Featuring: Interior Designer Gigi Harris

Gigi and I met because she bid on and won a Be Beautiful session I donated to the San Clemente Junior Women's Club.  She wanted to use the session with her beautiful daughter Karly.  Photographing Karly and Gigi was wonderful because the closeness they share is palatable and they made it easy to capture.  Since then, not only have we done Gigi's business portrait (she's the incoming president of ASID Orange County) but we've gotten together to talk about our businesses and we've even gotten our daughters together for a playdate.  Last week I photographed one of Gigi's newly finished spaces--a beautiful room created as a study space.  Her use of color and texture in the room is stunning and I found myself yearning for a remodel of my own office space! Gigi used warm gray and distressed gray-washed furniture and finishes as a backdrop to custom upholstery and accessories in pops of vibrant citrus, chartreuse and slate blue.  Her mix of patterns in the room added interest on top of the fun and sophisticated color palette.  If you'd like to know more about Gigi and her work, you can find her at kaizeninteriors.com.
