It’s time for the Golden Globes red carpet recap! We took a look at the fashion this past Wednesday, noticing the color trend of the moment with all of the lovely ladies of Hollywood showing up in beautiful blush gowns! You would think with such a soft, neutral color there would be more accessorizing!

So here’s our rundown of our favorite part of red carpet fashion: the jewelry!

I had the amazing privilege of photographing Christa Black this past weekend. She was in town to play a show with Grant Terry at Coda Bar & Grill in Monroe, LA. Her wonderful husband Luke,(whom I happened to go to college with) set up the shoot, and I was thrilled to get the chance to work with her!
Christa is a ridiculously talented woman! She is a singer/songwriter as well as a violinist. She has opened for the likes of the Jonas Brothers and has toured with Christian artist Michael W. Smith.

Actress Kristin Bauer of “True Blood” fame has an annual ritual when she visits her family home in Racine, Wis.: She takes a black marker and scribbles on the sides of specific products and cosmetics, “Tested on animals.”

We’re not saving a life.”
As a spokeswoman for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a nonprofit health organization whose goals include promoting animal-free testing, Bauer has a mission: to get more people to use makeup and toiletries that have not been tested on rabbits, guinea pigs, mice or rats.
