Hello everyone! Here's the 'behind the scenes' video that Curtis made of our end-of-2021 photoshoot at Lalande. You'll see Lalande through his eyes - dramatic music, moody shots, and a brooding intensity rarely seen in my videos. I love it! I love the way Lalande changes depending on the eye of the beholder. 

Working with Curtis was a joy. He brought his vision - dressing me in rarely-seen black, and off-setting my joyful Villioti gown against the unfinished, raw backdrop of the grand salon. For me, those grand salon shots are a perfect representation of the occasional moments of introspection as I am awestruck by my sense of responsibility for all of the Lalanders, for my viewers and patrons, and above all, for this chateau.

I'm amazed at how Curtis captured my innermost feelings - which is why I'm so happy to share this photoshoot with you. My favourite photo is the one that I gave to you on my previous 'Happy New Year' post, and below I've added a pick of the other shots.

Lots of love,

Stephanie x

PS Though I'm not sure I've forgiven him for making me balance on a 3 inch windowsill for what seemed like an eternity ;)

A beautiful Lady in a beautiful Château. Loved you in black although that’s not the norm for you. Cannot wait to see the same photos next year with the complete panelling. Does anyone else think you and Curtis have similar 👀 eyes, beautiful big blue eyes.❣️🥰🥰

Oh wow! Absolutely stunning. You are truly a beautiful girl, both inside and out, and Curtis has captured that perfectly. Thank you. 💕

Very beautiful and so interesting to see LaLande through Curtis R W’s lens! Stunning work

The look reminds me of Kylie Minogue - the soft hair with smokey eyes, jeans and amazing heels. A definite style that you wear effortlessly in the video Stephanie! It’s beautiful!

So beautiful. Watching with my kids, great demonstration how art in one place can look so different from each unique point of view. The girls say you look like a real princess, and I said well you are in a way, truly the peoples princess, we've chosen to celebrate you and your home and ask you for endless inspiration and spark a lust for living we all need.

What a wonderful surprise! I say surprise, because the photoshoot has given us a glimpse of "the many faces of Stephanie Jarvis". At first I didn't recognize you Stephanie. I said to myself, "It HAS to be Stephanie, but it doesn't LOOK like Stephanie". I don't mean that in a bad way at all. The shape of your face seemed different. Part of it is the fact that in the vlogs you are in motion, part of it is that you rarely wear makeup that accentuates your eyes so much or for that matter 'sculpts your face so much, part of it is that you you are almost always smiling or laughing in the vlogs. It's as if Curtus has given us another set of eyes through which to see you and the Chateau. What an artist he is! Thank you Curtis and Stephanie!🇨🇦

Curtis is so talented and I thoroughly enjoyed his vision of LaLande - Bravissimo! Curtis skillfully captured an air of wistful melancholy in your expression and especially in your eyes.

What a story one could write to this video. A story of heartbreak and a Chatelaine having to abandon her chateau after the war left it in ruins and took the love of her life with it. Finding one last peacock feather with which to wipe her tears.

What a fabulous gown that is. The workmanship is beautiful. I prefer the vivid lips you usually wear, though. The nude lip may be the current trend, but your look is more "you". You are not a goth - and that's a good thing :-)

Thank you for sharing. I love the different vibe Curtis brought. He is very talented! And Stephanie - you look amazing! I love the simple black and the hallway shots. It is almost hard to see you this way - so dark and moody. And the yellow dress against the construction background was just gorgeous. And even here with the yellow gown, he is showing you in a way that is so different from your usual. Thank you Curtis for the Visual!❤️❤️❤️

Curtis is the real deal Stephanie, he’s an artist, and I love his sense of humor. Having you drag a bound Christmas tree around the deconstructed Grand Salon in a ball gown is both funny and symbolic of your effort and burden to fulfill everyone’s expectations for the Advent vlogs and private celebrations. Being told to ”Arch your back” on the 3” windowsill is a vastly more polite version of what my Mother would say to me which was “titties up!”

There is beauty everywhere when we choose to see it. The images and music evoked such an emotional response in me. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video, and to Curtis for his artistry.

Curtis' view on Lalande is very different - so dramatic, also the use of the music. I like that for a change very much. But in the long run I prefer your usual relaxed, open and optimistic style.

Anonymous

Absolutely, agree totally on what skills he has, just so talented. Gorgeous photos and Stephanie, was pictured a side not seen at all. Thanks for sharing. Defiantly, defiantly framed one somewhere in the chateau. I also feel one of the owners, and framed for an area in chateau. Maybe if you can get one of the former chateau owners to leave for history.

Perfect styling Curtis. So ephemeral, so sixties and, dare I say, Bardotesque in some of the broodier, smokier shots. I love the hair look Stephanie and black suits you amazingly. Great collaboration.

The makeup is fabulous. In the photo in the hall by the window where you're wearing black and in profile you really looks like Brigitte Bardot. Just stunning photos!

Beautiful, evocative and classic but I prefer the joyful, unique you - who can run around with her hair in a towel and a half eaten croissant in one hand and still be beautiful.

WOW...First Curtis is incredibly talented and second, Stephanie I think the black eyeliner on you whether you are in your favourite bright colours or in black is simply stunning on you. It gives a depth to your already beautiful face!!

Anonymous

The drama and moodiness of Curtis's photos and video make perfect sense to me - one does not end the Miss Havisham years without toil and pain, and pretending that things are magically better would be a fairy tale. What you do so well is share much of the true cost of achieving one's realized dreams - hard work, postponed plans, the unexpected - AND the beauty of doing so. Thus the ballgowns amongst the insulation, the crumbling facade soon to be renewed, and the dark jumper perhaps symbolizing the weight of living through a pandemic and the loss or absence of loved ones. Plus it does set off your lovely hair very well! Bravo to both of you and your loved ones for such a lovely project!

Just shows how styling and make up and photography can portray things and people completely differently. The power of 'images' which we are constantly surrounded by. Yes there was some beauty in these shots and I loved the yellow contrasting the raw grey stone and maybe an insight into a narrow aspect of Stephanie and la Lande but I also found it contrived and definitely prefer the layers of character and colours of different aspects of yourself and La lande which you so naturally convey through your videos Stephanie.

Anonymous

I especially loved the pics of you looking out the window, wearing the yellow dress. I think, in these days of selfies, that we under-appreciate the professional photographer/videographer. The extra artistic vision and insight really shows through! This was amazing! Thank you and Curtis for sharing with us!

Love the edgy glamour curated through the moody drama. The simply elegant hair and wardrobe styling for the black ensemble is perfection.

This was incredible! A true work of art, and we got to watch the process.
