Sharon Haver & Brad Boles

Sharon Haver and Brad Boles have been collaborating for years.

They met on their first cover shoot for VOGUE Mexico, "back in the day," as Brad likes to call it. They continued to booked as part of fab fashion trio for photo shoots- Sharon as the fashion stylist, Brad on makeup, and the late North Rebis on hair.
