I had the privilege of working with yet another wonderful boutique here in historic downtown Paris. Monday afternoon's photo shoot was featuring lounge and daywear from a local gem, Maggie's la Boutique de Paris! I was thrilled to be meeting the models (and my new friends), teacher and socialite, Mariah Graham (who I just adore) and runway model, Gin Cooley.

Anyways, you can find Maggie's on facebook and see all the photos from our session on Everyday Charming's FB fan page.

Some people believe in being born lucky or destine to a perfect life. The kind of life where everyone sports a thick head of USA-Network-hair, have wildly talented children and pristinely straight pearly whites - naturally...This crew felt more like best friends then it did a family of three teenagers, a five year old and their fun-loving parents.
