Why is only half the wall styled out? B/c that's the only bit of wall y'all are gonna see when this shiot goes 'live'!

We also served up a bathroom sink moment:

Everything is hung so low b/c the star of this shot was all of 3'8" tall, y'all! AND NO, Betch, it wasn't ME! Here's how it was framed on the monitor:

Then we tricked out a little bedroom scene too:

This one looks a little janked for a kids' room, but it was an added shot so y'all know we had to WERK with what was on hand...but I think it's still festive & fun...y'all know we had to pull out the ole, 'hang the holiday cards from a ribbon' trick...HAWT!

Oh Fa La La La La...La La La KITCHEN CUTENESS:

Apartment Shoot

in , , , , , , ,

Y'all, I shot bits of our apartment back in April 2011 with the uber-talented, Bob Martus: A pic of two green striped mid century lounge chairs in PJ Mehaffey's apt shot by Bob Martus

Catch the rest of those shots in my portfolio section...anyway, We always knew we weren't finished with the shoot-- we just didn't realize it would take damn near two years to make it happen!?! Well, here we are, getting back in the photo groove and finishin' what we started:

No, I'm not moving, y'all...

This is what goes down when you get a photographer and a prop stylist all up in yo grill-- in yo face with jumblin' up yo shiot like you was movin' but all your really doin' is takin' a picture of yo house! That's called GLAMOUR and consider yo-selves, schooled!!!

And here in NYC, we grab power WHEREVER we can scrounge it up...this one kitchen outlet is powering a photo shoot AND tonight's dinner, simmering in the slow cooker! YES! Y'all know I'm all about double-value in my house!

Even my poor dog was all wide-eyed and feelin' bamboozled, wandering from one mess to the next:

Cant' wait to share the fab pics soon!!! Patrician Court realness can't be denied! XXOOOO!

More Hot dropped in July-- Janet Jackson style!

in ,

A screen grab of the July 2012 issue of Prevention Magazine featuring Janet Jackson July just keeps on giving up bounty y'all! Check out my latest prop styling in this month's Prevention Magazine featuring Ms. Jackson, if you're NASTY, which I certainly AM. Shot by the amazing and effervescent John Kernick! I was also privileged to get to work again with the incomparable food maestro, Lori Powell, whom I first met and worked with back at Real Simple...she's tearing it up as the Food Director at Prevention now! Tear Lori! And of course this shoot wouldn't have been nearly as zany without Prevention's spitfire Photography Director, Marybeth Dulany, who changed all of our lives forever by singing One Direction's, 'What Makes You Beautiful'...check out these highlights:
