Backstage at Georgine during NYFW S/S 2016

I had a blast photographing Georgine's show, especially backstage. Here's a behind the scenes look at her show.

 

Custo Barcelona & Dascha Polanco

This past week has been a busy week for me, Fashion Week started on Thursday September 10th. I've been out and about shooting all of the various runway shows. (I will post some more photos from the week later). On Friday, I was shooting the Custo Barcelona show and on my way out I ran into the beautiful Dascha Polanco. You may know her as Daya from Orange Is the New Black. She was super sweet and let me take some great photos of her. She has such a beautiful smile! I wanted to share some of the images:

I don't usually post photos of myself, but I was very happy to meet Dascha. I am a big fan of Orange is the New Black.

Jasmine's Studio Pet Portraits

I know I posted about Jasmine not too long ago, but previously I was working on a project with her and Kate. I was interested in doing some portraits of her and her owner, Kate agreed. Jasmine was very excited for it, especially when she realized this meant she got some extra treats.

So, I got Jasmine into my studio and here are the results!

 

 

My Day with Jasmine

The other day I took some photographs of my neighbor's dog Jasmine. She is a King Charles Cavalier and Cocker Spaniel mix. We had a lot of fun and took a bunch of photos. A few days later the temperature reached 90 degrees and Jasmine's owner, Kate,  asked if I would dog sit because she knew I would be home and she was concerned with the heat. I had a fun day with Jasmine and took some more photos.

First things first, Kate brought over her food, water, leash, and some toys.

Then Jasmine made her self comfortable on the couch.

and she stayed on the couch.

After a while I tried to get her to play, so I tried to get her off the couch.

but, I think she really liked the couch.

I got this cute photo of her with her tongue sticking out. :)

Overall I had a great time with her. She kept me company as I did some editing and took photos of her. She's a great subject.

Coming soon: Pet Portraits of Jasmine.

The Knot's Couture Bridal Fashion Week New York City

I went to The Knot's Couture bridal fashion week with Jenna Salvagin and it was a great opportunity to see some new styles by Maggie Sottero! It's a totally different experience from Mercedes-Benz fashion week. The dresses in the collection are completely affordable for most brides...you might have already seen someone you know getting married in one of these beautiful dresses! Here are some of my favorites.

Headshots in NYC

This past week I did some headshots for someone with the same name as me. She does pronounce it a little differently, but not very often do I find someone with the same spelling. Our plan was to go to central park, but it was one of those extremely cold days; So we decided to find a warmer place to shoot. We found a public building near by and got some great shots! I love the photos and think they came out great!

Angela & Jason

I went to Jones Beach this past weekend to photograph this wonderful couple; It was a beautiful evening and we had a lot of fun! I can't wait for their wedding!

If you want to know a little secret Angela also does my hair, she is amazing check out her work here: http://www.facebook.com/amd.hairandmakeup

Carolina Herrera

One of my favorite shows at fashion week last month was Carolina Herrera. The Collection was stunning; so elegant and classy, including the music (I recorded a bit of it on my phone so I wouldn’t forget it) You can hear it here: http://youtu.be/RdbDBZ7lsjA.  it is “A whimsical riff on Beethoven’s Kreutzer Sonata by Tom Hodge” I wish I could own every piece that came down that runway.  After the show was over I was very lucky to go back stage and meet her.  Here are some photos from the show:

Starting off this year with a BANG!

Happy New Year! I wanted to start this year by posting some new photos. I recently did a photo shoot with Aaron Carter.  He is on the Broadway production of The Fantasticks and kicking off a tour in February.

We had such a great shoot!
