Back in August we came into NYC to photograph at the L’Oreal Tech Center on Fifth Avenue for Dark and Lovely, L’Oreal’s line of black women’s relaxers, hair color and styling products.  Dark and Lovely is celebrating its 40th anniversary and wanted to create a special advertorial page for magazines including Essence, and use the images for web and Facebook use.  The theme was what Dark and Lovely means to women, and how it makes you feel beautiful inside and out…and it was a whole lot of fun to shoot!  The three women weren’t models but you can’t tell that from the photos–they were great to work with–thanks Jayda, Ashley and C. Devone!  And many thanks also to Nicole from Bratskier and Damien of L’Oreal!  You can view more of our commercial work here!

 

Happy to see  that Sperry Tents used a pic from Caity and Matt’s Hill-Stead Museum wedding in an ad recently (lower right photo of the tent interior)!  Great tent maker, Sperry really delivers with a distinctive look and feel…and their onsite “tent guys” are simply the best…always ready to take care of the tent, even in a hurricane!  Gorgeous decor throughout the tent…a great job by Sixpence for your Shoe!

Looking for a great story this summer…check out the new book, Just Cate, which as co-authors Angela Martin and Noelle Alix note, “is a dual memoir and story of lifelong friendship, of being there for each other through it all.  When Noelle’s daughter Cate was born with Down Syndrome, we unknowingly began our second stage of growing up.  Discovering little by little that it’s the simple things that matter most.  And so life continues, the road behind us and the road ahead of us.  Forever friends, forever changed.”

Last year I photographed Cate in her blue robe holding her favorite fruit for the cover shot of Just Cate and it’s been great getting to know their families!  I love how the cover came out with it’s beautiful design from Liz Panke.  I recently spent a day traveling with Noelle and Angela to Angela’s parents’ home in the Hudson Valley to be videotaped and interviewed about the project.  In fact, that videotape was for B.I.G., an organization of women who are working on the next stage of the careers, going back to work after kids, completely changing what they want to do in life, growing their businesses…or like Angela and Noelle, driving a 10-year writing project to completion.

A huge congratulations to Noelle and Angela and Cate!!  You can order Just Cate at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble  or direct from their website: justcate.com.
