I’m excited to share this month’s cover of Desert Magazine with this beauty, Shafia West.  We headed out to the desert not too long ago to shoot this feature with an amazing team of women.  We shot around a little place called Makerville – an artist collective space in the most beautiful desert/mountain setting out in the Santa Rosa wild.

The shoot was styled by the amazing Leslie – I will try to give you links to the pieces that you can purchase, but some pieces came from her amazing closet/kit, some are vintage, and some came from vendors she works with.  Scroll down for more details :).
