NEW YORK NEW YORK A HELL OF A TOWN!!

Still a little jet lagged and tired as hell, but What a blast my New York trip was!!
I already updated you on the first half of my travels through Philly and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Columbus, Ohio....SO, now for the second half of my June /July travel adventures....NEW YORK....!!!!



I happened to be in New York City the night they showed a preview of the new SG UK movie!!
Aisline in one of the hottest scenes from an sg movie, ever!





It was kind of a last minute announcement, but there were a few ladies there to represent:


Yankee, Tore_ Auriga, Payton
Lux, Fabrizia, NicolePowers, ME and Spliff




after the movie, we had a little afterparty!
me and the adorable and awesome Payton


me loving on my sister, Yankee

me with the adorable Fabrizia


Nicole finding her inner SG....


I stole some photos from Zdroberts.
me Nicole Powers, Fabrizia and Payton


not a bad gang on a few days notice!


me Yankee and Nicole



It wasn't all fun and movie premieres and drinks....
I did shoot 6 sets, 2 Powder Puff PInup private boudoir shoots and a bunch of Powder Puff portfolio stuff

my amazing location for the week

I'm lucky to have amazing friends with great apartments!

with well stocked freezers!


hangouts!
my stylists and models! My stylists on the left (who actually roadtripped from Ohio to do the styling for me for the weekend!!) (the one on the far left is a future SG hopeful, then her little sister and then Auriga and Spliff getting ready for their shoots!.

we shot from 10:30 at night until 5:00 in the morning.
I'm so happy to have my own lights!!

I can take full advantage of my workaholism, now!

things like this help remind me not to work too hard!!



And I also shot the beautiful Fabrizia

shooting Fabrizia



Dhrti

(I really really sucked at taking candids of my shoots in NY), but the photos from the sets will have to do the talking.....in my next blog lol.


After shoots in NYC, I got to spend time with my family on Long Island!
It's nice to be able to take work trips and also spend time with my family! I am truly living the dream! And plan to make NY my home away from home and visit every couple of months!




Out drinking on Long Island with my little seeester, Yankee



home on long island with my sister and our friend
l


stayed at my parent's for a few days....
enjoyed the outdoor shower


outdoor shower

and hottub

bathing suit decisions


AND NY PIZZA (almost daily)..... (the secret to my weightloss in my 30s was actually 100% due to leaving NY and not having access to this amaazing food! ummm no joke!



I've been on a lot of flights lately. San Francisco is either my first or last stop! That's pretty awesome!


but there's nothing like seeing the redwoods when I'm about to land in Humboldt!



Sometimes I spend my time making silly diptics when it's inappropriate to open up my actual photos and computer on the plane....

random fun:

hang in there kids....it gets better bahaha


I've had every hair color....this doesn't even scratch the surface.... but it's funny



I found these in honor of Suicide Girls at Comicon and Alissa and Radeo's amazing new Batman set. Even though I couldn't make it, I was there in spirit!







And now for my photography :

I am working on clearing off my computer...and I prepped some random shots that I've been keeping around!

A shot I took of my adorable friend Waikiki

while she was shooting Walk on the Wild Side with Alissa

Some more shots of Yesenia
from the weekend I fell in love with her face in Columbus, OH!! <3

A shot of the adorable Rourke that I barely remember shooting....might have been when I first got the new camera but I thought she looked super cute anyway.


A shot of one of my favorite ladies to shoot, the gorgeous Patton in Columbus, OH in May after Hell City.

we already shot again when I was back in July, but I figured I'd share these since the other ones are about to be prepped.



Before Cruella and I shot
The Captain, we shot some portfolio stuff for Powder Puff Pinups

she was so adorable and we had so much fun that we decided to shoot my first set for SG...The Captain if you haven't seen it, go check it out and leave it some love


That was my first set ever on SG, but I have a ton of sets that I am working on right now for Suicide Girls and a couple for Zivity:

Shyla, Monroe, Spliff, Fabrizia, Aurgia, Dhrti, Tore_, Brulee, Kyla, Mourna, Bitten, and 6 or 7 new hopefuls who need names!!


I'll be submitting these, this week!
Kyla


Monroe


Mourna



Bitten



then I've shot a ton of portfolio stuff for Powder Puff PInups:
King, Pilot, Damsel, Lass, Patton, Yankee, Dhrti

and a bunch of private clients....

so needless to say I am pretty busy prepping


But I am starting to get things finished!!!

Damsel and I finally got together to shoot. I will be creating fliers for my Powder Puff Pinups shoots in Northern California with the results and selling prints soon as well!

Powder Puff Pinups

here are just a few of my favorites





I have really amazing timing, I was in NY for the SG movie premiere and in Ohio for a visit from the adorable Lass all the way from Scotland.
I got to shoot her for Powder Puff Pinups







we will be selling a few of these as prints as well.....
I'm working on getting a print store up and running within the next few weeks


Taking advantage of the time to work and the puppy and honey cuddles....I am back home in beautiful Humboldt County after the most amazing visit/vacation/shootfest!


I missed this puppy nose!!


With exactly one month to get everything prepped and submitted before I do it all over again in Oregon and California......



Portland and Ashland, Oregon in mid August
then Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco, California in late August/September

If you are in any of those cities and want to shoot with me.....

I'll leave you with this.....

I bought a new dress to wear for shoots in NY.... a few days later I was going through a box of old pictures and I found this one of my grandmother and mother at mom's wedding shower! Pretty rad!


3 generations of polka dots
