Awash in the smell of pine and chaparral.

I’m absolutely a sensitive wreck when it comes to smells. Anything that smells too artificial sends me over the edge and I have a personal vendetta with a household cleaning products brand that I won’t name here.

I’d never heard of Juniper Ridge before, but their products smelled like all my favorite outside smells. I still use their products five years later. Halfway through the shoot I spotted Lucia’s turquoise nail polish and we stopped to do a quick manicure.
