...BUSY, BUSY...

tomorrow is quite the busy day for me!

i have a meeting with a dear old friend, bobby hundreds, who is major, MAJOR in the streetwear community. the hundreds has grown into more than the t-shirt line it began as 6 years ago, it is a worldwide label, that includes cut and sew, shoes, sunglasses, and of course, fitted caps. they are so much more than a clothing company, they are a lifestyle. the hundreds has made it cool for nerdy asian kids that like sneakers, skateboarding, and punk rock (bobby), to get their law degree, run a huge company, and still celebrate the underground street culture that inspires them. even with his stuffy law degree, he gets to draw, skateboard, and wear t-shirts everyday...for a living. i admire him very much, and even with all his success, he is still the same bobby from before.

anyway, we are discussing something super cool, but i don't wanna say too much and jinx it...i promise i will tell you when it is in stone.

next on the agenda, im doing a maternity shoot! my fave! this time, i am lucky enough to shoot with model, diane sorrentino weiss, who is pregnant with twins!! we already booked to shoot her baby boys too, and i am so excited, since this is my first time shooting twins! will definitely post some images soon!

thinking about shooting my day tomorrow, since it is a busy one...maybe another 'day in my life' post??

let me know what you guys want to see, and hear about! if you have questions for me, email me! mariacarmelphoto@gmail.com

maybe i can do a q&a post!

here is an inspiration image for all of you to start your week off just right...
remember, the eiffel tower was not built in a day...

...LINDSAY AND THE RAIN...


hi everyone!

yesterday i had my shoot with the wonderful lindsay sloane. she was so fablous and fun to work with, and a total trooper! as you know, it was super rainy, overcast, and cold yesterday...and of course, we were scheduled to shoot outside. yikes!

problem? no way! we got some cute umbrellas, and went to work! i was lucky enough to have a great team on board yesterday... the wall group's kayleen mcadams on makeup, and richard collins on hair. amazing wardrobe from stylist steph ashmore, and my awesome assistant, eric bradshaw.

the look we created was all about being fresh, young and feminine. looking through images was fun to do, since there was so much great stuff. lindsay's personality is upbeat and fun, and it totally showed in her film. (just so everyone knows, i did shoot this digitally. film is only a term used to describe all her shots...if youre annoyed by that, sorry)

looking forward to being able to put some up from the day, and when the issue of eliza magazine comes out!

last thing for today...
tonight i speak at tri community at 7pm. i am super excited, and have a lot of important things to tell the students tonight. if you are going tonight, i will see you there. if you or someone you know are interested in having me come to your school and talk, please email me!

hope everyone is having a great day! i will leave you with some inspiration...
