We are cover star's at SMH, Inc with our wreath making the Nov cover of CB2's latest Holiday themed catalog. We have featured some preliminary images already in previous drops and on the net, but this is it folks, The main catalog out for the season. This is where all our images styled for the season are featured.

Here you will see some new images that we shot in Chicago some months back with the wonderful Photographer, Jonny Valiant

All shot in-house at the Crate & Barrel studio, we get to work with an amazing team that pull out all the stops, All sets are designed and built on site, We spend a number of days designing the different sets for different spreads being conscious to mix up the look and feel of each set. this door on the cover was custom made and has a beautiful arch design which is very difficult to make. We hope you enjoy the remainder of the CB2 images SMH, Inc had the pleasure to work on.

SMH, Inc is happy to see some more holiday shots appearing online for CB2. We recently worked on the Holidays for CB2 in Chicago with the wonderful Photographer Jonny Valiant

These images appear largely in the new Gift Guide and online in banners on the site.

Holidays are always fun at CB2 with a new range of product available each year. My favorite thing is to see what nutcracker we will be featuring as the theme swaps out from year to year, This year he was a superhero so we got to come up with the concept of a superhero in his own custom mini metropolis. 

Pineapple motifs make a big splash this year and we had fun with pineapple print and planters.

With only 2 months left till Christmas day, It's time to start thinking about the season, Look for more images soon for CB2 from SMH, Inc in coming posts

For Fall this year, SMH, Inc travelled to New Hampshire to work on the latest catalog for The Garnet Hill Fall Catalog. It's always a pleasure to head north to work on these projects. This time we got to work with the very talented Photographer for the first time, Ryan Liebe which was a pleasure.

We have had a long history with the company and are very familiar with the product and customer. With a very edited approach and with the country of Italy as inspiration, we worked with beautiful stucco inspired sets and created warm and moody environments that co existed with the fashion element of the catalog that was actually shot in Italy (lucky them! ; )

We have since ventured up again where SMH, Inc actually art directed the next catalog due out next year for Spring, look out for that one soon!

Williams Sonoma Home has embraced Holidays in full force with their new Holiday catalog for 2015. Working once again with the wonderful Photographer Paul Raeside Studio Marcus Hay, Inc spent a number of weeks this year in San Francisco shooting for both Williams Sonoma Home and Cooks, stay tuned for more posts!

Williams Sonoma Home this year has embraced animal print, faux fur and plaid mixed in with lots of red, green and metallics, particularly gold as an accent. The feeling is very luxe and majestic. 

Traveling to Sonoma we spent much of the shoot in a magnificent house on the hill that became the backdrop for many of these photo's.

Thanks to my fantastic Assistants Andrea Greco and Tessa Watson for all the present wrapping and trimming, It took a good part of the day just to dress the tree that stood at a whopping 9 feet tall.

Hope you enjoy the festive spirit and it gets you in the mood for the season.

It's Holidays again in catalog world and what is a better one to start with than CB2. Studio Marcus Hay has just completed it's round of Holiday shoots and have promptly moved onto Spring but right now as the weather cools and we had into the season of celebration, it seems appropriate to finally embrace this for real.

Working with Photographer Jonny Valiant is always a great experience and with a few weeks in Chicago, Studio Marcus Hay once again loved working with the team, special thanks to Ronnie Haynes and Cory Eigenschenk my wonderful assistants who did an amazing job of keeping calm and collected even when a few decorations fell off the trees.

This is only a soft sell version for the Holidays with CB2, stay tuned for the bumper issue for Christmas coming out soon.

For the September edition of the Design With Reach catalog, Studio Marcus Hay, Inc joined the team once again to shoot a batch of new images in locations in Brooklyn, Manhattan and The Hampton’s. We love our DWR projects and we also pack in a lot of hard work but a lot of fun too!

This time around with this group of images we got to explore a lot more still life as well as large room settings and also a lot of new product for DWR including a brand new range of pillows and lot’s of great new rugs. We also got to explore some great classics in new fabrications such as a favorite, The Egg Chair by Arne Jacobsen.


Again this season the palette was somewhat neutral and we were conscious to embrace this by working with many of the natural wood tones in the product and pairing them with crisp black and whites and hits of accent colors. 

We also got to play around with some fun themes like the Architects office featured above.

We are really happy with above shots and hope you like them too. 

Thanks to my team at SMH, Inc, In particular Mykl, Quin and Sally. 

These photographs are taken by the legendary Jim Bastardo

It was such a pleasure to be able to work with the team at Design Within Reach again a few months ago. We shot in a number of locations including a loft in Soho/ Manhattan, A Brooklyn townhouse and a large mid century inspired home in Montauk. 

Shooting with the ever talented Jim Bastardo it was wonderful to embrace a clean palette often in some cases using very minimal color to achieve a monochromatic effect. 

These images are from the August Catalog out now, Look out for more in the September issue coming soon.
