CC SKYE S/S 2011

Another AMAZING shoot with CC. Most are saying this is our best one yet. I absolutely love our collaborations...

My agent-less days are over...

I'm very happy to announce that I officially have an agent now. Just Add Water management (I mean, how perfect is that for me?) is a new agency co-founded by former creative director Kirsten Ludwig and founder/Director of ARTMIX, Bruce Kramer. This is a new agency with a new approach and feedback thus far has been incredible. Kirsten, working out of New York, brings her creative expertise to the table having worked with companies such as Anthropologie, Ralph Lauren, American Eagle and Ron Herman. I have to say, it's going to be really amazing having her involved with my shoots from concepts all the way thru to finish. Out in LA, Bruce will bring all his experience to the table as well. Bruce has been in the business a long time and his guidance and feedback has been invaluable to me already. I'm in great company... the other photographers in the JUST ADD WATER family are unbelievably talented, each with their own spin & style visible throughout their work (and all really cool people, too!).

Please check out the web site when you have a chance...

Happy days...

Ray LaMontagne interview...

Check out my story on Ray LaMontagne in the September issue of L.A. Confidential. I'm feeling very honored that he put my interview up on his web site as well. Ray has been my favorite artist for years now so, it feels like a bit of a dream come true. Check it out when you can: http://www.raylamontagne.com/us/home

Seventeen Magazine

From my first shoot for Seventeen. "Style Council" real girls with their on unique twist on style...

Go, CC... it's your birthday!

Oh, CC Skye... where to begin?

CC & I met years ago when I shot her first campaign. We had a great time & worked well together, but we hadn't really become friends. It wasn't until recently that we formed a very close bond. I've done many shoots for her now & I've always loved the collaborations we've shared, but now I have a whole new love for her. In the last year we somehow wound up in a circle of friends that share weekly dinners somewhere in Malibu (where CC reigns Queen) or on the west side of town. Our little group is pretty eclectic, all very different, yet somehow we ALWAYS find ourselves laughing the nights away. I've always admired CC for her creative talents & her incredible business savvy. Her uncompromising loyalty as a client is pretty amazing as well. She has started a business with an idea and taken it to such great heights... only to grow more and more in the years to come. ALL of these things are impressive. BUT what I truly adore is the "real" CC... A Malibu girl that has an undeniable warmth about her, a razor sharp wit that can sometimes catch people off guard and a heart of gold. To get to know CC, to REALLY know her... is to love her. Everyone should be so lucky.

I know it's not your birthday quite yet, but since I'll be traveling when it comes around... a very, very happy birthday to you, CC. And congratulations on turning 25 again (wink, wink).

A never ending month...

What has caused my lack of blogging? Death? Too much surfing & being lazy? Broken thumbs? Nay, I say. The truth is, the last six weeks have been a whirlwind of amazing happenings. I will dive into each event in greater detail once I am back in my Los Angeles nest, but the basic rundown is...

Two more amazing shoots for Delia's in New York.

"Style Council", my first shoot for Seventeen Magazine.

Wrote my first interview for L.A. Confidential with my favorite musician, Ray LaMontagne.

Prep work for my first fashion editorial for Seventeen Magazine.

Shot the fall fashion editorial for L.A. Confidential, September issue (10 pages! So thrilled!).

Prep work for the B-low The Belt campaign.

Began writing my latest Screenplay.

Portrait of Jeff Rudes (Founder of J. Brand jeans).

Portrait of Cecilia Cassini (10 year old fashion designer).

Early prep work for upcoming editorial for Gotham Magazine.

Another shoot for Elle Magazine.

Details & behind the scenes photos on all to come. Ahhh, Summer... my favorite time of year.
