Spinelle Jewelers Marketplace Front Cover








Last evening I photographed Lori Wear, owner of Spinelle Jewelers, for the February cover of Napa Valley Marketplace Magazine.  Lori and Jalia, her right hand person, always come in with a fabulous concept.  Jalia has an amazing design eye and puts together the props.  For this cover, Spinelle is celebrating five years in business.  Here are my six top contenders for the cover.  What do you think?  I have no idea what Lori and Jalia's favorites are.  I should mention that the final product will be rendered by Julia Allen of Folia Design.  She's the best!

A sweet note from Lori....

Suzanne,  As usual, it was a total blast and you brought the cheerful out of me for a great shoot.  I am sooooo excited to see the proofs!  I makes me so happy that I have you and Julia to make our vision come out above and beyond our expectations!  I feel so blessed.  Jalia's make on the dress was no less than amazing as well.  So much fun!

Thanks for being so great!  You are absolutely the best photographer I have ever worked with!

Hi Suzanne
I've been following your blog for a bit, really enjoying your updates. You're quite dynamic!
Since you asked, I love that last photo with just a bit of icing on her finger. Because she's SO surrounded by pink, I like that shot because she's a bit bigger in the frame and in a natural, playful pose. For me, I want to see her features. Just my two cents!
Keep up the beautiful work!

First off - love the newsletter and the blog! Second, I love the last image the most...the curve on her hand with the frosting is divine. It's playful and fun and makes me really interested in the shot...while all the shots are nice - this one is fantastic because it portrays the occasion (5 year anniversary) and the culture and brand in a way that makes you want more!

Best wishes,
