective of the size.  I printed a bunch of smaller ones too, but I am going to start the big ones first.  I love my days painting...it gives me a chance to listen to some of the records I got my husband for his birthday...lots of Ernest Tubb, Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, Carter Family and many more old Country gems!

Lullie Vintage Clothing Re-opening!

Hey everyone!  
I'm not sure if all of you know this, but before I began taking photos and painting on them...I used to have an online vintage shop.  Well,  today I have officially re-opened Lullie Vintage and I would be honored if you would take a peak!  If you like what you see, it would help me out sooooooo much if you share the shops address via twitter, blogs, facebook or tell you friends about it in person!  I basically opened the shop so that I could remain an artist, but pay my bills, so any traffic to the shop would help me out so much!  I will eventually be putting up some of my art prints too...along with a section for hats, kids vintage and costumes.

Thanks so much and I hope everyone is doing great!
xoxo,

SNEAK LITTLE PEAK...

Hello lovelies,

I have a ton of photos I am working on from a shoot I did with my buddies Keiko Lynn and Hannah.  Here are just a couple of images...not yet painted on, so much more to show you all.  We drove out to Cherry Valley in Pennsylvania and spent time on a horse farm, a lake full of lily pads, and a flower field! I am going to be painting on a bunch of the images and putting together a little spread with text and some other cute things... But here is a tiny little peak of what we were doing... 

I'm currently in Nashville while my husband Brett records his newest album...and then we head back to Los Angeles.  I had such a wonderful time in Nyc spending time with some new friends and really cherishing every moment with my parents and family.  I have a TON of preparation for a few shoots I am collaborating on this summer.  I'll be pretty crazy busy making costumes and props and also painting on the photos I shot of Sarah. Super excited for summer collaborations!  Oh and side note...I am pretty sure I am re-opening Lullie Vintage the week after I get home.  Hope you are all doing lovely!  
xoxo,
Shae
 

GET OUT AND GET UNDER THE MOON

On my birthday, back in March, me and the ever so talented Sarah Sophie Flicker made our way out to Malibu to collaborate on some photos and have some fun.  Sarah is a devoted mother, performer, dancer, filmmaker & writer and she is so full of life!  She is such a creative force, but more importantly, she is really genuine, down to earth and a really giving individual.   She is one of those artists that just seem to make you smile.  :) 

Painted photos from this shoot coming soon!

PRISM OF THREADS

I shot this image for my friend, Tracy Conti McCarty.  Her shop is called Prism Of Threads and in this photo, our friend Kristin is wearing Prism Of Threads hand painted silk vintage scarves that were made into tops. Definitely head on over to the shop and check out all of her pieces, they are really unique!  

Our friend Kristin Korven modeled for us, she is a really talented interior decorator and she was pretty amazing in front of the camera!  I am going to be photographing her again for sure! Jennifer Ziliotto did the makeup for us and she is a gal I met when I first moved to La about 5 or 6 years ago.  She is not only a musician and artist but she is also the creator and owner of Naked Eye Beauty.  Naked Eye beauty products are handmade, have animal free testing and she only uses organic ingredients!!!!  She's pretty amazing and so are her products, you NEED to go to her shop!

I painted these a few weeks ago, but I have been so busy I haven't posted them.  I photographed something for my friend, artist Tracy Conti McCarty (but I'm not supposed to say what it was, just yet).  I have to finish painting on all of those images, of which there are many...a lot of work ahead of me!  I'm photographing another artist/performer this next week, that will be really fun. After that is photographed, I will paint on those images.  Lastly on my plate, I am trying to have the Lullie Vintage shop open by the beginning of April.  There should be about 70-100 items in the shop or something close to that upon it's debut.  So, it's been a lot of work over here...busy busy...but really good.  I'm happy...and Waylons doing great and Brett is hard at work on his upcoming album, which is truly stunning.  I look forward to sharing his album with you all!

So,  that's the update from my end...I hope everyone is doing great!  
Hugs,

Shae
