Renaissance Woman

Whether it's interior design, photography, make-up artistry or writing, Joy Moyler does it all. This New York City native is the creative director for Armani Casa  in New York, designing interiors for celebrities like John Mayer, Adrian Brody and others that I cannot mention here. 

When she is not designing interiors, she is the studio make-up artist for many of the model shoots that you see here on this blog and on my website.

Speaking of blogs, Joy has an incredibly eclectic lifestyle blog, Haute Zone where she writes about everything from fashion to interiors, and from weddings to food. Her writing skills are on par with top level magazine writers.

Look at her spectacular work and be inspired by this Renaissance Woman!!

Cupcakes instead of cake for your wedding?

I recently had the opportunity to do a food photography job shooting cupcakes for Kaffeine Expresso Bar in New Rochelle. Forget about Magnolia Bakery, forget about Crumbs and go directly to Kaffeine for the best cupcakes you've ever eaten! I saw REAL butter and fruit being put into these delectable delights making the flavors scream. I tried several delicious flavors, but Tiramisu is my favorite!!!

If you are providing cupcakes for your wedding as many do these days, and getting married at the Surf Club, Greentree Country Club or any of the venues on Davenport Avenue you may want to consider this place.

Below are a few photos from the shoot...

Consider Hawaii for your honeymoon, or your next vacation!!!

My wife and I took a much needed vacation to the beautiful Island of Oahu, Hawaii for Christmas and New Year's. Hawaii is one of those magical places that you never want to forget. I usually do not take my camera on vacation, but this time I did, and I am glad that I did. Below are a few photos from the trip. The average temperature was 80....hello!!
