Baby on board

in portraits

 I have to hand it to all the mother's out there - pregnancy is tough. However, what they say is true - there is a glow, or something special within a mother-to-be. I hope I captured what I saw in Rose over the weekend - a beautiful woman excited to meet her new baby girl. Best of luck Rose. 

Here are some photos from our photo shoot.

Spring cleaning

in promotional

Phew! Its been a long week of preparations, but after the amazing sale the studio was to get ready for a few changes. 

Fist off, the vintage clothing is now exclusively available online at www.etsy.com/shop/RoyaleBoutique. Check back often - you will find new additions, as well as the debut of Royale's first lookbook. 

Secondly, with all this spring cleaning Royale has more room. The doors were opened to Danger Cave Media - filmmakers. Check them out at http://dangercavemedia.com/ .  Make no mistake Royale is still rocking it at the 103 Fourth Studio for meetings and photo shoots. However, now there is more creative energy in the air. I am very excited to welcome Nick and Kyle from Danger Cave Media to the roster here. 

With all this change the hours of operation will have to keep up. Royale Boutique will not be open from Tuesday-Saturday. Although regular office hours are in effect meetings, photoshoot and viewings are now by appointment only

So many changes and new offers check back soon as more great announcements will be made here.

Wine - the best prop

in vintage

Ah, the nectar of the gods!

I cannot think of a better prop then a great glass of wine. Really, it looks classy, tastes great, and makes for some sexy photos. Not so long ago I had the pleasure to photograph Alison. Our theme? You guessed it...wine! With a large vase of corks, a great glass of red, the empty bottle, and Alison's sexy self we managed to create some wonderful photos. This is a little taste of the results.

Dolls

in fashion

Beauty photographs from a recent shoot I did where the concept was based around the idea of classic porcelain dolls - styled after the Renaissance, Rococco, and Victorian eras. Pared down from actual porcelain doll-types, these simplistic versions offer a spark and re-imagining on these classic doll themes.
