I'm not sure that I know anyone who is more busy at the moment than my client/ friend Alison Dinerstein...who is not only preparing for her son's bar mitzvah (which I'm of course shooting) in a few weeks but is also launching a brand new business venture called Artisan Kitchen this year. I have known Alison since 2007(ish) I suppose when she booked me to photograph her daughter Zoe's bat mitzvah in 2008. One of my favorite things about this job is the fact that I get to work with the same families for multiple occasions over the course of many years. That's why I'm never sure whether or not I should refer to someone as a client or as a friend, because really they are both. So when Alison needed a headshot for this new business it was just one more chance for me to drag her into the

Lindsay Rush is the most delightfully talented young song writer who has been a FB friend for so long that I wasn't sure if we had actually met before or not. But since she was in need of some non-specific pictures for professional and personal use, we just decided to play in the studio for a couple of hours to see what we got. And since one of Lindsay's BFFs/ makeup artist Jen Shelton was so lovely as well, we did pictures of them together...because after all, who doesn't want a gorgeous portrait of themselves with their best friend? At some point I would just die to have a Young Hollywood cover Vanity Fair style portrait of myself with my 5 best girlfriends from high school. That would be divine.

So I need to do some major catching up on this blog! I'll start out with the lovely and talented Ngoc Nguyen of Skybox Event Productions who I had the pleasure of seeing on Saturday. Ngoc and I met at an ISES event a couple of months ago and I was thrilled when she asked me to shoot a headshot for her new website that is launching in a couple of weeks. Yay!
Stay tuned...I will be launching a new wedding blog in a few weeks as well as a new website for Studio Diana Weddings!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to do a headshot for one of D.C.'s up and coming stage actresses. Christina is a lovely 14 year-old girl who is currently playing Cosette (the older version) in Les Miserables. This girl has some really incredible hair and a big future ahead of her, she's also (so I'm told) a fabulous ballet dancer. It was so much fun to work with your Christina, someday I will see your name in lights! :)
Here are a few of her headshots...
Stay tuned for images from Nikki & Peter's wedding coming soon!

RETOUCHING FOR BEAUTYI checked with my friend Jackie to make sure she was okay with me using her as an example for a little lesson I've been wanting to do about how to retouch faces for beauty-type images. Obviously she said yes and since she's a beautiful girl anyway, it was very easy just to do a few things to make her headshots "pop" even more.The first thing I did for this image (which I shot in raw on a Canon 5D with a 70-200 f2.8 lens) was to take a look to see what I could do to enhance it. The first thing I usually do with women (and we all have some issues) is to see what the skin needs in order to improve the overall image. That usual entails a little bit of work under the eyes and maybe cleaning up a few minor blemishes and softening
