New Product Photos – Santa Fe Stoneworks

We featured these knives at the Villager for the first time shortly before Amos and I moved to New York.  I love the detail put into every facet of the construction.  The handles are smooth and balanced, with the blade being every bit as beautiful.  I'm hoping to get a pocket knife of this style for my grandpa for Christmas.



This is probably my favorite handle style.  It really is that golden color with green shot through, and on the side like this you can see all the layers of green in the handle.  I chose a golden background to match the honey color of the wood.




This is a close-up of the marble handle of a wine opener.  The intricate pattern of the marble is truly breathtaking, and I used this textured green paper background to highlight all the earth tones of the stone.




This knife features Damascus steel, which is pressed over and over to create this pattern and a very strong blade.  I photographed this knife using some day-old bread we had from Amos's recent baking spree.

Louel Boutique

As of June or so, I will not be working at the restaurant anymore.  I've been planning to stay at home with the baby and focus more on photography, which I have kind of taken a break from recently.  In that spirit, I landed a new client this past week!  I'll be helping Lauren, owner of the Louel Boutique here in Clinton, by taking all her product/misc photos for her new website, promo material, and other misc uses.  She is an adorable, gorgeous, sweet person, and I cannot wait to work with her.


We did a test shoot last Sunday, just to try some things out and see how we work together.  For the splash pages on her website she wants this kind of natural, dreamy photos of women wearing the clothing she sells, so for the test shoot she modeled for me.  She is a model herself, so the photos turned out pretty well.  Here are a couple of my favorites, and you can expect a lot more in the days to come.

(Bonus news — a digital SLR, specifically a Nikon D40 or D80, is in the works for me!! *freakout.a.thon*)






















































I love these photos – she is a gorgeous model, and we captured the dreaminess that she wanted in these particular photos.  I love how she made herself part of the scene, instead of a model in the woods.  I am going to love working with her, I can already tell!!
