High Fashion / Couture Shoot...

Another awesome High Fashion Couture shoot with the East Coast Artists! Makeup, hair & styling by the wonderfully talented Laura Marino / Laura Marino Studios. This woman never disappoints and always comes up with the most amazing looks for our models. She is flawless! And none of this would be possible without all of her hard work and dedication!

A big thank you to all of our models: Meagan, Morgan, Annaliese & Katie.

Photographers: Jared, Vanessa, Michael, Jake and myself! See more from this shoot here.

Editorial Fashion Shoot...

A couple previews from a recent Editorial Fashion shoot with the East Coast Artists group. We had a great time in the studio with models Renee and Mandie. It's always nice to get together with fellow photographers and let our creativity flow.

A big thanks to our models: Renee & Mandie! And our photographers: Jared, Vanessa, Jussara and John. More previews here!

Abandoned Warehouse....

This shoot was AMAZING! We found an old, abandoned warehouse near Evans Mills NY (thank you Michael) and scheduled a huge model shoot with my East Coast Artists group. I think there were around twenty of us shooting at this location, carrying our portable flashes around, exploring every nook and cranny in this three story warehouse! Thankfully law enforcement did NOT show up because my husband told me before I left that he would not be bailing me out of jail!

We will be going back again in the spring, probably several times as a group and individually as well. There is still so much I need to explore at this location but not during the winter months. Our poor models were freezing!

Apple Orchard shoot with the East Coast Artists

A fall fashion shoot on location with my East Coast Artists group at Apple Grove Farm out in Mexico, NY! We had such an amazing time shooting here despite a little bit of rain and drizzle and the cold temperatures. The models were such troopers braving the cold and rain for this shoot. Thank you all ladies! You were FAB!

The location was so PERFECT! Apple trees, lots of tractors, a barn, crates and other cool stuff. It was just an incredible shoot!

And after the shoot I think we all headed to the gift shop and bakery to pick up some goodies. I bought a homemade apple pie! Yummy!

A huge "thank you" to our beautiful models: Alicia, Lisa, Keria, Morgan and Aubrey! Our awesomely talented photographers Nicole, Kelly, Tristi and Kami. And especially to Mark, the owner of Apple Grove Farm for allowing us to shoot on your property!

East Coast Artists....

Happy to say my new East Coast Artists group is a huge success! We already have nearly 200 FANS on our Facebook page! I'm so happy and have been getting nothing but positive feedback so far from members. All of the photographers, models, makeup artists and stylists are wonderful! Everyone works exceptionally well together and we are all willing to help each other.

We have all been shooting like crazy! I wanted this to be an active group! Lots of group model shoots at different locations all across Central New York.

Check out our Facebook page here to see some of our recent shoots! We've done a "Twilight" themed model shoot, a beach shoot, two boudoir sessions, a High Fashion Shoot and several mentoring sessions in the studio! Shoots in the works for September/October include a Senior Shoot in downtown Syracuse, Apple Orchards in Mexico, a Fall Fashion Shoot and an Alice in Wonderland themed shoot.

Here's one of my favorite shots from our Twilight shoot out in the woods at night! It was so much fun and challenging too!

Megan in the Studio...

A few images to share from a model shoot with my East Coast Artists group back in July. We had a great time shooting together, practicing posing and just hanging out! These shoots are always a lot of fun!

Our model for the day - the beautiful and talented Megan Mahaney! You really can't take a bad picture of this lovely young woman! She is such a natural!
