white sheets
The afternoon light was pouring into our guest room and I had to take advantage of this photo op. My son Liam loves to burry himself under bed sheets and have family cuddle time. We pretend we are exploring caves, living in white fluffy clouds, or hiding from snow monsters.
This is one of my favorite things to do with Liam and I hope you enjoy these images.
White Sheets
Father and Son. A motorcycle shoot.
It took us MONTHS to pick a day and time to make this shoot happen and I have to say, I am over the moon! I created an inspiration board on Pinterest to keep myself focused and to remember certain moods and poses that I wanted to create. The light was perfect- an hour or so before sunset- and it created the perfect ambience to create these photos.
It is so important to photograph the people you love, and in particular, sacred relationships- like that of a father and son. It truly makes my heart burst to look at these pictures of my husband and son enjoying one of the things they love most- the almighty motorcycle.
Father. Son. Motorcycle.
Billy Reid, Charleston SC. Part I
Well, as luck would have it, the Billy Reid store AND The Rarebit (see previous post) may be featured in an upcoming issue of Architectural Digest! My girl Shelby, and manager of Billy Reid Charleston, called me for a last minute photo shoot and I was more than happy to oblige.
The store design takes you back a few decades set in a historical building with it's worn and warped natural wood floors, vintage heirloom wall portraits, ornate rugs, and magnolia leaf garlands. There were even a few crystal carafes filled with bourbon that made me want to sit down and take a load off for a while.
Can't wait to do a second shoot of the newly renovated and redecorated Billy Reid!
The Rarebit, Upper King, Charleston SC
I had the honor and pleasure of photographing a new (awesome) space on upper King Street, The Rarebit. The interior is chock full of clean, straight, mid-century modern lines, a mighty and soothing white marble bar, plaid banquettes, custom paintings, and even a few terrariums here and there. The space is comforting, cohesive, and perfectly decorated.
This is a place you'd meet Don Draper (or Betty) for an Old Fashioned or two. The menu consists of simple comfort foods to please any patron. I can vouch for the Mac 'n Cheese and my husband's favorite is the Fried Chicken and Waffles. (I can also vouch for their amazing Moscow Mule(s)...)
Can't wait to go back!
a big huge thank you to my 2012 clients!
Nothing feels better than giving gratitude. Almost 1 year ago, my husband and I decided to make a big move from our Brooklyn apartment down south to Charleston. It was a big lifestyle decision, and a two-part 16 hour drive (with our then 21-month-old son, and our dog), but we could not be happier with our life in the south. Charleston is beautiful, the people are friendly and warm, and the weather is a welcome and sunny change from New York!
I thought I would take the opportunity to thank my friends and clients from the past year for helping me make my business a success. Thank you for welcoming me into your lives and for giving me an opportunity to capture your special moments. It has been an honor to photograph such beautiful subjects and I hope our paths continue to cross.
Happy New Year! 2013 is already proving to be awesome!
