’80s Escape: Pizza Night!
Ready for another retro summer experience?! This time it’s all about the pizza. Because back before we knew the dangers loading up on carbs and sugary soda, indulging ended in a wonderfully full stomach…and (if I’m being honest) a slight queasy feeling. God, I miss the ’80s!

The Blob vs. The Pumpkins
Happy fall, Everyone! Each year I style a Halloween photo shoot featuring a pumpkin project with themes such as “terrazzo” and “iridescent”. This year’s Halloween shoot is inspired by the 1988 remake of The Blob, along with current trends in art and still life photography.
