Lucky Girl

2 huge companies = KOHLS and Food Network

2 great photographers = Tyllie Barbosa and Robert Jacobs

1 lucky girl = me!

The above is exactly what happens when you add up the above equation.

 

You're looking at a recent project I completed. I art directed all the food photography for the complete line of kitchen product, sold exclusively at KOHLS...see the above packaging. We spent months going back and forth to NYC, living in the Hotel Gansevoort, walking to Chelsea Market, and working in the Food Network. 

I love my job. And yes, I know...I'm a lucky girl.

In The Middle Of Everything

I'm from Chicago and I thought I WAS in the middle of everything. But tonight, I realized...everything is right now. You hear people say, "let's find a party"...I've decided, "I AM the party". And tonight, it was at The Square.  

At Day's End

I Art Directed but would rather have been enjoying this.

When Life Gives Me Lemons...

I art direct the shot.

That's what I do, Art Direct.

Lately, I've been shooting a lot of lemons. (The above shot was photographed by Steven McDonald)

Why do people refer to "Lemons" as something bad...maybe there's a gift and it can be the best thing that was given to you. 

She Used To Be My Best Friend

That's right, she used to. 

That's how I introduce her. It's a joke, we both know why, we both love it, we both laugh our ass off.

She gives me great advice, I take some, I leave some, but I always remember it.

Today she gave me advice about Backroads and I took it.

I just booked my first trip with the company and I can't wait. The above will be my view in September.

Thank you Lexie! 

Jodan's Not The Only One Who Has Air

The new MacBook Air looks great, feels great, operates just as great as a Mac alway has. I'm wondering...if you can pick up wireless internet signal, why can't you pick up a wireless charge? When will this be invented? 

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of unraveling cords!
