Organizing a photo shoot is never a simple task, especially when you're dealing with Natalia Fabia and a crew of beautiful divas. Juxtapoz went down to the home of photographer Kristin Burns in Los Angeles to help direct the photo shoot for Natalia's August 2009 feature. Needless to say, the day was full of sparkles, clothes, makeup, and lots of posing. See how it all went down in behind the scenes photos.

Natalia had a vision from the get-go (“I want my girls wearing lots of layers; very whimsical”) and so we head over to the home of Kristin Burns for a day-long photo shoot. Kristin is a highly respected photographer in the industry, having shot everyone from The Smashing Pumpkins to Soulja Boy; Duran Duran to Tila Tequila.

Natalia grabbed her friends Amy Hateley, Vanessa Burgundy, Teresa Trujillo-Hayman, Angelique Groh, and Natalie Chediak, and got crackin’. Teresa worked some magic with make-up, while Natalie took care of the hair during an extensive preparation session.

After the ladies were all dolled up, things got moving. We went for a sexy, fun, voyeuristic look- true to the nature of Natalia’s paintings! We could go on and on, but we’ll simply let the images do all the talking.
