Vacation

I can never resist taking pictures on vacation - photography is still one of my favorite pastimes after all.  Here are some fun snaps from my trip up north to visit with family last week, with lots of baby Asher of course. [gallery columns="4"]

Annual Burlesque Party

Every year I look forward to planning and hosting a party at our studio where I can invite clients, crew and industry folks along with friends and family to see a selection of local burlesque and live music.  I want to give a shout out to Vaudezilla for producing the show, Judson Claiborne for being our musical guest and FIG for providing delicious appetizers that evening.  Also, big thanks to some of my favorite photo assistants Ashton Hansen and Andrew Lawrence for helping out and taking these great pictures from the event.  Now its time to start getting inspired for next year...[gallery orderby="title"]

Bessemer Trust Annual

I am very pleased to share this beautiful piece.  The concept and design is by Suka Creative out of NYC who were a pleasure to work and travel with this winter.  We just barely got in and out of Chicago during the blizzard to kick this off in San Francisco, which of course was beautiful while we were there.  Huge thanks to Maria, Julie and Idene for making it easy for me to do my best work for them.
