Robin Smith General Counsel of Lego for Corporate Counsel Magazine

What a great experience photographing Robin Smith, General Counsel of Lego for Corporate Counsel Magazine…yes, I did have an entire Lego town in my closet as a kid and traveled around Europe by myself at 20 making sure one of my stops was the original Legoland in Billund, Denmark!  Knowing the U.S. headquarters was in my state when I moved to Connecticut was pretty exciting…and that our town of West Hartford’s mayor worked there was even bigger!  So when we got the request to photograph Lego’s head lawyer, General Counsel Robin Smith in a fun, playful way at the headquarters, I was thrilled.  Robin was a complete pleasure to work with…up for throwing Legos, building Legos and giving us a complete tour of headquarters…even the R&D lab where we saw some top secret future Lego sets.  What struck me most was that every cubicle had Lego models on display and that every conference room had a bowl of Legos that meeting attendees were encouraged to build with…during meetings…what a great corporate culture!

Gloria Steinem Photo Shoot for Maclean’s Magazine

Wonderful meeting the lovely and remarkable Gloria Steinem for a photo shoot for Maclean’s magazine post her recent speaking engagement at Holyoke College.  Definitely the youngest 82 year old we’ve ever met!  I really wanted to show her warmth (thanks Mike for telling stories about your dad!)  I’ve since picked up her latest book, “My Life on the Road”…a great read and highly recommended!  There’s also an interesting documentary on HBO right now…an amazing woman who changed a lot of attitudes.  Both are great for learning more about this amazing woman!

Money.com Photo Shoot:  Karen Hammerness

We recently headed out to Hudson Valley to photograph the delightful Karen Hammerness, Director of Educational Research and Evaluation for the Natural History Museum for Money.com.  We did a variety of set-ups depicting Karen in her home, including one with a reminder of the money lessons she’s taught her girls which they chose for their final image.
