Absolutely loving this shoot we shot on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with Baltimore based model, Nicole. We had a great time exploring the natural landscape of the shore, contrasting the muted background to her vibrant flowing dresses. Fabulous makeup by Faces by Mara and hair by Caitlin Gibbons.
Boutique Events
Meet Jean Wade Mayer & Emily Jean Villarreal, co-owners of Boutique Events. They met while employed at a catering company in Hunt Valley and shortly thereafter decided to start their own business together as event planners and consultants. Jean & Emily are partnered with Gertrude’s, a restaurant at the Baltimore Museum of Art. This partnership allows them to plan and coordinate all special events held within the venue. They also plan events in and around the surrounding area including weddings, mitzvahs, corporate functions, and residential soirees. They are deeply rooted in the Baltimore community and enjoy giving back by serving on committees and also producing many chic fundraising events around town. Boutique Events is a member of the National Association of Catering and Events and have spent a number of years on the board as Co-Director of Fundraising. This year they are co-chairing a committee for NACE National Conference that will be held in their hometown. Emily earned a BS from Virginia Tech graduating cum laude. Jean graduated from The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College, majoring in Hospitality Management. The combination of their educational and life experiences has without a doubt strengthened their reputation and allowed them to thrive in this industry delivering extraordinary designs and one-of-a-kind experiences. Loved working with these incredibly smart and talented ladies on their head-shots! Hair & Makeup by Up Dos for I Dos. Jewelry provided by Emily Williams at Stella and Dot.

"Rolid"
Since the last post I have been trying to concentrate on getting my photography portfolio going. As much as I love filmmaking, I also love fashion photography. An old friend of mine, Tao Thoma, asked me to shoot with him and his friend Chris Yu. Tao is an experienced Model/Actor who was showing Chris the modeling ropes. It was nice having Tao on set to set an example on how to pose. I don't really have an idea of how to direct a guy pose (since I am a girl and new at this). Hehe.
We shot the photos around downtown Boca Raton. For lunch, we stopped by this awesome little restaurant called The Cheese Course. I am a firm believer in keeping talent and crew energized with food! My favorite part of the day was having the boys climb this huge banyan tree I found. I also was lucky enough to work with Makeup Artist, Jaclyn Carmela! You guys should check her out; she is also a pretty rad model! Good times!
Fun Fact: The night before the shoot I had some chinese takeout with my grandma. We each had a fortune cookie after our yummy dinner. My fortune happened to say "Every artist was once an amateur." I don't know about you, but that kinda freaked me out!
