Call me resident photographer! I’ll be writing (hopefully once a month) about all sorts of photo tips. Check out my first post here.

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…)

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…)

Ummm, where did the morning go!? It’s been hectic. Like captial H, hectic. So I’m going to just cut to the chase. Yup, I’m leaving AGAIN :) Oh San Francisco, my cats and my Jman…poor guys. I fly out this weekend to the Los Angeles area for a week long shoot with Lifeguard Press for 2 fabulous stationary/gift catalogs – Lilly Pulitzer and Jonathan Adler Nifty Gifties. Posts will be light as usual…but this time around I hope to post 1 photo a day of the behind-the-scenes on the blog!! So be on the look out! In the meantime, check out one of my new fav illustrators, Paul Madonna (I believe he’s SF based too).
