I recently shot the campaign for a very cool new mattress company called Bear Mattress. If you are in the market for a new mattress I highly recommend you checking them out:
Back in April we returned to Palm Springs. Something about the dry heat, palm trees, architecture and beautiful views makes me very happy. We've stayed at this property a couple of times before and each time I'm there I can't stop photographing the grounds and all of the beauty. I recently read someones review on how Palm Springs is luxurious yet quirky. That explains it to a T and maybe why I love it so much.
Food styling and photography is a great interest of mine so as soon as I heard that Aran Goyoaga from the well-known food blog Cannelle et Vanille would be in town doing a food styling and photography workshop, I jumped at the chance. Knowing it would be at Karen Mordechai's gorgeous Sunday Supper's Williamsburg studio space sealed the deal for me. It's always a treat to be there.
You can see more from the weekend on my instagram feed.
A few weeks ago Lea Valle launched her new Paleo cookbook called Sweet Paleo at The Squirrel and the Bee in Short Hills. What's so great about the book is that even if you don't follow a paleo diet, the deserts and sweets are out of this world. You can buy it here.
A good part of 2014 was spent working with Heather Cundey, editor of The Scout Guide - Northern New Jersey, to create Volume 1 of The Scout Guide, Northern NJ. Each photo shoot we did of the business owners, entrepreneurs and artisans was unique and special. Below are some of my favorite spreads.
The guide will be available in shops and businesses through the Northern NJ area. In the meantime I would love to give away some copies of the book. Comment below with your name and email and I will follow up with you.
Special thanks to Heather Cundey (editor), Felicia Geller (Stylist) and Helaine Winer (Social Media) for being an great team to work with.
I always love shooting mini sessions at Murray & Finn because the backdrop is simple and the main focus is just the children. These kiddos brought their favorite lovies, dollies and in one case his favorite soccer ball to the shoot and we had a great time. Sometimes just 15 minutes is all you need to get a few sweet images of your children at this time of their lives. I actually just read a quote today from Reese Witherspoon that she recently said in an interview. She said, "Take one nice picture of the kids every year. It's important that they feel loved, cherished, and remembered for each year of their lives. Plus, it's a great tradition for them to have with their own families one day too." I couldn't agree more Reese!
I'll be announcing a day of Mother's Day minis at Murray & Finn in the upcoming weeks. Make sure you like my Facebook page and put your name on my mailing list (to the left here <<---) to get first dibs!
I absolutely *loved* how my client came in wearing the same outfit as she did for her maternity photos. What a fun idea to document the "before" and "after" photos. I was so happy to meet this little guy as he is one special little boy. Huge congratulations to the three of you!
