It's Summer, It's time to throw one on the BBQ, A steak that is! Summer has certainly hit NYC, with the Air Conditioner going round the clock already, The city always comes alive over Summer, I always feel like having fun but fainting at the same time! For a Stylist beating the pavement for Props is a hazardous activity, fluids is the key, iced lattes all round! 


For the Jun issue of Good Housekeeping we shot a Grilling Story, I got to work with a very swollen Kate Mathis, Congrats on baby Scarlet who entered the world just a couple of weeks ago! Kate being the trouper she is was working right up until Scarlet's birth just about and low and behold is shooing another GH story with me tomorrow! 


The mood for the story was determined to feel outdoors of course, a little hard to do in end of winter, beginning of Spring when we shot the story, but by using dappled light through glass and plenty of foliage in hand to help create the illusion. We wanted to give the story and everyday casual feel, a sweet nod to some Americana, something I always love to do since my BBQ experience as a child consisted only of Fosters and Shrimps on the Barbie!, I say this tongue in cheek of course! ; )
