Very excited about my new cover for Natural Health, featuring the incomparable  Christy Turlington Burns - director, public health advocate, marathoner, model, mother.  Please support her very important organization advocating for mothers worldwide, Every Mother Counts.

A new fashion editorial I shot featuring actress Byrdie Bell and Elvis on the streets of LA just came out in this month’s Instyle Germany.  I love that girl!

What a nice bonus – I just found out that I also got my first cover for Instyle Germany with Gillian Zinser!

Some images from the April 2012 issue of InStyle Germany featuring a fashion story with young starlet Gillian Zinser, best known for her role as Ivy Sullivan on the hit show 90210.

A new print campaign and video for Tide Pods, featured in this month’s InStyle Magazine.  A special thanks to Santiago, James, Bernice and Dai from Industrial Color.

Just out, more beautiful real women for the latest Dove Beauty Moments campaign.  I love these shoots – there is always a very special energy and enthusiasm from Dove women, and they always have such great stories to tell.  Thanks to Debbie Fagan, the Ogilvy team, and Dove for a lovely day.

Behind the scenes on my fashion shoot for InStyle Germany — the delightful actress Gillian Zinser was perfectly at home goofing around with us all day long on the streets of downtown LA.  The best part of the shoot was reuniting with fashion editor extraordinaire Stefanie Albrecht.  Thanks Stefanie for the beautiful stories, and the catch-up!

Just back from the Beach House in Hermosa Beach, CA, where I spent a relaxed afternoon with Olympic beach volleyball star Kerri Walsh and her family for Coastal Living Magazine.  Both Kerri and her husband Casey Jennings are beloved in Hermosa, and it is easy to see why.  The power couple was so down-to-earth and mellow, even with their two kids and an entire photo crew chasing them around.  Good luck getting your third gold Kerri – we are all rooting for you!

It was quite hectic shooting Byrdie Bell on Hollywood Boulevard for a fashion editorial for InStyle Germany.  Just our small team, german TV crew, one cardboard Elvis, a boy band, and 10,000 tourists.  Byrdie was so brave – I don’t know how she managed to stay effervescent and photogenic for the duration.  Even the King paled in her presence.

A new fashion editorial on the power of the little black dress, featured in Good Housekeeping Magazine.

I’m so thrilled to have officially joined the illustrious ranks of Kate Ryan Inc, possibly the nicest reps in NYC.  Check out their website to see the talented company I’ll be keeping.  Looking forward to a long and fruitful collaboration – thanks so much for having me Kate!

I really enjoyed spending time on the water with Olympic sailors (and siblings!) Zach Railey and Paige Railey on our Coastal Living shoot last week.  Their entire family was so welcoming and charismatic – such a delight to photograph.  Good luck to both in Weymouth!

Very excited with my first cover for Natural Health, featuring the gorgeous Angela Lindvall, the new host for Project Runway All Stars.

To end a fantastic year, a festive scene from Mary Kay Holiday – here’s to 2012!

Behind the scenes on our cover shoot for Natural Health with Christy Turlington Burns and editor-in-chief Peg Moline.  Christy is absurdly inspirational — her outer beauty is just the tip of the iceberg.  Christy founded and runs Every Mother Counts, an advocacy organization which battles maternal mortality globally.   She is currently pursuing  a Masters Degree in Public Health from Columbia University.  Her moving documentary, No Woman, No Cry, debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2010. And somehow Christy found time to train for the New York Marathon, which she ran as part the EMC team, raising close to $140,000 for this amazing cause.  Take a look and support Every Mother Counts.

Christy was so gorgeous that I couldn’t help but beg a few beauty tips as she left the shoot.  A few tips from Christy:  juicing, pro-biotics, yoga – and a new beauty line Tata Harper Skincare.   See the results in the June issue of Natural Health!

Coats, coats, coats – our shoot, of course, was on a hot sunny day in Dumbo, but Amy Bracco still came out looking cool and breezy.  Editor:  Caroline Baxter. And a special thank you to Carlos Rojas from Industrial Color.

Just released, a new print ad for Mary Kay featuring the lovely model and actress Hannah Ware.   Creative Director: Abraham Bencid; art director: Jean-Paul Khabbaz.

Featured in this month’s issue of ADAC Reisemagazin, I had a great opportunity to shoot portraits of stylist New Yorkers in their favorite haunts.  From shooting a Blue Man on the steps of Lincoln Center, to fashionistas in the meatpacking district during Fashion’s Night Out, to an author in the New York Public Library, this shoot was a whirlwind tour through the iconic and eclectic spots of New York.  I’d forgotten how many amazing places there were….   Thanks very much for the keen eye and styling by Kathrin Leist and Julia Wilczok.

Happy holidays with the radiant Sara Ziff on the end-of-year cover for Healthy Magazine!  Photographed at Milk Studios NYC.

Rule number 1.  Never be photographed directly next to an Olympic athlete (thanks Kristen for being my buffer), especially when that athlete is  Olympic swimmer Dara Torres.  The astounding fact I learned when photographing Dara for Coastal Living is that Dara is about to compete in her 6th consecutive Olympic games.   Oh, and that she brought home 3 silver medals in 2008.  I don’t think just cutting out carbs is going to help me here.
