Pharmaceutical advertising shoot, Dec 2010
This was a great way to end 2010-  Three shoot days, three concepts (family, couple, friends), high energy and in my documentary style.  What more could I have asked for?  It was amazing to work with the stellar folks at Juice Pharma, and of course the wonderful producer extraordinaire, Agatha Wasilewska.

Julia celebrates 7
Yesterday was Julia’s 7th birthday party upstate(ish) in my mother’s backyard.  Here’s a few of my favorites. I didn’t jump in even though it was so hot, unless you count rescuing a praying mantis from the water before the chaos ensued.
