holiday parties, start yer engines!

Sun sets, fridge is stocked

Trays of sushi are unleashed

Candles lit and brownies split

with knives

because a whole brownie is

a lot

Must leave room for champagne

Must leave room for thoughts in your head

to overflow onto the canvas

oh wait, there must have been lots of thoughts

because the canvas is full

of something!

Passengers need not apply

Big thanks to all of you...who showed up early (sometimes too early), who stayed late (always too late) and who were never afraid of a little hustle.

And to you Marie, for everything....muah!

End of Days, Beginning

This week is the first week in over a year that I have not photographed for a company called Ideeli...as they've gone in-house with their photography. The company was created and is run by friends of mine who are brilliant and talented...and who are kicking arse. They provided grounds for me to build my business from lil ole me to a bustling crew of 10 people, 2-3 x a week. It was a fantastic crew, productive, motivated, and ridiculously fun. We were photographers, assistants, retouchers, stylists...all working to put out the very best end product that we knew how. And I have to say, there is not one image that we created that i do not stand behind with all my heart. I never knew i would care so much about handbags, jewlery, shoes and sunglasses...but i do and i did. 

Alas, all good things must come to an end...and when they do it is an end...and of course,  it is also a beginning...

Here's to the end...and as this blog proves...here's also to the beginning...
