Yukon Gold

Before I did my first product shoot for MM Crystal, I was lucky enough to borrow a few show pieces to play around with. I'm not used to having products/ fashion to showcase and so this was a totally new experience for me.
Dana, one of my regular models, had mentioned a friend of hers to me one day when I had inquired about finding some up and coming designers to work with. Jessica had done some clothing design previously and I was keen to contact her and see if she would be interested in working together. I sent her a message and right off the bat I could tell she was sweet, kind and very approachable. Jessica was happy not only to provide clothing for shoots, but herself as a model as well. We decided that we would shoot together first as model and photographer, and then go from there....a perfect way to begin both our journeys into the fashion arena. I decided on Spencer Smith Park in the late afternoon.....Jessica arrived with more wardrobe options than I could have possibly imagined and with her expert taste we were able to pick the right outfits to compliment the jewelry, and off we went.
I am looking forward to working with Jessica again in the future, both as model and designer...she was an absolute doll and of course, is completely gorgeous!

Dana Mich

I met Dana a couple of years ago when I was transferred to the head office of the auto dealership group I was working for. Dana is an intelligent, charismatic, gorgeous, young woman with a great sense of humor and knack for british accents equal to my own....needless to say, we hit it off right away.
After only a short time working together we became great friends....I learned that she had done a lil bit of modelling work previously and we were both eager to work together on some ideas I had concocted. Lots of those ideas and many photo shoots later, I needed her help. I am continually trying to incorporate more of a fashion edge to my photos, which up until recently, have been largely story/theme based.
So of course, never one to turn down an opportunity to shoot, Dana was willing to brave downpour rain, swarms of mosquitoes and sticky humidity, to help me out.  She managed it with ease and grace.....in an evening gown and 6 inch stilettos. This girl is pretty amazing!

Nikki I

Nicole and I met quite a few years back when I had first started to dip my toes in the water of photography, so to speak. We did a very short outdoor shoot at the time, toughing it out in the freezing autumn weather...proving she already had the makings of a model. Just before Christmas she contacted me, and wanted to work together once again....I was of course, more than happy to oblige. We decided on a beauty/fashion shoot...something new and fresh. So...Nikki came over...latest trends of sock bun hair and fuchsia pout at the ready...and here's what we managed :)

MSquared

Recently I had the distinct privilege to shoot the launch of MSquared, a division of MM Crystal Jewelry.
It was my first official product shoot and I had a blast doing it.
MM Crystal Jewelry is from the brilliant design mind of Michelle Merizzi and has been featured both domestically and internationally at a multitude of red carpet events. Every unique & custom design is made with 100% Swarovski elements. The MSquared spring collection is geared towards a younger demographic but is every bit as beautiful as the glam pieces in the original MM Crystal line.
