Behind The Scenes : Daniella Monet
When I pulled up to the quaint bungalow tucked away in the Los Angeles hills, Daniella Monet was already sitting in the glam chair getting prepped for our cover shoot for Saturne Magazine. At five months pregnant, the “Victorious” actress was looking better than ever as the hair and make up team worked their magic.
In the meantime, wardrobe stylist Lauren Taylor and I started going through the days looks and narrowed down our top choices for the days shoot which wasnt an easy task, just look at all these beautiful garments.

KINDER BEAUTY BOX :
Kinder Beauty is a new monthly box subscription co-founded by actresses and animal activities, Evanna Lynch and Daniella Monet. Kinder Beauty Box, is a cruelty-free and vegan monthly subscription box. We launched less than 2 months ago, and our very first boxes shipped out to customers starting on Jan 15. Every product in our boxes will be vegan, palm oil-free, and made by companies that are 100% cruelty-free.
We’re all about creating positive change in the world, and so we’ll be donating a portion of proceeds to our favorite animal rights groups. For the month of January, we’re donating to the LA County Animal Care Foundation in appreciation of the life-saving work they did during the CA wildfires. On top of that, we’re proud to say our packaging is made from 100% recycled and eco-friendly materials (even the ink used to print the logo is soy-based, not made from petroleum).
OUTSTANDING FOODS:
Having taken the risk 3+ years ago, Outstanding Foods is Daniella Monet’s first significant investment. With lead investor Rob Dyrdek, and a countless number of strategic influencers, actors, and athletes as investors, Outstanding Foods has been able to create a mushroom chip that not only emulates BACON, but will help people eat healthier while saving the lives of piggies! Our Pig Out Chips have become a viral product via social and was recently named Whole Foods Market’s Top 10 Trends for 2019.
SUGAR TACO:
Sugar taco is a female owned, carbon neutral, vegan, taco shop aiming to make quality vegan food accessible to everyone. They have also partnered with 8 Billion Trees (8billiontrees.com) and will be planting a tree for every meal sold. Additionally, many of their food items will support Food for Life Global; by purchasing one of those meals it will send a healthy vegan meal to a child in need. Sugar Taco will open in May inLos Angeles: www.sugartaco.com

BTS with Meg Donnelly for Grumpy Magazine
Some photoshoots you are given the luxury of spending several hours with a talent, while others you have just a brief moment to connect and get the images you want. I had an hour to work with Meg and I have learned in this industry to work fast. We were able to do four looks in the time that we had together.
She is truly an amazing talent and was so wonderful to work with. Here is some fun behind the scenes images from our shoot to tide you over until the series is released next month for Grumpy Magazine!

THE STUDIO
Extras
Pretty in Pink with 'Young Sheldon's' Raegan Revord
Ive been collaborating with Grumpy magazine for several months now so when the editor Jasmine Perrier contacted me to see if I’d be interested in working with Young Sheldons’ Raegan Revord, I of course said yes! Being a mom to a little boy I’ve been unfairly deprived of the dresses and bows and the pink! So needless to say, I was super excited to work with a little girl and I wanted to go as pink as possible!
I based the concept of this shoot around a big poofy skirt I got on Amazon and the studio I booked was seriously the perfect backdrop!
The stylist Amanda Lim (@itsamandalim) and I arrived early to set up and the outfits were just perfect! I mean just look at these…
Unfortunately there was some delays getting to the studio and we ended up only having 20 minutes to shoot but that’s the way these things go sometimes and we did an amazing job with the time that we had! Team work makes the dream work!
Look 1: Pretty in Pink
Look 2: Bellhop
Look 3: Florals and Stripes
Look 4: Lady Bug
As an artist, I left feeling a bit bummed at the lack of creativity I was able to execute during our time together however Im still very happy with the images we got and cant wait to share the series with you all when they’re released as a webinar at www.grumpymagazine.com later this week.
Behind the Scenes with Madison Iseman for Saturne Magazine
It takes a village to make any great project come together and luckily I have the best tribe around. Planning this shoot with actress Madison Iseman was so fun and I just knew it was going to be a killer day when it all came together.
I met Madison and her glam team at 10:30 am on Tuesday Sept 18th along with my wonderful stylist Shaina Feldman. Everyone got settled in for the two hours we had reserved and I was determined in getting 6 looks done in that time frame.
As usual, Shaina knocked it out of the park with her brilliant and unique looks which was so different to the space but somehow worked wonderfully. Madison and I were beyond excited to play around with the variety of vintage Versace, sequin shorts and faux furs.
The studio had so many awesome little sections to work with and I decided to start on the left side and work my way around to the windows ( praying the sunlight would shift by the time I got there because Holy Bright Light Batman!)
The first section was new to the studio and I was excited to break it in. We got Madison dolled up in this fabulous dress that looked like it was made for her! Just look at this angel!
Look 1: Angel Wing
Look 2: Breakfast Club
The second look was so fun and the blue just complimented Madison so so well!
Look Three: Sully
This faux fur jacket had everyone in heart eyes and it was tenderly dubbed as ‘Sully’.
Outfit 4: Daisy
This outfit was so cute and was giving me all those retro vibes in this space!
Look 5: Crosley and Versace
This was my personal favorite look of the day and it probably reflects in how many images I have from this portion of the photo shoot haha
Look 6: Canary
And our final look for the day <3 Madison look absolutely amazing in everything and was so easy to work with.
Im so proud of this series and cannot wait for you all to see the full gallery and publication when its released later this month.
Malibu Adventures with Emily Skinner
6 AM Monday morning; the California interstates are jam packed already and my glam team and I are in the thick of it. Why, you ask? Well, because we are on our way to spend the day with Disney star Emily Skinner and her beautiful momma Jennifer for an exclusive one on one photo shoot for Saturne Magazine.
We all started our day off early in anticipation of the long morning commute to beautiful Malibu California. My glam team got to the park right on time to greet Emily (thank god) because my gps hijacked the route and put me on the complete opposite side of the park--apparently my GPS thinks I'm adventurous...Im not. Luckily my glam team is amazing and got to work on transforming Emily for our day of creating.
When I finally arrived 45 minutes later (insert crying emoji here), my make up artist Hali McGowan and hairstylist Suzy Balderas were finishing up final touches on Emily and soon after, my stylist Nery Rodriguez arrived and started laying out all our clothing options!
Unfortunately there was a mix up with film permits and we were asked to leave the park and find a new location. CRINGE! It was beyond embarrassing and I almost didnt include this in the blog because of how embarrassing the moment was, but life is real and moments like this happen--not often thankfully, but they do and you have to overcome them. Luckily, I knew of a location about 20 minutes away so we all drove one by one to the new park. I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason and l honestly think we got better images at the new location than we ever would have got at the original location. Happy accidents yall, happy little miracles.
When we got to the new park and Emily did her fitting and choose five outfits to shoot in. Everyone grabbed various bags and props and we all started the mile and half trek though the Malibu canyon.
Everyone helped carry the load, and yup even little Emily back there did her part haha!!
We finished shooting right around 4:30 pm..(talk about a long day, am I right!?) but I honestly, I could have kept going because this park just had endless amounts of beauty and historical charm.
I am so excited to share this exclusive photo series with you all when it is released later this month in Saturne Magazine. In the meantime here are some outtakes and BTS to tide you over!
