Quail

Just a little throw-back to a rainy day during fashion week in New York last September. My good friend Michelle did an amazing job making her girls (and her wonderful line Quail) shine despite the setbacks in the weather.

Is it weird that I’ve had this GAP tear-out of Scott Schuman with me for a year and a half now?  Wrinkled and slightly moldy, it’s hanging alone above my desk while I wait to order some artwork for my workspace. Well, a couple of months ago, Schuman posted this photo on his blog, which [...]

So my current early-to-mid-fall-New-York-subway-commute music of choice lately has been The National‘s album “The Boxer.”  My favorite song on the album, a song that is both haunting and soothing, is “Green Gloves.” Well yesterday morning I opened my mailbox and pulled out a padded envelope.  When I saw the return address I had a pretty [...]

Well for those of you who didn’t know this, I applied for a job in Sonoma county at a winery called Murphy-Goode.  The job description is simple: “We want to hire a social media whiz (your title will be “Murphy-Goode Wine Country Lifestyle Correspondent”) who will report on the cool lifestyle of Sonoma County Wine [...]

I did a shoot a couple weeks ago with my friend, Lindye Maples. We were both updating our portfolios. It was a fun shoot. Check it out.

Sweet Sweet Rebel.  Quail Fall 2009 Collection Fashion Show.

Last night  Michelle Williams, founder and designer of the clothing line Quail, hosted a party and fashion show in New York for her 2009 Fall collection.  Unfortunately, due to an emergency back home in Indiana, I was not able to photograph the event.  However, my roommate and incredible photographer, Ira Lippke, covered my butt and [...]

I did a serendipitous photo shoot today with my friend Desiree here in my neighborhood.  It wasn’t very planned and we only shot for just under and hour, but I think the resulting shots have got me pumped to do another shoot of this nature (and title) in the future.  Maybe as soon as spring [...]

Went for a walk through Portobello Market and Notting Hill yesterday with one of the wonderful friends I’ve met since I’ve been here. And she says she’s not photogenic…

I’m sitting on my parents couch in Edwardsburg, MI after a 42 hour train ride, 4 hour IKEA run, and 3 hour drive (through) snow. I’m too tired to do anything else, but I wanted to get this posted. I worked on this project my last week in Long Beach. It’s a sampling (but not [...]

Ashley in wonderland.  Long Beach, CA.

I wanted to try and pace myself a little more because I haven’t updated my blog (before today) since this past weekend and I’ve been flashing those bulbs and letting that shutter fly all week so I have a lot of stuff to put up. These photos are most certainly a work in progress. They [...]

Cory Cramer Shoot #1
Cory Cramer Shoot #1

Well, Cory was truly a good sport the other day. As was Jess who assisted me. Everything was hap-hazard and helter-skelter and mostly each shot was planned on the spot. As a result I had a vast array of non-congruous pictures mixed in with these 2 shoots that I’m going to post. I’m posting them [...]
