Little dog, big dog

Snow day in NYC

I woke up at 7am to catch some shots of my favorite city under the blanket of snow!

My Christmas Tree

Walking through Washington Square late the other night, a saxaphone player was playing off to the side in the dark, his sax case laying open - and practically empty - in front of him. If only he knew the natural acoustics and lighting directly under the monument would give him his very own stage. My hands were freezing but I had to stay awhile and take some pictures!

Sometimes people come in your life at precisely the best time. I met Julianne when she was modeling at an event I attended, and we shot together a few days later. This shoot is the fourth time we've worked together and the shots keep getting better! Love, love, love her new hair color and I am wishing her good luck at her open calls this week!

When Jessica and I started talking about taking some "sexy photographs" as a Christmas present for her boyfriend Ed, we threw around tons of ideas. We both remembered the Jennifer Aniston spread in Vanity Fair and decided to go with a similar clean, wrapped in a white sheet look. We had fun and Jessica is absolutely beautiful - inside and out!

We shot in natural morning light and mostly in black and white.

Sunday football will never be the same!

Jessica succeeded at sneaking Ed's Marine combat boots and hat out the door for the shoot!
