I am in love with jewel box of a bath and it was so much fun to shoot it during my birthday week. It is so incredibly luxurious that it felt like a present. And you just know that someone else cleans it. Which in and of itself is just, oh, beyond words.
Can we talk about the chandelier just dripping into the humongo bath? I just imaging sitting in that bath under the sparkle of those crystals, gazing out into the stars of the night sky.
So clearly I’ve given away my answer, which I don’t like to do, because I feel like it sways people. But I’m just a no curtain kind of girl. Surprise!
Congratulations to the Project Team! I got to photograph this exciting project last summer – it’s quite the impressive site!
You might recall I had a potentially threatening equipment malfunction that day. Well, folks, it seems to have all worked out. What a relief!
Y buena fortuna. Muchos abrazos y besos.
Ring me up if you are headed to Stepping Stones with your kids. It’s fantastic, and I definitely need to get some action shots…
(Really I just want to play at the Museum.)
I worked with the ladies of Shelter Interiors, Tricia Izzo and Carolyn Kron, to photograph their new, inviting space the day after their Grand Opening Party. We had a great time setting up shots and feasting on the leftover cheese and champagne! Best wishes, Tricia and Carolyn!
And there’s still time before the holidays to take advantage of Shelter’s store-wide 20% off sale!
And here are some rare, behind-the-scenes shots snuck by an unruly Client on her iPhone. Somehow, my trusty assistant, Dr. Kiang, managed to get by uncaptured.
There’s so much going on over here that it’s been tough to find the time to share it. Today it’s snowing for the first time (so early!). This weekend I broke out the crock pot for some coq au vin (thanks T), knit a couple of holiday gifts, started the Harry Potter movies with Year 1, and lit some candles. It’s definitely starting to feel (and smell) like the holidays. Warm and cozy. I’m getting in the mood for friends and family, food and curling up on the couch with a furry blanket, a good book and a puppy or two.
This past Saturday night we also had a blast at a cocktail party celebrating the opening of the new space for The Dance Collective. Everyone was smiling and in full party mode because we are so proud to be a part of this growing collective that has changed all our lives. And we are thrilled for the well-deserved success of Amanda and Enrique. For me, and Sequined Asphault, their opening week meant a couple of other exciting moments. A newly updated web site that I set live last Friday night after their last class was taught at the old studio. And the delivery of 5 (so far) humongous, fine art prints to decorate their modern, airy and bright, brand new dream studio. I won’t lie, it’s been very exciting to see those prints go up over the course of the week.
Some chairs I found just laying around the studio files. Seemed a shame for them to be collecting dust like that. Many thanks to Denise Morocco of Kent Interiors and congratulations, Denise, on your new web site.
Interior shoots with Yvonne are always fun, as well as inspiring for my personal projects. Glad to see some of our images making the rounds. Check out more of Yvonne’s work. She’s creating an amazing portfolio and I am honored to be a part of it.
Today at my shoot, my main camera, a trusty Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II (say that 3 times fast) just back from the shop for a sensor cleaning, was giving me an incomprehensible error message: ERRor 02. Seriously?! Bah! A battery removal and replacement did the trick. For like 5 minutes at a time at best. BAH! Did they mess it up at the shop? Will I have to send it away for repair? Basically, how badly am I screwed?
As soon as I got home I grabbed my dog-eared manual. And did I ever luck out! I am so grateful because apparently ERRor 02 is all about a ‘faulty memory card’ – who knew? - and I’d already downloaded my images, so it worked well enough to get the job done without any magical restore software, and I didn’t even know enough to freak out that maybe that whole shoot wouldn’t appear on my hard drive! Yes!
So memory card in the trash and a thank you to the camera geek gods and I am on to editing my shoot. What a beautiful day.
Beautiful work, ladies of Shelter Interiors! Thanks for the opportunity to shoot such a fun and inviting home.
