Lauren Harper Collection | Jewelry Photography

Even knowing full well that I don't get to keep them, I can't helping feeling like a kid on Christmas morning every time I open a new package of jewelry when I prepare for a photo session of Lauren's work.  The quality of each hand chosen precious stone; the vibrance of the facets and colors; the strong and still beautifully feminine designs... it has been fascinating to watch her work evolve over the years, and quite an honor to capture the journey!

Jewelry Photography | Lauren Harper Collection (new)

Photographing precious gemstones and couture jewelry presents a unique set of challenges.  This most recent shoot for the Lauren Harper Collection was highly satisfying; even more satisfying was hearing joy from an ecstatic client!

Art Dress by Nicole Finger


Nicole Finger, an incredibly talented painter (and lovely person) from Telluride, Colorado, asked me to photograph her this past weekend wearing the fruits of her latest passion, couture painting.

It began last year with an original creation for the Ah Haa Auction: a bold safari themed dress which she modeled during the live auction, adorned with a huge, live snake draped across her shoulders!

This year's spectacular dress (the second in what I certainly hope will be a long line of Nicole's art dresses!) takes a retro and artful turn, its inspiration being Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss."  The fabric is intricately painted with shimmering colors and then hand jeweled.

The piece will be auctioned during the live auction part of this Friday night's annual Ah Haa School "Artopia" fundraiser in Telluride.

Sparkles beautifully in late afternoon Colorado light... and on such a gorgeous artist!
