This August Constance McCardle knew it was time to produce a photo shoot to photograph some of her recent one-of-a-kind fashion designs. Jean Sweet, photographer from Chicago, traveled to Ossining, NY to Constance’s home and studio to shoot the collection pieces on location. Constance’s beautiful gardens provided a perfect background and her home interior provided a convenient backdrop for studio shots. From one two day shoot production, Constance was able to get images with an eclectic mix of mood and themes.
