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).

Cute!!  Did you know that they make cupcake icing in a spray can?  Delish!  We shot for a total of 3 days straight, and I couldn’t tell you how many times we said “where’s the tape?”!  It became our savior for just about any problem.  Oh and some more products that Lilly carries – mugs, cocktail shakers and umbrellas, custom wedding invitations, holiday garland, colored pencils and highlighters, oh my!

Did someone say pink?!  It was hard not to shove all the gum balls in my mouth!  Yumyum!  Lilly’s line has everything from cards, stationary, party hats, matches, pom-poms, paper dolls, activity books, notebook & guestbooks, wrapping paper, holiday ornaments, cookie cutters, calendars, thermal mugs…you name it, she has it!

Hello from San Francisco!  I know, the month of April = crazy!  Sorry for the sporadic posts.  I’m very excited to be photographing a wine country wedding this weekend, jealous?  I prescheduled some posts so you can check out some of my favorite images from my B2B catalog shoot with Lifeguard Press and their Lilly Pulitzer line from last week.  A big thanks to everyone for a fabulous shoot, special shout-out to Cheree Berry Papers for prop-styling/designing and Andrea for sharing her lovely home!  It was a group effort for sure and appreciate everyone’s hard work and creativity :) (more…)
