I often ask for photos of  a couple before a maternity photography shoot to get an idea of who they are, how they interact together, how they  look on camera, their heights, hair color, style etc. I think it’s really fascinating to go back and look at the photos they sent me after the shoot is completed and I’ve worked with them and gotten to know them on a new level. It’s eye opening and magical almost to see  how couples transform in my studio. Their personalities and physical beauty is revealed after doing a shoot and a whole new couple emerges from the photos. After a recent shoot I went back and looked at the photos my client sent me before the shoot and with their permission I am sharing both the before and after with you here with……

As one of three Maybelline contest winners, I went to NY last week to do a photo and video shoot for Maybelline and Candace Bushnell’s new webisode “The Broadroom”…..

Maybelline sponsored Candace Bushnell’s (creator of Sex and the City) new webisode called “The Broadroom”.  The actresses in the Broadroom are Jennie Garth, Mary McMann, Jennifer Esposito, Talia Balsam, and Lauren Devereux.  Concurrently, Mabelline sponsored a contest looking for Colorful women….regular day to day women with colorful stories. I was chosen as a contest winner through my entry which explained my passion as a photographer and creator of a photographic children’s book called Drums, dancers and a bird as big as you! , which was published this year.  The contest winner’s stories will be integrated into the stories of the characters in The Broadroom.
