Haute Bride Photo shoot

Three gorgeous models. Amazing dresses from Haute Bride (1954 Union St. San Francisco 415. 923. 5900). Haute Bride is perfection, from the fantastic dresses, to accessories that make me want to get married again (to the same guy). The staff and manager could not be friendlier. This is the first stop a bride should make when looking for her dress! 

And for those of you who have been curious this is the new SF studio space I have been chattering about.

Little Miss Lucy Baby Portraits

I was so happy the other night seeing Little Miss Lucy again. Her parent's are taking her down to LA. for her baptism and needed a few shots of her in both of her baptismal dresses (one had been in the family for close to a century!) Since Lucy was being her charming self we decided to push out luck and try her in the petticoat and in a new little elf hat that came in. I am so happy that they decided on doing the one year plan so they always know they can come in to the studio and get priority in scheduling (even emergancy evening Sat. appointments!

Announcing Decolletage

I got an amazing assignment from LuLa Lu's, photographing exquisite lingerie. Before this I had not given boudoir photography much thought. After the session I started to get the bug. I did not want to do traditional boudoir, I wanted to try something different, new, and also very old. I went back to my other love, oil painting. I decided to start playing with the soft lighting and posing of the old masters, add a dash of Vogue, Maxim, and thanks to location Blade and Sin City. I just finished my first boudoir party today and the time flew. We had SO much fun! Can't wait for the next, so grab some friends and give me a call to schedule!

I LOVE days like this!

I did a photo shoot for Al Harrington's new  shoe company Protege with Al Harrington and Steve Jackson. This morning I signed on to KMart's web site www.kmart.com and there they were, my pictures! Al Harrington's amazing shoes, but my pictures of Al Harrington's amazing Protege shoes right on the front page of KMart's website. So proud I could float!
