Valentines Portrait Day

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Yesterday was my first all day girly shoot. It was a complete success, and so much fun. Each girl was allotted two hours for hair, makeup, and mulitple shooting scenes.  Our makeup artist-Kerry Dering, (based out of Westfield NJ-www.kerrydering.com) did an amazing job. I have never seen anyone create such flawless faces before. Here are some shots from my first client…her ethereal look inspired soft beautiful imagery.

My next model was interested in more of a  boudior shoot, to be given as a gift for Valentines Day to her husband overseas in Iraq. Her makeup was edgier, the hair was sexy–and the pictures are so much fun. Here are a few that aren’t too revealing…

For the next shoot, we tried out a few looks and situations. First we did a bedroom shoot. The light was really fantastic so we wanted to take full advantatge of it while we had it. We had big hair and sexy eyes, a winning combo….

After the bedroom, we opted for a Hollywood Starlet vibe….

Today I got to meet Benjamin and Ethan-my first preemie newborns ever shot! They were so easy to work with, lots of yawns and sighs. It was adorable. Here are some of my most favorites…

Body Scapes

A few days ago I had the opportunity to try out some dramatically lit body scapes. Its kind of like a celebration of what makes woman beautiful, their curves. I think this is a great gift idea for yourself or for the one you love. I am doing a Valentines Day Girlie shoot later this month (its sold out already), and this is one aspect of what I plan on photographing. Any body type, any age can be captured in this way. I think its a truly fabulous way to embrace your inner and outer beauty. Many thanks to my models! If anyone is interested in doing something like this, send me an email
