I Love Taking Pictures

Okay let me rephrase that... I like taking pictures. I love capturing a moment, an emotion, the real person, telling the story of a moment in time for everyone to see. I love the look on my client's face when we've finished a shoot that has been more fun than work, the glow they get from having such a good time and the anticipation that dances in their eyes as they wonder if I captured what they want to be. And the look of utter delight when they realize that I did indeed capture their spirit and they look more amazing then they ever imagined. Yes, I like taking pictures. But I love being part of the beauty and love that is life and capturing it for all the world to see.

Prop Sale AKA Christmas in May

This is one of my favorite times of the year... the annual prop sale at Macy's. It is like Christmas all over again. Except the presents are neked mannequins and you have to fight a hundred other crazed mannequin lovers for them.

They hold the sale in a parking lot/field and crazy people, i.e. me, camp out over night to get a good spot in line. Then when they open the gate, everybody runs around like crazy trying to grab all of the cool stuff that you see in the stores.


I hope the sight of neked mannequin butts doesn't offend you.



I mean, how gosh darned cute are these dogs???? We have their big brother at home. Our mannequin family would be complete if only we could bring home one of these little guys.




I see you.

I see you again.





Look, its a Britney Spears mannequin!!

It appears the Britney Spears manaquin made this baby mannequin cry. There, there baby mannequin. Don't cry. 






Goodbye from all of the mannequins!

Great work Elise!

I had a mannequin in my studio for a while and frequently it would scare the hell out of me when I came in and turned on the lights.

I hope you found some nice stuff at the sale.
