If you do not know PPB you really should. When I was pregnant with Matty one of the things I obsessed over was finding a cool [refused to call it diaper bag] carry all. I'm the girl who does things a little different. I found my wedding dress from a couture house on Madison Ave and designed my own prom dress in the style of a 1920's flapper. I just can't carry around any old bag all day long. As it turned out I never found anything worthy so I mostly utilized a black messenger bag and strapped it to the stroller [or my husband] when ever I could. If it was in the era of PPB a Cake Cosmo would have been on my arm everyday.

Sneak peak of things to come..... stay tuned!

Pay off

Creating images as an artist and running a biz around it is not always easy. But look at those eyes and killer smile. All the hard work and artist's revelations are all worth it to capture a spirit like this.

NYC Kid's Fashion & Commercial photographer shoots Zoocchini Inc!!

New York kid's modeling industry... look out!

I had the pleasure of shooting this handsome boy one day last month and the next thing I know he's picked up by one of my favorite NYC children's modeling agencies. Congratulations JR! Now we have to hurry and shoot more for his comp card. Can't wait!

Summer In Winter for a day...

One reason I love commercial photography is that when I'm doing fashion it's all about the next season to come. Spring!!! In this cold dead of winter I really needed something to remind me that there will be a day again soon when I can go outside for more than 8 minutes.

We just shot the recent Denny's Spring/Summer/Camp campaign at the home studio and it was a big sunny success. Yes it was, as my assistant said on her blog, riddled with technical problems all day. Like the 3,000 dollar (rented!) strobe pack dying. And my new Mark 2 camera being so new that it wasn't compatible with Live Capture yet... but that's what I am so good at. Making things work when they don't. As a producer I used to put out fires and pull things out of my @$$ for over 10 years. Throw a problem at me and I'll solve it toot sweet. So when the client showed up at 8:30 am and informed me that our 1st model had bailed, I made one phone call to my very good friend and 10 minutes later we were graced with Lindsy Cohen as our 1st model of the day! Thanks Candace!!!

It was a full day of shorts, summer dresses, camp accessories and dancing to Beyonce's Single Ladies... thankfully I knew the words and that made my little models laugh up a storm.

This is my 4th shoot with Denny's and their ad agency and I really love working with them. Shout out to Joyce, Adam, Lauren, Jody, Tara, Krista, Spencer & Kathy. A team that makes it work no matter what happens. And people that I genuinely like.

What happened to summer & fall?

Yes I have been blog missing. Haven't posted anything since May. I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Like being too busy to post. Or a bad thing, like just laziness. But really who cares! Cause I've got pictures!!!

OK I've had some really great shoots and some not so great shoots. But all have taught me something great and wonderful. Like if you try hard enough you can illuminate a face beautifully with just one great studio light.

So I have a bunch of great stuff to show you. Let me know what you think!
