Canyon Life Magazine

Our actual 2 year birthday at our Franklin Village location was June 6 but we didn't get around to throwing the fiesta until July 20. Hoo rah! Like the sign says there was custom embroidery made to order by Cecile @cecil.b.moxie on her 100 year old Singer, traditional henna art designs inked by Katie @kitty 007 and DJ Short Shorts @DJshortshorts spinning "Nutbush City Limits" and other requests and surprise deep cuts. All this plus a sweet discount brought the people out to our best sales day 'n' night ever! Thank you to all of you who made it and continue to make it happen. See you next year! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beachwood is one of a dozen or so canyons running south from the crest of the Santa Monica Mountains on LA’s northern border with the San Fernando Valley. It’s well known as the gateway to the Hollywood sign. One of the Hollywood Hills original neighborhoods developed in the ‘20’s, it’s a quiet enclave that keeps its rustic vibe though only blocks away from Hollywood traffic and big city action. It’s also where we shot our last session with Julia at Cyn and Dean’s house. Check these outtakes and selects for a taste of Canyon life.

On one of her visits to our store, McKenzie Rollins mentioned she was an equestrian (English style) rider and that she currently competes and teaches out of The Mill Creek Equestrian Center in Topanga Canyon. We thought “How cool is that?” and that it would make a good setting for our next shoot. She was game and it was on! FYI, McKenzie is currently ranked #1 Adult Rider and Frankie is #1 in the US  Training division (US Eventing Association, American Eventing Championships - 2018. A definite power couple!

Summer's here and the time is right for a morning walk in the park. Rachel and Julia can't wait to try out new summer outfits in the wild, so they head up the canyon to nearby Bronson Canyon Park to climb beech trees and dance barefoot chasing shade.

From moving to New York City by way of Mississippi with $50 in her pocket to making a jump across the country and settling in Los Angeles, we follow Elle's lead when she sets her mind on an adventure. This free-spirited healer explorer, and stylist...

Finally! We’re looking forward to seeing a draft lease on our Hollywood location. It’s been a long time coming. We looked at locations in Auburn in Northern California (yes we thought about relocating – whatever it takes – but figured the market there wasn’t ready for our vibe).
