Just back from a long weekend in Paris — France is where I lived when I was just beginning my photography career, so every once in a while I make a pilgrimage to get reinspired.  The recipe: wander aimlessly (everywhere), window shop (Colette), eat decadently (Le Pré Catelan), listen to music (Caveau de la Huchette), and live a moment of luxury the French way  (Hôtel de Crillon).    To see my happy snaps, click here.

On a side note — my husband and I recently entered into collaboration with a tremendous chef and very old friend, Cheyne Morrisby, in the establishment of a new boutique restaurant, Cheyne’s, in Cape Town, South Africa.  If you happen to be in town for the World Cup, please stop by…

ALLI launches a newly redesigned website with a series of lighthearted images.

Behind the scenes at the shoot for the Clinique Fresh Faces.  The winners – Monica, Eartha, and Misha – were disarmingly sweet, and a delight to have on set.  Plus, the camera loved them all – see their shoot in Teen Vogue April 2010.

Just finished shooting/editing a short for the design house Felissimo for their holiday pop-up exhibition JAPAN BRAND: The Wish List.  20 kids, a dad and a dog in one day – I loved it!

Some clean, fresh beauty in studio, this for an ongoing campaign for Walmart.

Congratulations to German Instyle, celebrating their 10 year anniversary with their October 2009 issue, featuring a fashion story with Poppy Delevigne in New York.

Rain and dreary weather taxed our shoot, but we still managed (see dedicated crew above) to pull off some surprisingly sunny shots for St Ives.

Very excited about this new short I just shot showcasing No.6 Store.  Thanks again to the A-team: AD Marilyn Kam, DP Mike Harlow, stylist Karin Bereson, makeup Julie Tomlinson, hair Angela Soto, production Nikita Romanoff and Gavin Stevens, model Stephania (and Roberta Boltin for the scenic location).

Just out, a big family celebration set in the exquisite english countryside for Boden.
