This morning I met with a client of mine, Socrati.  Owners Sava and Stella Trimmis are such wonderful people with great passion and love for their shoe and accessories store which has five locations in South Africa.

This is their first US store located in Scottsdale Fashion Square (Scottsdale, Ariz.) that is just breathtaking: 

This photo was taken by Wes Johnson, a wonderfully talented friend of mine who I worked closely with at The Arizona Republic.  Wes kept long shoots fun and sweet, and I recall the days we’d have our own mini-shoots in the studio with the borrowed clothes.  I smile at those memories and I cannot say enough wonderful things about him.  His photographs are beautifully displayed throughout the site, take a peek.

Currently we’ll be working on adding some of the latest spring/summer styles to Socrati’s website so out-of-towners can call the store to order (free shipping!). Stay tuned for that.
