Hi everyone!

I'm thrilled to share with you all that I've created another candle collaboration with NEST New York! After the success of last year's partnership, I was excited to work with NEST again to create this limited-edition collection. These stunning new products feature some of my favorite photography on the outer packaging of three bestselling NEST New York fragrances that together take you on a sensorial journey which you can enjoy from the comfort of your home! By pairing my fine art photography with NEST's best selling candle scents, you will truly be transported to these dreamy destinations and feel a serene sense of escape. It was so wonderful to work directly with Laura Slatkin and the NEST design team again to narrow down the design options to three different scents from two favorite destinations of mine:  Hawaii which is such a special place to me, as well as the stunning Amalfi Coast.

Each fragrance is housed in a very special limited-edition hand-blown glass vessel with color coordinated stripes, which we designed to be reminiscent of the umbrella patterns found in my aerial beach photography. See all three fragrances from the collection below and choose your favorite - shop now here! 

Amalfi Mint & Lemon

This fragrance and image pairing from the collection is meant to transport you to one of Italy's most breathtaking destinations.  I wanted to bring the scents in this signature candle to life, such as orange bergamot, zesty lemon, fresh mint, and a hint of driftwood. By merging the visual of my image from Italy with these classic scents, I know this one will have all of you dreaming of a glamorous Mediterranean holiday, complete with gorgeous days spent at the beach, delicious Italian food, and the effortless joy that Italy exudes.

Ocean Mist & Sea Salt

Waikiki is such a magical Hawaiian destination. This photograph was taken from a door-less helicopter over this breathtaking beach while I captured surfers mid-wave gliding along the vibrant blue water. The title of the scent completely encapsulates the feeling that this photograph evokes and together they create a totally unique and immersive experience.  With hints of sea salt, white tea and coconut, the calming and serene fragrance is perfect for anyone looking to bring home the feeling of a relaxing island escape.

Sicilian Tangerine

The image that accompanies this collection was so enjoyable to capture - I worked on a vintage inspired project at one of my favorite hotels in Hawaii, the Mauna Kea. It was so fun to use props such as retro surfboards, which allowed me to create a feeling of vintage glamor. The timelessness of this image is complimented perfectly with the Sicilian Tangerine scent, bringing to life notes of paradise with juicy Sicilian tangerine, bergamot, exotic mango, and passionfruit.
