High Gloss Photoshoot: Exclusive Extra Shots

So, I'm loving the new article in High Gloss Magazine with designer Emily Ruddo and I thought I would post a few of the unused shots from my fabulous day in Emily's home.  She is fantastic to work with and I feel completely inspired photographing with her, so we always get great shots together!  
Here are a few unseen photos of the Living/Dining area and the Master Suite:  

We had a slight obsession with the light on this book - I love the way the photo turned out!

After I photographed her home in October, Emily recovered these now pink chairs and they are so perfect in the room.  The way she pairs aqua and pink make me so happy.

I loved this side table detail - especially the lucite box - and check out the shoes below…

the wallpaper is gorgeous!

Emily has a lot of her resources posted on her fabulous blog, so check her out if you're digging her style!

High Gloss Article: My work in "print"

I'm so pleased to announce that my photography is featured in this month's High Gloss Magazine!  I shot the article for designer and friend, Emily Ruddo, a few months back and am thrilled to see the final product.  The entire project was fantastic and you can see even more of Emily's work (and my photography!) on her site.  Emily, is a fabulous and talented designer that I met last year and have worked with ever since.  She has an amazing eye and I adore her playful, yet elegant use of color and pattern.  


Seeing the magazine today has been thrilling and I'm so excited to share it with everyone I know.  What's even more fabulous, is that my mentor and business partner, Grey Crawford, has his work featured in the article directly before mine.  So, please check out my photos in the HG article on page 55 & let me know your thoughts. What an amazing day!  Enjoy!

Photoshoot: Behind the Scenes

I was recently on a photo shoot with friend and fellow photographer Beth Coller working as her stylist on an interiors shoot.  Whenever we had down time I photographed some behind the scenes shots of what really goes on during a shoot day.  It's such a different experience to be on the sets that we shoot and later see the actual finished photos in magazines and websites.  After being on a shoot I can't help but laugh when I see such perfect, beautiful images, because I remember all the funny little details of the day.  Nobody's home is perfect and having the privilege to be behind the scenes is fabulous - we get to see the chaos we create on set + the way people actual live.  So, here are some fun shots I took throughout the day to show what we were actually up to!  And I love the little orange cat - he followed us all day and wanted to be the star of the shoot.  Too cute!

the star of the shoot…he was a total camera hog

the bedroom shot would not have been complete without him...

lights, camera…more lighting…shift the camera - Beth hard at work...

a little left out detail - there's never enough time to light and shoot every perfect detail…here is one of my favorite snapshots of the day - I just love this classic bathing doll - she is too chic to be left behind…
