There are people with whom you’d love to work just because of their own talent and work ethic. For me, Crystel Hilton is one of these people, so I was excited to do a photoshoot for one of her new lines of accessories.

Location
Botanic Gardens is a good location for this type of shoot. It’s in a centralized location (near Roseau) and affords models and crew abundant shade to prepare. The background options are all fairly interesting and diverse.
Here are a few behind-the-scenes shots from the day:
