The start of a new relationship can be an exciting but uneasy time for anyone. And there are, undoubtedly, some awkward but necessary stages we all have to go through to, ‘test the waters’, as it were. Shall I..? Do I…? Will they freak out if I…?

After spending the day in the Hollywood Hills with Stella, it was clear she wasn’t interested in getting mixed up with the “It Girls” of Hollywood but rather stay true to herself and let the advice of older sister Vanessa guide her way. As our shoot progressed conversation moved to her summer plans and excitement for her collaboration, “I’m excited for Summer because I just love feeling free and warm.”. She certainly embodied this sentiment throughout our shooting, laughing while shooting swimwear in a vintage car, climbing on a rickety slide to get the perfect shot and talking in depth about her inspiration behind the collection.
