Good Girl Gone Bad

Wow!  Do you remember this girl?

This second shoot almost didn’t happen.  Probably the fastest we have ever done hair, makeup and styling!  We’re so glad it worked out because how often do you get to photograph the same person in two extremely different looks?  We’d love to hear which of the sessions is your favorite look on the stunning Lizz…

Elizabeth in Wonderland {teens + seniors}

We were both really excited to do a series with sweet, beautiful Lizz while back home. We wanted to pretty her all up for one session and rock her out for another.  It was really fun to do two completely opposite looks on Lizz and watch her go into character with each one.  After enduring all the primping, wearing a dress (gasp!), and riding a 90 pound fossil of a bike, we were surprised that she was still up for the second shoot!  Thank you Lizz for trusting us.  You are a beautiful soul.

The following images are ‘Lizz Enchanted’ …and in a short while we’ll post images from her edgier shoot.


This week I came across a photo of the same Zac Posen dress….who wore it better? Lynda Erkiletian from Real Housewives of DC or our own beautiful Lizz?

Vacation in the Valley

Ahh…Vacation! Sorry if the blog has been a little slow the past few weeks. We have been enjoying time by the pool, by the BBQ and a lot of time avoiding mosquitoes! The WHOLE Petays family -along with husbands, kids and some cousins were able to all get together and it was an absolute BLAST!!!

Here’s a few fun shots from Saskatchewan.

Melissa and I have done a few fun shoots together which we will post once we get home….its been a blast to be creative together and see what we come up with!

A walk in the Lower East Village

I haven’t spent much time down on the Lower East Side of Manhattan…so decided to take a little walk down there. Each area in Manhattan is very unique…The lower east side being very young, hip and ….gritty .

The neighborhood is full of interesting people….It makes me feel like wearing my Dr. Martens, brightly colored tights and my bowling hat. Oh! And I can’t help but mention that Lady Gaga grew up in this area…RaRa Oh lala!

I found this interesting….because of the new buildings and developments in the area, the neighborhood has been placed on the list of America’s Most Endangered Places. Who knew there was such thing…?

A few shots from the day:


If I have to be honest…this was the REAL reason I came to the Lower East Side….to check out this candy store-and I wasn’t disappointed.

Eventually the Lower East Side leads into Chinatown. A few from there….



Loved this couple. Just the two of them selling headbands on the street corner, sitting on crates…makes me wonder what their story is…I’m sure its amazing.
