when Bari emailed me a few months ago asking me if I would come to New York to shoot the cover for her latest album, I was already intrigued. But when I read that she wanted to incorporate my vintage style with a fun cupcake theme- I was really convinced. During my time in New York last week, I traveled north a bit to the Byrdcliffe Colony, where artists reside for months at a time to help their art, and did a photo session there. The mountains and the forests were beautiful, the weather was perfect, and it all lent to a wonderful session with Bari. we had a blast scoping out locations, picking out cupcakes, getting her makeup done, and of course- doing the shoot. The entire experience felt more like vacation than work, because I got to spend some time talking to the other artist’s out there, going out to a delicious meal, and relaxing in a cabin in the woods. it was heavenly.

Her album “Anna and the Cupcakes” will be released on Valentine’s day and I can’t wait for it! If you get a chance, check out her music. She is a kids/family rock artist and her music is sooooo fun!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the session:
