Are they shoes or art? The correct answer is both, of course! Alexander McQueen creates the most amazing footwear, absolutely fab. The pictures below are from one of his shows. Check out his website to see some of his more wearable designs.
Thanksgiving- what a beautiful holiday! One day set aside for the sole purpose of taking time to realize how very blessed we all are. One day could never be enough time for me to really go thru my list of blessings. But here are a few big ones:
-I'm thankful for every little struggle, every misstep. They make me who I am.
-I'm thankful that I get to be an artist for a living.
-I'm thankful for the color of the ocean.
-I'm thankful for the crisp air outside.
-I'm thankful for my books.
-I'm thankful for bestest friends that are more like family with each passing day.
-I'm thankful for my family. (Just look at my mom and dad and baby bro below: aren't they the cutest?)
-I'm so very thankful that God loves little old me, even though I'm far from deserving.
This Thanksgiving day, why not try thinking of a new blessing every hour? What a list you'd have by the end of the day. Full of important things, really important things.On this very special Thursday , enjoy the fall, enjoy your family, enjoy your friends. Enjoy the start of the holiday season, enjoy pulling on that winter coat, enjoying laughing at old jokes. And for heaven's sake, whatever you do, enjoy the turkey, too!
When Camron and Alena told me their plan for a fashion-inspired shoot at the Domain, I couldn't help but think: what a fabulous idea! We had a great time striking some serious poses, perfecting the strut and properly showing off that Vuitton bag. You guys look amazing!
SPA, or Senior Portrait Artists, is an organization for professional photographers that keeps participating studios up to date with all the latest trends in high school senior photography. Every year, they have a model competition and choose 15 seniors from the world to participate in shoots by some of the best photographers in the country as well as to walk the catwalk at SPA's annual fashion show. Last year, we were thrilled to have our entry, Miss Holli Hartman, be one of those special 15. We are so excited this morning to have found out that Kamal Nassif, our entry this year, is one of the finalists. Winners will receive an all-expense paid trip to San Diego. VIP treatment of course! You can see Kamal on the SPA model site here.
We've got our fingers crossed for our girl- won't you join us? Good luck, Kamal!
My trip to California was actually to help out a friend (that would be Viviana from the shoots I shared with you a few days ago) photograph her first wedding. I think we did a great job and she is well on her way to being a huge success! I stuck with the beautiful bride for most of the day- check out some of my images from before and after the ceremony. I'll be sure and let you know when Viviana's website is up and running so you can see her work.
I didn't get to post as much as I wanted to while I was gone so, I have some catching up to do! Of course, I had a camera in my hand most of the time. Here are a few of my faves from a couple shoots I did for my friend Viviana while staying with her in Palo Alto. We shot everywhere: in San Fran, at the beach in Monterey and in Palo Alto itself. Of course, I thoroughly enjoyed her doggies Matty and Kodi. Thanks, Vivi for an amazing time!
As some of you know, I flew into San Fransisco last night. I will be co-shooting a wedding in a few days, taking in the sights and visiting a friend. What an amazing first day yesterday was! I got here (still in the morning, California time), hugged my friend, met the bride, saw the church, saw the mansion where the reception will be, and as a special surprise, got to see Wicked! What a beautiful show and great first day. Needless to say, I slept really well last night! I will be keeping you updated on my trip and all of my little adventures. If you need anything, shoot me an email or leave a voicemail as I will be checking in while I'm gone. Here's the playbill from last night- it has to be the most colorful and pretty show I've seen yet.
We had to search for parking, dodge a lot of pedestrians and walk quite a bit but Camille's downtown shoot was definitely worth it. Just take a look at some of her picks and I know you'll agree. With those amazing big blue eyes and that too cute haircut, how could I go wrong?
I know you've all heard the original by Beyonce but you gotta check this one out. I totally dig it! Visit Pomplamoose's YouTube channel here.
I had such a great time with Jordan, her sister Morgan and her mom. I knew Jordan and I would get along famously when I found out how important her heels are to her and that her favorite actress is Audrey Hepburn. She even went to Tiffany's in NYC in homage to the classic movie. Jealous! We had to dodge a few raindrops this past weekend but it was definitely worth it. Just take a look- these ladies are fabulous!

Have you ever taken a look at the Vogue publications for countries other than ours? If not, you definitely should. I am completely addicted to Vogue Italia. I was doing some surfing today and came across Vogue Girl Korea. I just love the layout and design. And the photography? Shut up! Take a look at their latest spread shot by photographer Kim Bo Sung and check out the magazine's website.
Family photos are so important. They help us all to remember who we are, where we come from and what our greatest accomplishments in life really are. I think family portraits are especially important for high school seniors and their moms and dads. Family dynamics are going to change as young adults are leaving home for the first time and a photo that captures this transition will be a treasure for years to come. That is why I am offering every high school senior client's family a free family session.* Think of it as my graduation gift not only to the senior but to the senior's family as well.
