I realize that most of the country is getting hit by snow but here in SF it sure feels like spring! Spring cleaning itch! This week I had the pleasure of photographing a very charming small wedding affair in St. Helena (just north of Napa). I have to admit, while it’s easy to label it an elopement because this couple whisked away to wine country from Texas…they did bring their immediate family. Someone want to help me coin a new term for the ‘inbetween’ elopement and wedding?! In the meantime, these images will give you the spring that you need! Stunning! (more…)

Happy Hump Day! Hard getting back into full work weeks since the holidays right? I have a lovely wine country elopement to share with you! Jennifer and John tied the knot just before the holidays at an oh-so beautiful Napa private estate with their closest family nearby. This intimate affair will give you the warm fuzzies on this chilly (and freezing for most of you) day. (more…)

Happy Happy Friday! I’ve been dying to share more from my product photography shoot with Lifeguard Press. Today, I’m sharing some of the goodies from Jonathan Adler’s Nifty Gifties Stationery and Gifts line coming out in the spring! So colorful, so fresh and I want everything – from the party and tableware, pencils and pens, notebooks, thermal mugs, greeting cards. My personal favorites are the lanterns, wrapping paper and the gadget/cell/ipod charging compartment box (awesome way to  hide those cords!)! (more…)

Friday!  Whoohoo!  I’m a lucky gal for 2 things: 1 we had the best time shooting this week, awesome shots and 2 I’m flying home 1 day early because of how fabulous we all are.  The photo shoots this week couldn’t have gone any better and yesterday was a good day to end on.  Haha, I think I slacked on actual ‘work’ shots but hey, when you have kids around you gotta have some fun right?!  We shot both Jonathan Adler and Lilly Pulitzer gift products on our last day…can’t wait to show you! (Btw, aren’t these JA laterns to.die.for?!) (more…)

Hump day was a HUGE success! Pretty things make me happy and when surrounded by them for 10 hours, it can make a girl want/need and be tired! I wanted it all! We shot Jonathan Adler’s Niftie Gifts  (could also be Nifty, not sure if it’s determined yet) line of fantastic papers, notebooks, pencils/pens/highlighters, picture frames, thermal mugs, reuseable partyware, etc etc etc! Coming to you in 2010! Can’t wait to share all the shots from both shoots, but you’ll just have to be patient and wait :) (more…)

Oh the days are long but fun!  Tuesday was super busy so my ‘behind the scenes’ photos are lacking but you get the idea. I’ve realized that we need foot massages on set…haha in our dreams!  Lots of great products coming to all of you from Lilly for spring, can’t wait for you to see!  Next stop, Jonathan Adler… (more…)

Well hello there Tuesday! We had a very long but successful first day of shooting the Lilly Pulitzer Spring 2010 Stationery and Gifts catalog in LA. The first day of shoots is always crazy (rise & shine at 6am to pick up equipment to getting that printed backdrop just straight enough for the 15th time)…and well, our super adorable paper props (made by Renee) tested our patience without a doubt. Above, one of my fav little guys – mr. bug-eyed frog.  Check out more photos from the day… (more…)

Happy Monday! Hope everyone remembered to turn their clocks back…???  Sue and Joe, they both have stunning eyes, 3 letters in their names ending with an ‘e’ and well the lovey-doveys for one another (did I mention how much they rock in general?)!  The rain and the chill didn’t stop us from having a fantastic time in Oak Park (a suburb of Chicago) celebrating with their most cherished friends and family. (more…)

Lots of giggles, peonies, tears, pink and LOVE!  Lots of images to look through, let us get started! (more…)
