Lindsey - Headshot-ted

Greetings Bloggers & Bloggettes,

December Blog-vember marches on! I hope that you all have been enjoying the ride so far. I have so much to share... Like this collection of portraits of the extremely beautiful, yet equally talented Lindsey Thorne. Lindsey & I got together recently on her turf...the urban paradise that is Williamsburg, Brooklyn. She needed some images for her modeling portfolio and I was looking for a subject to cameo in my upcoming promo video so...as fate would have it...we found each other. Believe it or not, Lindsey says that she is more comfortable with the camera in her hands and not on her face as she is a photographer first.

I'll let you all be the judge of that...










Linds - thank you for your love, energy and trust. You're amazing! And thank you to Mr. Anton Lorimer for tagging along on the shoot and capturing some killer live footage. (He even put his camera down for a few to hold my reflector...image that, T-Tone Lorimer assisting me :]) I'm so incredibly jazzed about the video...you are a master.

So tomorrow I board a plane for The Bahamas. I will try to keep up on blogging down there and hope that y'all can forgive me if the sun and sand inhibit my ability to do so. I will return with a full report.

Perfect Harmony - Jinny Kim & Koo Chung

"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams"
- Arthur O'Saunessey

Jinny Kim & Koo Chung were united through music, fell in love through music and will dance the rest of their days together - surrounded by the music which is their lives. It was a magnificent thing to witness and a day that I will not soon forget. I am so honored to have worked with them as I am a huge fan of their work, individually and collectively. I encourage you to check them out...really great stuff :)

They were joined by those who mattered most to celebrate their wedding at The Colonial Terrace Mansion in Westchester, NY. A morning marked by cool temperatures and gray skies gave way to a sun-drenched afternoon and good times were had by all.

I found myself in the roll of "3rd Shooter" as I was invited to come along to lend a hand to Mr. Kenny Kim and the lovely Vanessa Joy Scavone. I invited this roll openly as I was given the freedom to kick back and tune in. Here are a few that I came up with...





Chucks as groomsmen gifts?!?!? ...a man after my own heart :)
















I love how they laugh together. May your bellies always ache and your cheeks be forever sore :]

Here's a random tid-bit:
One of my favorite '70's rock tunes is a song called Black Betty by Ram Jam. Turns out that the lead singer of the band, Myke Scavone, is Vanessa Joy's father!!! How cool is that?!?! Black Betty was my profile song on myspace for years. Small world :) Click here to give it a listen if you're not familiar. ...and turn those speakers up LOUD!

Thanks for tuning in my friends. See you at the next installment of December Blog-Vember.

Traci & Brendan - A Caribbean Love Story

Greetings Dear Friends :)

Brrrrr. As the snow-covered freezing rain debacle accumulates outside the studio window, I take great pleasure in sifting through these images from not so long ago. I take equal pleasure in thinking about boarding a plane this Thursday bound for The Bahamas to reunite with my man...Mr. Kenny Kim...on another destination assignment. Good times lie ahead, indeed. In the meantime, I'm counting on these images to keep me warm.

Traci and Brendan were married this past September at El Conquistador Resort in sunny Puerto Rico. It was an honor, a joy & a pleasure to tag along to document this amazing journey. I've known Traci for some time and couldn't have picked a better mate for her. Both have such huge personalities that blend together perfectly. They share a love that walks the line between passion and comfort, and leaves hope in all who observe it that anything is possible. I love the love that they share and am so thankful to have witnessed it.

I am also thankful for the amazing crew that came along to make it all possible. Special thanks to Kelli Marsh, Kenny Kim and Anton Lorimer for your hard work and boundless enthusiasm. It really was one for the books! ...and to all who flew in to celebrate, thank you for making us feel so welcome.

So dear friends, I present:

Traci & Brendan

There is some pretty serious stew cookin' at Flint Studios. Please stay tuned all December-Blog-vember to find out more!!!

Thanks for stopping by, y'all :)

Around the World & Back Again...

Greetings Blog Nation!

In an effort to keep my workflow and delivery times on track for the many wonderful couples that I've worked with this past year, I've had to bump 'time spent blogging' to the end of my priority list. As a result, this year's Blog-vember has required a schedule revamp and will extend into December. Yes...Blog-vember in December. It's got a nice ring to it and what good are rules anyway?!?!? Who's to say that we can't have Blog-vember stretch into December?? I mean, 80's fashion has come back and no one could have ever seen that coming... So, no need to riot in the streets here, my friends, there is plenty slated for the upcoming month that is sure to satisfy. I appreciate your understanding and hope to hear from many of you throughout this exciting time ;)

The following are images gathered from Joanna & Keith's early fall wedding at Bristol Harbour Resort in Canandaigua, NY. Joanna & Keith share a genuine love and a sense of adventure that has taken them from their roots in the Northeast to the West Coast, South America and beyond. Being around them makes you believe that anything is possible, and from what I can gather, the sky is the limit for this new couple. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into your life...it was an inspiring vision to behold. And thank you to the Olsen and Touger Families for accepting us so openly and enthusiastically...it was a real honor. Finally, a big shout out to Kelli Marsh for once again giving so much of your time, passion and talent. You are a shining star :)

Joanna & Keith - Bristol Harbor, NY

Happy days dear friends. Thanks for stopping by.

What are you up to today??

Hello Bloggers & Bloggettes,

I don't mean to nag here, so I'll let my friends from yesterday do it for me. Get out...speak your voice...be part of the process.



Wishing you all nothing but the best.

What are you up to tomorrow??

Hello Dear Friends,

I hope that this finds you all well...and healthy, and happy and all things good. Tomorrow is election day in the States. Now I've never used this blog as a platform to spew political commentary or my opinion of the world at large...and I don't intend to start now. I did, however, come across this video, dug it's message and figured that I'd pass it on. Do with it what you will. Here's hoping that our collective decision will get us going in the right direction.




love.laughter.light,
