If you’re one of my Facebook friends then you must know by now that David and I are moving to New York City. We’re somewhat sad to be leaving LA because it is home to us. We were both born and raised here in LA. But we really want to be in New York now so we’re very excited for the new change. Since we’re going to be based in NY, we know that we’ll have to do the workshops there now.
Check out the recap from our April 2010 seminar video below
After searching for the perfect studio we finally decided on Root Studios in Williamsburg. I met Aldanna from Root at the Le Book Productions event last month. Le Book is amazing and the Productions event is really a great opportunity for photographers to meet people in our industry. They had booths where modeling agencies, hair and make up agencies, production companies, retouch studios and studios were set up and we’re available to meet photographers and answer questions. I highly recommend you guys try to catch one of the next ones. You can find out more about Le Book and what they have to offer by going to their site. Any way, Root is on board to hold our workshops in one of their awesome studios and the first one we have on the calendar is September 18th and 19th. Once we’re settled in NYC we’re hoping to have our workshops every month. We’ll mostly focus on having them in NYC at Root Studio but one thought we have is possibly having a workshop in Miami in January and February. What a great excuse to get out of the cold and head down to the warm tropical beautiful city of Miami and meet some of you guys! That’s just a thought at this point but we’ll definitely be focusing on NYC for the next year! It’s going to be the same workshop that we held here in LA, just now it’s going to be in the great city of New York, our future new home!

Here’s the link to the New York Seminar for more information. And we’ll be having another LA workshop in August at Smashbox Studios. Smashbox has been amazing to work with. Dee and all of the Smashbox people deserve a big hearty thanks for all their help and love! So check out the schedule and I hope to meet and work with some of you very soon!
Melissa, great video recap of the seminar! So much stuff I learned from you has come in useful these past couple of months… Thanks again and hope to see you here on the East coast soon!
OMG OMG !! Just ordered my ticket NOW! I can’t wait to meet you!
Melissa, I’ve been not too active on fb of late so have missed this surprising bit of news. I just wonder where you get the energy for all this – your secret would be safe with me lol. I’m in touch with NYC togs and models on a regular basis so if you want any contacts there just yell out.
I attended the London Le Book seminar three years ago and was hugely impressed, I was there for hours and didn’t want to leave. It’s a hugely professional entity and it’s international networking with those is the know is second to none so a good choice there.
All the best with everything, I’m sure you’ll make your mark in NYC.
Good luck in NYC… I am sure you will be hugely successful!
Best Of Luck In NYC….. Hoping Wonderful times for u both : )
hiiii
dear so nice picture good luck for future.
Good luck in NYC, will have to meet up when i visit, as i never got to LA.. Look forward to the east coast work flowing in and the UK seminar in the future
I just wonder where you get the energy for all this – your secret would be safe with me lol.
After knocking Jada Pinkett-Smith for her pantless red carpet look, I think it’s only fair that I point out how fabulous her entire family looks in this photo. I know the Smiths are celebrities and have access to all sorts of stylists and free designer clothes. But you have to admit they look pretty terrific as a family. Does your family dress this well? I had to stop and think about what my family photo might look like if we pulled out all the stops on the red carpet. Except for myself and my 8-year-old daughter, the rest of my family could care less about fashion. So as much as I love my family, we are definitely not as chic as the Smiths. You
Good luck with your move to NYC!
I also want to wish u good luck moving to NYC!
I wanted also to type Good luck in NYC, but your script is blocking duplicate content so again, have a blast in NYC!
Best of luck! I still have plans to move to London in the next twelve months and that’s pretty daunting.

What a *fantastic* source of ideas and information! Due to commercial reality, I shoot mainly wedding photography. I *LOVE* fashion photography: regrettably it doesn’t pay the bills in Glasgow, Scotland whether there is very few paid commercial fashion jobs (tons of free stuff).
Keep up the good work – it’s inspiring.
David
photography becomes part of my daily life, the more shots the better..Good Luck !!
Its about damn time you made that move!
Expect me to look you up when you get here!
