Behind The Scenes // Tara LaTour Fall 2011

in ,

 

I feel like I begin every blog post with 'I'm SO excited to show you..." but I suppose that is a perfect sign that I love my job! We are getting ready to release the images from Tara LaTour's second collection and I simply can not WAIT to share these with you! This was 'the perfect shoot'.  Absolutely everything just beautifully, even the weather was ideal for us! There will be many photos and details about this shoot to come, but I wanted to share some fun behind-the-scenes photos that Liz caught on her camera from this day!

Enjoy!

 

 

Metro Magazine // Metro 100

in , ,

 

Every year, one of our clients, Metro Magazine, puts out a feature called the Metro 100! I've been a part of this feature since the beginning-of-time, and it's always so much fun to be a part of! It's also interesting to see how with each passing year, the editorial department decides to approach the same article, but in a different way! This year was all about collaboration and submissions from various artists! Our role in the article was to photograph food carts, which landed us the cover  (Which is actually a throwback to my first-ever-cover with Metro!) We hung out with Saucy Burts and Nate Dogs one afternoon and learned all about the culture and community that is mobile-food! Also in this feature, our client Anne Kristine Lingerie is featured with a nice big image as well!

The Metro 100 issue will only be on news stands for a few more days, so make sure to check it out!

People fascinate me, that's one of the reason's that I'm a photographer and a big reason of why I love to shoot people. Many times, when I'm in public, I go into observation mode and sometimes that means approaching people and asking if they will model for me. Michele is one of those people that totally captivated me. I met her at a networking event and I instantly loved everything about her - her vibe, her style, her hair, her lipstick, and at the end of the night she gave me her business card and once I checked out her website, I knew she would be one of those 'perfect normal people' for me to photograph. Michele was gracious enough to let me into her home, dig through her closet and there was just SO much to work with, so I dreamed up a shoot and vua-la ! There's something so cool about meeting someone who naturally has great style that you connect with, and allowing yourself to create some work that is simply for play - and for your portfolio! Michele is an amazing designer, and it's been so fun to collaborate with her on this project - and yes, she did the killer design for this layout! Enjoy!

Behind The Scenes // Anne Kristine Lingerie Shoot

in , , ,

 

Yesterday, we blogged all about the launch of Anne Kristine Lingerie, in which I photographed the entire look book + editorial campaign for!

I've been wanting to blog about these for SO long, but the wait was well worth it! Here are some behind-the-scenes images from our day of shooting! As a photographer, I'm always keeping my eyes open for great, new indoor locations for future shoots. A few months back, I stopped by the Hackwith Design House to pick up some garments for the TRIBE shoot and I fell in love with their space! They were oh-so-gracious for letting us, literally, take over their home on the day of our shoot, which was absolutely the perfect location and style for this line!

I love that we never know what kind of doors will open every where we turn!

 

 

 

Here are some of my favorite images from the shoot!

 

 

 

Anne Kristine Lingerie // Campaign Launch!

in , ,

 

I'm super excited to show you all a recent campaign I photographed for a new lingerie line!  Anne Kristine Lingerie features pieces made, specifically for a bride on her wedding night, not that it should stop anyone from buying this lovely attire for any occasion, but I loved the concept of a line that was made for such a niche market! I had so much fun photographing this line! When it comes to the commercial work, I love being a part of something new and helping that brand come to life! Congratulations to Anne on the launch of her new line! We are so proud of you! Take a moment to check out the website for the full online-boutique-store!
