I went out with the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service today to photograph the devastation caused by recent wildfires. We drove through miles and miles of burned forest, still smoldering in places. Firefighters are working hard to save structures that are still standing. We saw homes untouched by fire, but so many are completely [...]
It was a rainy day, but that didn’t keep guests from having a great time in this intimate wedding in the ancient town of Stamford, England. The ceremony was in the local registry office, with the reception at The George Hotel. Dinner was in a private room with everyone seated at a large table. It [...]
Gerry and I had fun photographing this Austin band, and got to listen to great music while they jammed during the session! Many thanks to Gerry at Hanan Exposures for providing the studio and shooting this with me.
In 2008, Lauren Bush launched a new fashion brand, Lauren Pierce Atelier. By sourcing fabric that is handmade by artisans around the world, as well as eco-friendly fabrics, this women’s wear line lives up to high environmental and humanitarian standards.
President George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush attended their first fashion show, and I got to witness it! Mom, George said to tell you he’ll call you soon to get together for lunch. CrOp by David Peck is a fun and quirky clothing line with a conscience. CrOp is short for “creative [...]

Twice I’ve gotten to photograph Christian Siriano‘s Spring 2011 collection, I love it!
Cesar Galindo kicked off Houston’s first Fashion Week!
I had a great time photographing this event last night. A special thanks to Gerry with Hanan Exposures for being a second shooter!
I love Naeem Khan‘s Spring 2011 Collection! Here are a few of my favorites.
Lesson #231 from Fashion Week: backstage access gives you two very valuable things. A look into preparations before the show and picking a spot in the media riser early. I found a spot to leave my backpack on the media riser and went looking for interesting moments to capture.
Here are a few from Rebecca Taylor‘s Spring 2011 Collection.
I love Tommy Hilfiger‘s Spring 2011 collection! There were quite a few celebrities in the audience, but I really wanted to meet Neil Patrick Harris. I heard that Tommy Hilfiger’s people were fairly nice about letting folks backstage, so after the show we bolted through the crowds to try to get backstage. They ushered us [...]
Here are my favorites from Diane von Furstenberg‘s Spring/Summer 2011 Collection.
Custo Barcelona‘s Spring/Summer 2011 collection shown at Fashion Week in NYC.
The Zac Posen show was definitely the most eventful for me so far. I made friends with some girls in the second row of the media pit and managed to squeeze between them into an amazing spot. I finally got full length shots! During the show a runway model fell…the room gasped, but she gracefully [...]
I can see myself in Vivienne Tam‘s Spring 2011 collection. It was really hard to narrow down my favorites!
Prabal Gurung‘s collection was so colorful and fun to photograph!
Tadashi Shoji’s Spring 2011 collection was absolutely stunning. I expected a runway show, but really enjoyed being able to walk around the display. When the crowd thinned out, a woman approached him and thanked him for “making beautiful clothing in my size”. She is a size 16 and not many designers make clothes that fit [...]
We just happened to be in DKNY when Christina Ricci and Ben Gordon came by for FNO. We got a few photos of them before moving on to Bloomingdale’s, Calvin Klein, Payless, Coach and Stewart Weitzman. At Bloomingdale’s there was a Vegas night and model Irish Rose let me put on her feather headdress. I [...]
Richie Rich’s show started with ballerinas and ended with Ellen DeGeneres. I loved how sassy the models were! Ice T and his wife Coco were speaking to the press after the show, and while I felt compelled to jump in and take pictures of them I just can’t bring myself to post the picture of [...]
I’m a t-shirt and jeans girl, and usually both are baggy. I love photography, but until now I haven’t had an appreciation for fashion. This is my second show in, and I’m actually starting to enjoy the clothing! Christian Siriano began designing at just thirteen years old and attended the Baltimore School for the Arts [...]
After a morning of misadventures through the subway, my colleague Gerry Hanan and I were in line for our press credentials. It was the longest line I’ve ever been so happy waiting in! Reality began to hit me…I’m here in NYC to shoot Fashion Week for the first time. We squeezed in to Richard Chai [...]
I had the opportunity to attend a few Austin Fashion Week events with my friend Gerry Hanan. Being a part of this type of event was a first for me, and I loved every minute of it!
What a gorgeous wedding! I was a second shooter for Gerry Hanan with 2 Are Now 1 Wedding Photography. The wedding was in Woodville at the Wheat House, which has been in Taylor’s family for generations. Here are a few of my favorites from the day!
Today was the first time I met Mai, but I had so much fun! She has a great personality, which is evident in these shots. The furry hat is my personal favorite.
Monday we drove about an hour outside of Austin to the Exotic Zoo Resort. We took a guided Safari tours as soon as we arrived, and later on some friends and their kids joined us for an evening of ‘camping’ in the on-site cabins. At dusk we drove to Johnson City to see the Christmas [...]
Walking through Bosham it was cold and brisk, but we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day. I even handed the camera to my husband to take pictures of me and my daughter…a rare occasion!

On a recent trip to visit my family Cincinnati, I pulled my little brother and sister aside and took a few pictures of them in front of their house. I think they turned out very cute, but of course I’m biased!
We went down to Symphony Square this morning for the Children’s Day Art Park. It was a Teddy Bear theme: a teddy bear contest, teddy grahams, teddy bears everywhere! We sat in the shade and enjoyed the music and fun. I brought my camera of course, and had nearly given up on getting any photos [...]
