Haha, this is not a gangster reference! But a reference to the True Blood happy hours put on by the Cornerstone and Fader team for the HBO series True Blood. These were setup to promote the after-parties for the Comic-Con International in San Diego. I was hired by Cornerstone to photograph the lucky party goers having a blast with all the True Blood swag. It definitely wasn't hard with all the free beer and TruBlood cocktails going around! The parties spanned three nights, with the first two nights at Prohibition and Rock Bottom then the last big blow out party at Bondi.
I lovingly referred to this guy as "cool glasses guy."

If all vampires could dance like this guy, who needs dancing zombies.
Princess Leia is on the TruBlood kick!
The decor was awesome.
Everyone who attended the Bondi got a TruBlood beverage, delicious I might add!
Did another great shoot for First for Women magazine a few weeks ago with an amazing woman named Donna Kozik. She was so much fun to work with and her story about using a vision board to help her lose 100 pounds is definitely inspiring. I brought along my styling crew, Rita and July, to help me and we got so many great photographs. Too bad they only run one photograph! But pick up a magazine today and also be sure to check out Donna's website!

I had the opportunity to photograph for First for Women magazine, which covers women's lifestyles (and has great recipes I might add). A national magazine based out of New Jersey, I got an email from the photo editor, Judy Ramirez, a Hallmark alumni (I love connections!), who needed someone to photograph Brettan for a piece in the magazine called "First Blush," which was about her most embarrassing wedding-guest moment. I happily obliged and enlisted the help of my styling crew, Rita and July, and another great photographer friend to assist me, Katy Marshall, to photograph Brettan! Phew! We headed over to Brettan's place and she told us the story (which you have to read about in the magazine!) and we had a great time, Brettan was awesome and the girls did a beautiful job styling, so all in all it was a great shoot!
My awesome help! Katy practicing for the shoot, she is now back in Louisiana, so if you need photography there, she's your gal! Then the amazing July and Rita!
