SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Michael surveys a sea of plants

It’s the middle of Winter and if Nature had its way, nothing would bloom. Well today we are seeing something that we usually don’t see this time of year – flowers and plants in full bloom. Michael took the team to Cavicchio Greenhouses in Sudbury to conjure up some Springtime magic, even if it’s below freezing outdoors. That’s no problem, as the temperature in these high-tech greenhouses is a comfortable 75 degrees all year round. Surrounded by glimpses of the Spring to come, seeds of a beautiful shoot are sown with the terrific team from BJs .

GETTING READY FOR SUMMERTIME SUN

Since spring skipped Boston, we moved straight into summer! Our good friends at BJ’s Wholesale Club asked us to help out with their summer preview member journal and we were ready for a little sunshine in the studio. It was super fun to work with the kids and the team at BJ’s; who wouldn’t want to spend a day at the beach!

PIZZA PIZZA

We all decided to give up our summer diets for one day only when the smell of freshly baked pizza permeated the studio last month. There was no escaping the grip this cheesy goodness had on our senses – it smelled so good even the camera couldn’t get enough…

After a day of shooting and help from master food stylist, Catrine Kelty, we delivered the ad-worthy shot above. The ad is featured in this month’s BJ’s journal.

–

Catrine uses a heat gun to keep the cheese nice and melty until Michael gets the perfect shot.

Doubling as a prop stylist, Catrine never fails to bring a wide array of props… this lady really knows what she’s doing.

***CLIENTS! New feature: All of the images Michael shoots on set can be viewed real-time on the oversized flat screen TV in our client sitting area. Now you can sit back, relax, and oversee the shoot from the comforts of the massage chair!

After a long day, it’s time to serve up some hot slices.

IN STYLE WITH BJ’s

We had the great opportunity to shoot for the BJ’s Member Journal recently. Working with their creative team and many different talented stylists over the course of multiple days was a fun time. The variety of the sets and shots are one of the great parts of shooting for them, as well as seeing some familiar faces.

Always relaxed and calm, Sara Mills-Broffman stakes her spot on the ~~beach~~ set, for the next shot.

Prop stylist turned florist, Caroline Woodward trims the stems of these beautiful roses.

Food stylist Sunny Ricks sorts through and cuts up the best pieces of fruit for an attractive and appetizing looking platter.

Multi-talented stylist and hair/make-up artist, Courtney Kilmartin keeps a watchful eye on the models skin under the studio lights.
