Behind the scenes of a spring & summer catalogue

I recently finished shooting the spring and summer catalogues for Ezibuy in Sydney and we managed to find ourselves in some truly beautiful and magical places.

See the location shots below where you gain an insight in to the crews and my days at work.

Glowing green

Happy 2014 to you! Hope you’ve had a great start to the New Year.

The holiday break was short and sweet with a lot of yummy food and delicious wine celebrated and consumed with family and friends.

With the festive season so recently behind us, it was back to work on Monday shooting for Ezibuy in Sydney, Australia. It was time to return to healthy eating habits like drinking Kimberly Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie for breakfast.

I make and drink it when I’m home and not on ‘holiday’ or traveling as it’s challenging to do so. Most of the time is good for me and then I have it made at a juice bar when I come across one during my travels.

Not only does it taste good, it does good for your complexion and health. I love it. At least I know it’s a fabulous and healthy start to my day.

Kimberly Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie

Ingredients
12-16 oz filtered water
1 head romaine lettuce
1 cup spinach
3 celery stalks
1 apple (cored)
1 pear
1 banana
Juice of ½ lemon
1 cup ice (if desired)

Instructions
Place all the ingredients in the blender jar in the order listed.
Turn on your blender (Vitamix is one of the best to use) and quickly increase the speed to HIGH.
Run the blender for at least two minutes or until the ingredients are completely smooth.

Serves: 5-6 cups.

For more beauty tips, healthy recipes etc. from Kimberly, please see below.

Do you have your own recipe of a ‘green smoothie’ you love? If so, what is it?

What healthy breakfast can you not go without?

Next up, I’m back to the US of A. I hope the great freeze will be well and truly over! Fingers crossed… Till next time.

Where and what is Bare Island?

On Monday we started shooting Modern Curve for Ezibuy in and around Sydney. Today is day three and it was still dark for our 5.30am call time. It was a beautiful day spent on the foreshores of Sydney – it was warm, sunny and windy.

Our location was Bare Island, La Perouse. It is a small island south-east of Sydney, not far from Botany Bay. The historic military fort and tunnels can be visited by guided tour and the waters around the island are popular with scuba divers. The island was featured in Mission: Impossible II… Who knew? There is also a nudist beach within walking distance to enjoy if that is your thing.

Our location van stood out like a sore thumb in the parking lot and immediately became our base camp. Abby Valdez and I had our hair and make-up done by Richard Kavanagh and Linda Jefferyes respectively, before we trekked down to the footbridge and waters edge to start shooting for the day.

Sydney – Bare Island, La Perouse

There were many people coming and going, mainly on foot. Occasionally, the islands visitors would stop and take in what the Ezibuy, Modern Curve team were shooting and doing. We saw people from all over the world interested in seeing the old military fort up close.

We went about our business, oblivious mostly to the stares and interest of others. There were scuba divers, fisherman, tourists and cyclists. Bare Island is a busy place it turns out to be.

A couple of my favourite pieces were a blue pair of skinny jeans and a black pair of pants with zipper detail. There is a lot of colour in the Modern Curve Winter catalogue.
