High Fashion on Sullivan Street

High fashion is so much fun: outlandish makeup, weird outfits, and strangely uncomfortable-looking poses. I'm so glad I finially got to give it a try! Kelli and Anthony did a great job ... even when I told them to look like they were about to absolutely DIE of boredom.

Baby Photos: Lucas

Today I photographed baby Lucas, who is 6 months old and a PERFECT baby model. He barely stopped smiling the whole time he was here, he sat in my big salad bowl forever while I snapped a zillion pictures, and then he promptly dozed off on command when we wanted to take some sleeping pictures. Yup, perfect. My theory is that he's so happy because his Mom and Dad adore him and smother him with love and attention. They are great parents, and it's easy to tell they love each other almost as much as they love their little boy.

Thanks for a great session, Lucas. Mom and Dad, enjoy your sneak peek!

Tribal Fashion: Yomaris

It's been about a month since I moved into my new apartment on Bleecker Street, but today was the first time I broke out the lights and did a shoot in the living room. Yomaris, who modeled for me, is both a gorgeous model and a very talented actress and singer. But most importantly, she let me doodle all over her face!

I got the idea to do this tribal face-painting from another photographer's work, and Yomaris agreed to try it. We had a lot of fun and got some great shots, and she actually left my apartment and walked to her car with the face paint still on! What an awesome gal.

"The Art of Fashion" Exhibition at Webster Hall

Here is me and Beth - one of the models whose photos I exhibited - in front of my display.

Graffiti and Water: Soho Fashion Shoot

Yesterday I had a wonderful fashion shoot with Constance, a beautiful and talented model. We did an urban goth theme on a couple of beautifully graffitied streets in Soho, and then Constance took out this amazing green velvet evening gown that she actually made herself. We got some shots in Washington Square Park, and then Constance actually let me talk her into getting into the fountain. I'd been wanting to do a water shoot for a long time, and Constance was incredible and very Lady of the Lake with the dress in the water. 

Look for these photos along with past work in my upcoming exhibition at Webster Hall! 

Central Park Wedding After-Session: Lisa + Joe

This Saturday I did a wedding after-session with adorable newlyweds Lisa and Joe. They had a destination wedding on a Florida beach, but they wanted some more relaxed pictures of the two of them. They're both native New Yorkers, so we decided on Central Park. We got lots of great shots in the castle and the Shakespeare Garden, and it was so much fun watching the people picnicking on the lawn turn around to stare at Lisa and Joe. One kid even snapped a couple of pictures!
