Kristen Von Foxx is a shamanic healer and soul retrieval specialist. She blends indigenous healing rituals, astrology and creative arts therapies with psychotherapeutic techniques in her private practice. She assists clients who are burnt out, stuck in negative patterns and want to break out of old blocks to live in alignment with their power, passion and truth (um, we may need her everyday!)
As a shamanic healer, astrologer and energy worker Kristen finds she gets the best results when she adds crystals to the mix in her healing sessions.
"I love precious gemstones and I have to admit they’re master healers and have done miraculous things for me and my healing clients in my practice. Not only are gemstones absolutely beautiful but they also have wonderful healing properties and can work wonders on the human body!"
ABOVE: Labradorite Solo Claw Ring and the Labradorite and Topaz Siren Ring
"I love Labradorite because it’s the stone of the Shaman and of the Seer. It’s a really amazing stone for psychic protection and allows wanted to go into Meditation, Shamanic States of consciousness (i.e. journey states) and assists them in protecting their auric field as they do so. A lot of people use the stone for scribing which means if they look into it and ask questions and see the images that come up I can answer their questions."
ABOVE: Customized Tanzanite Savoy Ring and Customized Amethyst Sunrise Ring
"One of my favorite stones to work with is Amethyst. It’s a wonderful stone for opening up the higher Chakras from the Third Eye and the crown upwards. It’s a really great stone for offering protection to those working with it and I have found that even when my Third Eye's stuck, meaning I’ve been having trouble visioning for myself or for my clients, that just putting Amethyst on my Third Eye seems to open me up instantly."
ABOVE: Gold Watermelon Tourmaline Frise Ring
"Another one of my top favorite stones is Tourmaline. Black Tourmaline is the most common and popular of the tourmaline family but I also really love watermelon tourmaline because it’s absolutely beautiful and carries many of he same healing properties as black tourmaline. Tourmaline is a really great stone for psychic protection and it works differently from the other protection stones. Tourmaline is able to transmute energy so instead of absorbing it or taking it on it actually transforms it from anything negative and amplifies it with positive energy. This is my go-to stone for working on clearing negative energies from clients and assisting them in releasing the lower vibrational energy that can get stuck on even the nicest, kindest people."
ABOVE: Opal and Topaz Angels Teardrop Ring and the Gold Open Diamond Ring
"Another one of my favorite gemstones is Opal. Not only is it the gem stone for October, my birth month (hello Libras and Scorpios!) it’s also very good for helping to balance and soothe ones energies (which is very Libran)." Kristen's Favorite La Kaiser Piece is the Opal & Diamond Butterfly Ring
"Crystals have been such wonderful partners in helping clear and heal my clients energies while I’m working on them. They’ve been great helpers because they’ve got their own healing talents. I place them on and around my clients while working with them and I usually throw a bunch in my healing pouch, in my bra, and try to wear the stones in jewelry because they keep working on you all the time that way."

The day started early with pulling at least 5 different looks for our model; Leanna Blythewood. Once we had all the different wardrobe looks covered, make up artist - Kelli Milner took over and got our model squared away with a gorgeous natural look.
We then all jumped in the back of the pick up truck and headed out to the photoshoot location in the Mukuvusi Woodlands.
We drove around the woodlands till we stumbled upon the perfect location (filled with gorgeous Msasa trees, long dry grass and giraffe in the background!). We had a local guide accompany us during the shoot, as we were shooting in the wild with little wildlife experience (which isn't the safest thing to do!)
Never easy getting the perfect shot - but our skilled team made is so enjoyable and it was smooth sailing throughout the day.
We had so much fun incorporating a few props into the shoot, like this teal colored vintage inspired ottoman. Who would expect a scene like this; out in the wilderness and in the middle of nowhere and you suddenly come across a gorgeous model adorned in jewelry and casually lying on an elegantly designed ottoman?! The overall aesthetic of this particular shot was to emphasize contemporary yet classic design through all elements/setting and positioning.
In typical "Zimbabwean-esque" manner; our guide and team members took turns to sit back, chill, crack open a beer and take in the beauty that lay in front of our eyes. Chilling under the shade of a large Msasa tree with a cold beer and cool breeze was definitely as refreshing as it sounds!!!
As dusk started to set in our photographer - Michelle Fortman - took full advantage of the magnificent golden hour that transcended. As the light started to disappear further, Michele used the light box to create the most magnificent shots with our model draped in sheer white cloth and standing amidst a fallen tree. A truly exhilarating, contemporary and unique shot.
All of the photos from our African photo shoot were nothing short of amazing. Below are a few of my personal favorites! Thank you to the whole team for a fabulous day

Inspired by the "Scottish Fairytale Series" by Scottish based Wedding Photographer Roma Elizabeth Photography, we decided to send a few pieces of the La Kaiser Collection on a wee adventure...
(don't worry, they came back in tact, just a tad bit cold)
]]>Roma Elizabeth Photography combines romance with scenic beauty. Inspired by Fairytales in Mythical lands every image is a moment of wonder, each composition a trinket of bliss, perhaps a forgotten dream, perhaps a promise missed.
We worked with some amazing couples to create the most beautiful engagement sets in 2017.
Here are a few really special one's we wanted to share with you!
Thank you to the gorgeous couples below for letting us be a part of your love story!
Is it for now or for always,
The world hangs on a stalk?
Is it a trick or a trysting-place,
The woods we have found to walk?
Is it a mirage or miracle,
Your lips that lift at mine:
And the suns like a juggler's juggling-balls,
Are they a sham or a sign?
Shine out, my sudden angel,
Break fear with breast and brow,
I take you now and for always,
For always is always now.

As our beautiful model, Siya, is from Arusha in Tanzania, of course her favorite La Kaiser piece is the 14kt Gold Tanzanite & Opal Rainbow Curve Pendant.
It is believed that the gemstone Tanzanite was discovered by Manuel d'Souza in the Mirerani Hills of Manyara Region in Northern Tanzania in 1967, near the city of Arusha and Mount Kilimanjaro.
Tanzanite is the blue and violet variety of the mineral Zoisite. Tiffany coined the trade name Tanzanite instead of selling the material under the mineralogical name of "blue zoisite" (nice move Tiff)
Tanzanite has become the second most popular blue gem after Sapphire and is the December birthstone. It is called the Stone of Magic and is said to relieve stress and promote calm, balance and harmony in one's life (so I suggest you locate some asap!)
