The mission: dreamy, princessy, fairytale…y. Lyz and I ended up in Kubota Garden complete with peonies (yep, brought my own flowers to a garden), gowns, silk, and “floof” (referring to the petticoat she made out of endless amounts of tulle. It’s a beautiful and peaceful place to shoot…you’ll see a bit more of that once I post the white dress shots.
Brittany for Marisa Perry Atelier in NYC
Reminding all of us to stretch…and reminding myself that reflections are really fun to play with…
Headshot time! This is actress Anita the Diva…we go back to my high school days, as she was the theater director there. We both ended up on the west coast, so she packed up her huskies and came to visit me for a headshot session. This is her “villain” look, one of the assigned portraits she needed for her agency. Good times, and yet another perk of moving west.
Ok, ok…I’ll show you the smiling one too…
Bits and pieces of the Meatpacking district in NYC…
One of the downfalls of moving west is missing this girl. It was Heathers birthday recently, so I conspired with her husband to surprise her with my trip east. Obviously, a quickie shoot had to be part of that. I’m staying at a house with a beautiful yard, so we decided to take advantage of these gorgeous roses. As she would say, “Gothtastic.”
I’m back in NY this week, and lucky for me, Brittany was here yesterday. She got up crazy early to make it…and then we did…this. I was iffy about asking, but she’s fearless in her modeling. She’s a trooper.
Um. And here’s the “behind the scenes” shot from right after….oops.
Tortured Michele here, and made a mess! Don’t look at me like that, it’s clay mud mask, and she said her skin felt great afterwards…
Meet another photographer named Elizabeth that lives in WA! We met under one of those “you two should meet” situations and we got together to shoot on Sunday. She’s a cosplayer, and let me tell you…SO well armed with wigs, fun contacts, every color of eyeshadow ever, etc. Girl knows how to play dress up like a champ!
Slinky, of course, was his usual pain in the butt self…so here’s yet another entry for the “Cats Interrupting Photo Shoots” series…
