Right before the pandemic started, I put an addition on my house–an in house photography studio with…drum roll…floor to ceiling windows and a skylight. I rarely have impeccable timing, but this one was a major win. Not only did I appreciate an extra work space that I could walk in and shut out an already shut out world, it became a place to reclaim creativity and eventually reconnect with others.
One of the first collaborations I welcomed into the studio back in 2020 was a mini bridal editorial, co-styled and shot with my friend Elizabeth Gopal of East Made Co. With gowns from Nicole Bridal, a veil my Aunt Kathy made for me with Italian lace, and a spring bouquet from Pomona Floral we captured these images of model Cole. Oh, and my mom’s puppy was visiting.
