i'm in new york city now, my old stomping grounds. feels great to be back with family and friends.
especially enjoyed shooting this holiday still life for Loup Charmant. here's one of my faves:
hope you have officially kicked off your holiday and are snuggling in -- or venturing out -- with loved ones.

Huh? What's that you say? Small Shop?!?
Yep, that's right. our client Sage Raval has started the most phenom art experience for kids: Small Shop. something i wish i'd had when i was a a kid.
you see, even when i was a freshy in college trying to find my peeps in this strange new world, i'd wonder around campus feeling like the outsider i was, and then I'd spot some cool kids hangin out, and i'd think, "who are they? they're so cool and interesting looking, i wanna hang out with them. i wanna BE them... those are my peeps!" (see, total loser-freshmen vibe, but that's seriously the way i felt.) well turns out those peeps were the art students. the cool kids, in my book.
i never had any formal training in art -- i'm a DIY girl in that department. but if i had one do-over or parallel life to live, i'd go to art school! Fun, right?! i'd learn how to draw and paint and do sculpture and screen printing and and and and... i mean, doesn't everyone need to know how to draw beyond stick figures? besides, you could kill in Pictionary!
well, now that i'm all growed up with kids of my own... it turns out i have now found my way into the visual arts through photography, and graphic design before that... but i still wish i could take formal art lessons. art is just cool.
But ya know what's even cooler?
Private art lessons.
In your home.
For your kids! (ok, you can probably hover if you want and pick up a trick or two). But seriously, no driving? no hauling my Smalls into their car seats and fighting traffic and rushing to get back home in time for dinner? Sold already.
That's what Small Shop offers. They will send a fine artist out to your home for individual or small-group art lessons for workshops, special events, or on-going weekly lessons.
Small Shop was founded by our client Sage Raval. She's uber-awesome, and an amazing artist herself. Check it out.
and so fun seeing some kids portraits by yours truly up on the site here and here.

ok, i know it's winter.
but with winter comes HOLIDAY! and surely some of you are gearing up to travel some where warm and tropical? maybe you're packing your bag with resort wear instead of sweaters and scarves?
besides, here in LA, Loup Charmant's seasonless pieces fit into your wardrobe year round. so, as i catch up on blogging all my photoshoots from the past few months, i thought it was a good time to share the shoot I did for Loup Charmant's Look Book. I was happy with the airy, ethereal look of how it all came out.
Loup Charmant (The Charming Wolf) is a vacation-inspired women's loungewear line of intimates to dresses. You can check out more of the line here, here, and here.
happy weekend!
