BEHIND
THE COVER

T

here’s nothing like fresh perspective to inspire creativity.
We’ve gotten a phenomenal response to our new look and name –
thank you! This is the “People” issue. For us, that meant introducing you to interesting local people. Hopefully they are all new to
you. There’s an artist, a music man and a group of guys responsible
for one of the largest arts districts in the nation. Along with a Jesuit
priest, twins, an energy executive, a real estate developer and his
marketing daughter and a handful of what I like to call social media
power gals.
They are all inspirational and the city is lucky to have them.
Please keep following us @local_houston for invites,
updates and more.
Keep it LOCAL!
Love,

Carla Valencia de Martinéz

There was so much magic and light at our cover
shoot. The subjects were identical twins,
Caroline and Courtney, just a pair of local sisters, one of whom had given birth to her own
set of identical twin girls just weeks before.
COLLIN KELLEY shot the cover with wife and stylist
LESLIE RIVAS combining patterns influenced by
the 70s. BIANCA LINETTE worked her magic with
hair and makeup incorporating flowers into
crowns. The concept was influenced by Frida
Kahlo's The Two Fridas.
