The summer's here in full-force! June remains booked solid, which is fun with all of the diversity. My favorite part about photography is that no two days are the same, as this week's post illustrates!

First up, here's Mylene, one of four models we worked with for a shoot featuring brides. The crew was so fun that we played a bit, too, and as the dress designer was on-set with his amazing creations to help we aimed for some high-fashion looks while we were at it. Lauren's makeup work flattered everyone, and we had a long and great day of making photographs. Thanks to all involved!

At left is Tiffany, who needed some head shots for her portfolio update. I went to her at her place, this was...oh...the last sunny day we've had here in New York...weeks ago (feels like eternity). The sun was important for us, as we used it as an ambient fill light to evenly illuminate her face, and give her a natural glow. Speaking of which, if I don't get these proofs done today she's going to go to her next audition with empty hands, so moving on...

I'm thrilled to see some of my shots of Law & Order: Criminal Intent actor Kathryn Erbe on the cover and within the pages of this month's Fido Friendly magazine. We enjoyed a great day of shooting on-site at North Shore Animal League America for these images, and Kate's enthusiam for the League's efforts came through in every single shot. Lilah, her pooch, is an NSALA adoptee - and as you can see was just as into the shoot as Kate was...pick up an issue if you get a chance!
