Kunal & Allison Revisited & Simple Things to Make You Happy

March 19, 2009

I was finishing up the final edits of this shoot Meg and I did with Kunal & Allison and found two more photos that I think are blog-worthy, but for some reason didn’t make the original post.

In other news, I spent sometime with Grandpa today, which I do as often as I can. While I was making some lunch for him and my great aunt, they were discussing how pretty a greeting card was that my great aunt had received from her daughter. Referring to the little girl on the front of the painted greeting card who is playing on a beach with a pail, Grandpa said, “It’s like she knows what life is about: finding simple things to make you happy.”

These words struck a chord in me. Grandpa, you couldn’t have said it any better! Here’s a quick shot I took of the card on my iPhone (so excuse the lack of creativity here…) :)

Simple things that have made me happy today:

- My dog Wolfie sauntering into my office, on his own accord, just to say hi.

- Having just enough creamer for one more cup of coffee.

- Walking outside and realizing I didn’t need a sweater because the weather was perfect for a tank top.

What simple things make you happy?

Just for Fun: Kunal Nayyar and Allison Paige

March 8, 2009

Kunal is an actor. You might recognize him as one of the nerds from the CBS show The Big Bang Theory. He is also a really nice, fun, and energetic guy, so I was really excited when Meg told me he wanted us to team up to do an editorial-type shoot for him! We were also really excited to have model/actress Allison Paige join us for the shoot! She totally rocked and added the perfect feminine touch to our themed shoot.

I had an amazing day shooting with Meg, Kunal, Allison and Morgan Cox, our lovely stylist for the day! And I had an equally amazing time editing and doing all the post-production on these images. It is so great to be able to go out and shoot for fun and have complete creative license to process the images in a way I wouldn’t necessarily process a wedding. It’s a way I keep inspired and creatively fresh… and it totally makes me happy.

Here are my favorites from the day! As you can see, the chemistry these two had was amazing. They would just stand there and do these amazing things– Meg and I would look at each other like “Are you kidding me? They are awesome!”

Meg knew about these train tracks that had an awesome view of the downtown skyline. I’m pretty sure we weren’t supposed to be here… but my motto is it’s better to ask for forgiveness than for permission. Anything for killer images.

This reminds me of an Armani cologne ad. Or maybe Dolce & Gabbana? Either way… I love it!

Tomorrow Never Dies release

This what I’m talking about as far as complete creative license to do whatever I want. I pushed this one pretty far with all the texture… I love pushing the envelope in certain situations.

Finally– just some STUNNING images of the STUNNING Allison Paige. Those eyes, that hair and that complexion… Super beautiful.
