miss rosati…if you please

August 15, 2009

Carla Rosati has one of the kindest hearts on the planet and I am very lucky to consider her a dear friend.  We always laugh cause Miss Car Car has a secret.  What is it that they say, “You can take the girl out of Jersey but you can’t take the Jersey out of the girl.”  Hmmm….let’s just say, Carla got in touch with her roots for part of our shoot and Jersey never looked so good!CarlaRosati044CarlaRosati145CarlaRosati208CarlaRosati209CarlaRosati253CarlaRosati354CarlaRosati422CarlaRosati376

shot 4 shot

August 15, 2009

Ok…so right after Michael Jackson tragically passed away, my friends and I got together for a little tribute…we called it “Shot 4 Shot.” The idea was we were supposed to take one shot of alcohol for each shot I took…this did not happen. BUT, we did groove all night to MJ and there were plenty of shots taken both with my camera and of the adult beverage variety!  Yes, I do have crazy friends, and I count my blessing every day for each and every one of them!!!shot4shot0001shot4shot0004shot4shot0008shot4shot0013shot4shot0015shot4shot0021shot4shot0033shot4shot0047shot4shot0049!

the nuclear family

August 15, 2009

In their own words, “The Nuclear Family is a four man improv musical feast, formed on the millennium (possibly), and has been brutalizing New York ever since.”  That is until last month when they came to punch La La Land straight in the kisser. Boy, do they pack a mean right hook. These fine young gentlemen are so incredibly talented, I truly hope that everyone on the planet has an opportunity at some point in their beautiful lives to bask in the greatness that is The Nuclear Family.  Come back to LA boys, we miss you!!!The Nuclear Family_0007The Nuclear Family_0034The Nuclear Family_0037The Nuclear Family_0048The Nuclear Family_0110The Nuclear Family_0174

princess

August 5, 2009

It’s true…I LOVE to play!!  What I love more is when people show up and and are ready and willing to play along.  Enter Miss Stephanie Burden! During our phone consultation she told me that her family history dates back the Princess of Aquitaine.  Not kidding…amazing, right? And, she continued, that she has always wanted to do a photo shoot exploring her fun family tree.  Well, that was enough to start the fire and then when Stephanie arrived for her session our little modern day princess was born.  Before we hit the road with Princess Stephanie, we were able to sneak in some good old fashioned headshots;)

Josh Kalender is a combo platter of rugged good looks, a sweet soul and that illustrious “it” factor.  He came so prepared for this shoot that we were able to rock out a bunch of different looks…he really was a rock star!  I wish you great success Josh, I know it is headed your way!!!

eitan & his ladies

July 10, 2009

You know when you meet someone and you feel like you have known them forever?  Eitan Kramer has such an ease about him you can’t help but feel instantly connected.  As an added bonus, ladies and gents, he is a personal trainer so if you’re in the market give this man a holla.  And his “bitches” are…well they are…how do you say….AMAZING!!!  Miss Chloe & Miss Scout you stole my heart.
