Spring is one of the best season for capturing the beauty of  our natural surroundings. Here are some advance preview of our latest lookbook photo shoot taken in Palos Verdes and some in the studio.  Thanks so much to talented  Dylan Kronen , Mathilda Bernmark and our beautiful model  Sasha Zimnitsky !
