Last month, I again assisted George Delgado for a gala event for the AIGA, hosted at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC. It was definitely one of the more “fun” events, complete with a red carpet installation and a silent auction right before the reception.
Apparently the WordPress scripts that I use to run this blog decided to delete my template during an upgrade, so please excuse the appearance for the time being. Thanks!

Thank goodness for backups. 
I had two photo shoots about a week ago with adorable couple Cheryl and Keishorne. Both had stopped by earlier in the year when I was holding photo shoots to support the NOH8 Campaign. This time around, Cheryl had her photo shoot to promote their joint project, the Be Positive Campaign. Keishorne was promoting Blue Ice Vodka as their spokesmodel. It was a fun shoot, and I believe there are a few “behind-the-scenes” videos floating around on their Be Positive blog and Facebook page.
Also there was James Cheng with his awesome lighting skills.
PS, this Thanksgiving I am thankful for inexpensive window curtains, whose uses have ranged between being pretty tablecloths (see below), dresses and backdrops.
I had a test shoot a few weeks ago with Alie, currently represented by Fenton Moon Media. She was great with her posing and giving input on ideas throughout the shoot. This was officially, my first shoot completely dedicated to beauty looks, and it was awesome. Hope to work with Fenton Moon again, as they have other girls I’d love to test with.
As usual, James Cheng worked on the setup and Jada David, who I’ve worked with several times in the past and is one of the best that I know, did the makeup and hair styling for this shoot. (I totally helped out with the hair ribbon piece lol)
Melanie Fontana is another singer that I photographed recently. She had actually attended Melissa Otero’s last studio session and booked me that same day (she also filmed that shoot with her iPhone and there’s a video or two floating around on Facebook, hehe). I’m still working on the rest of her photos, but this was my absolutely favorite from the shoot. This was originally an outtake, but I loves it.
