I loved everything about Jesse’s look. The denim vest and zippered boots embody the casual coolness his look embraces. I caught him right as the sun was setting during the “Golden Hour” as photographers call it. This is truly the perfect time of day to shoot. You know what they say, timing is everything.
One of my favorite things about New York Fashion Week is the opportunity to photograph all my favorite bloggers. Rumi Neely of Fashion Toast is at that top of my list and has been for years. She was the first personal style blogger I started avidly reading. That was back in late 2008. Before Rumi, I really only cared about street style blogs. I guess Fashion Toast was my gateway drug.

Kate is the president and founder of TwoTara, a baby clothing company. I ran into her yesterday while I was wandering around the Gold Coast (what else is new?) and loved her Michael Kors-esque polished American sportswear look. She’s beautiful too, and was patient with me while I worked with the sunlight to get the images just right. She was also really, really excited to have been stopped by me, so I promised her I would get her photo up today. It’s something I never do, but it was so uplifting for me to hear Kate tell me how much it means to her to be featured on my site. I am so grateful to every single one of the people on my site for giving me the opportunity to photograph them, that I am usually the one saying “thank you.” It’s nice to be on the receiving end!
Editor’s note: my friends at Wolf Camera told me that flare is actually a good thing, and when I dropped in to show them my shots from the day they chose this as their favorite. Apparently flare is “in fashion” in the photography world. Silly me, I’ve been fighting it all these months!
