The Wordsmith

 
The following images were a fun collaboration with my friend Elissa, who is applying for a copywriter position. Rather than just turn in a traditional resume, Elissa wanted to make herself stand out and came up with the idea to do an Entertainment Weekly feature on herself. We played up the idea of a wordsmith and tried to create a blacksmith type environment where Elissa could forge her text. In only two days time, we were able to dream and gather up the props needed to pull this shoot off.

Mrs. Claus

A few weeks ago I was honored to photograph Mrs. Claus herself...OK, well maybe not the actual Mrs. Claus, but pretty close. :) Ginger Parkinson is a local and acclaimed storyteller. She tells stories year round, but if you are looking to jazz up your holiday party this year, she's your gal! You can learn more about her Christmas appearances here and listen to some of her fantastic stories here. We are obviously big fans.
