Emily The Intern

Posted: January 29th, 2010 | 5 Comments »

This week I have had the great privilege to have an intern. Emily contacted me a few months back asking to intern with me and I jumped at the opportunity to work with her! We have had so much fun working together, and especially learning together.

The week started out fast as I had a photo session in DC with Domain7 to shoot some staff portraits. So, early Monday morning Emily was learning the ropes of how to set up my studio on the spot, and she did a great job! It’s great to have someone to carry your camera bag, but more then that Emily has got a great eye, and always brings ideas to the table. I love having her help!

The rest of the week we have been working on my book M Is For Mountains. It’s an ABC’s book filled with colorful photographs for little kids. I have been working on this book with my nephews and nieces in mind.  It should be out sometime in February, and would make a great gift for all the babies and little ones in your life. (Just saying… I am not trying to sell you anything. Oh, wait. Yes I am. I want you all to buy my book when it comes out. That would be sweet!)

Here’s one of the photographs from the book.

N is for nest.

Here’s another photograph from the book we shot this week. Emily was kind enough to pose for it.

Q is for  quilt.

Yesterday morning we shot some photos for jewelry designer Virginie of Roland-Designs. I had shot some photos for Roland-Designs a few months back, and Virginie asked me to shoot some more for her. It was a very cold morning, but still fun and the photos turned out really well! You can order your own jewelry from Roland Designs in her Etsy shop.

My friend Ashley also did hair and makeup again for me and she did an awesome job! We started at 8AM, and we all had cups of tea to get us through! Tea is helpful when you’re tired and cold. Take note all you photographers! Here’s the photo fresh off the press.

We also took some photos for my brother Jamison. He has been working on his upcoming new album so we shot some more photos for him to use for promotion and other music related stuff. Go listen to his music here.  Ashley also did Jamison’s hair. I think she gets a gold star for her hair cutting and styling skills.

I have loved having Emily around all week and will miss her come next Monday when I am back to working all alone. Having an intern is the best!
