This is Isabelle.
She is my amazing new studio manager (as well as next-door neighbor, violin-piano concerto partner, fellow cat-owner and new, dear friend!)
Isabelle started second-shooting for me in September of last year and has since become an invaluable part of managing my business. If you're having an album designed, Isabelle will be behind the scenes! She is full of ideas. More on Isabelle to come.
Here's 5 random things she said:
+ I have large teeth.
+ I often have to stop myself from singing in public places.
+ I'd like to visit every continent, yes Antarctica!
+ I went to Hong Kong while is was still under Brit rule.
+ Could probably eat spaghetti with tomato sauce every day?

Yum.
Our friends Gary and Yen from Real Food Catering were sweet enough to invite us to a tasty evening at the Prince George Ballroom last night. It featured all of the Ballroom's preferred catering companies -- here's a basic rundown of our thoughts + some iPhone snaps!
The Prince George Ballroom is a gorgeous space on E 27th st -- photos from Amanda + Isaac's wedding to follow in next post.
(You really couldn't go wrong with any of these vendors, but our personal favorites from the night were Real Food and Ark. Mmm.)
**Real Food Catering
Loved their smart, modern display! These plates really decorate a room. The chicken tarts were sitting on a bed of tapioca, and the tuna crackers are in a bed of Asian black beans. So pretty (and yummy).
+ Curried chicken in a flaky tart
+ Tuna and ginger on a sesame cracker
**Ark Catering
+ Tiramisu on spoon - most delicious dessert
+ Raspberry Creme Tart
+ Cucumber with veggie/tuna blend on top -- so light and refreshing!!
+ Delicious grilled veggies and cheeses. I loved the asparagus.
+ Wide selection of tasty (but still light!) treats
Food Matters - Tuscany Station on display
+ Locally sourced food
+ Smoked salmon with caviar and a cream cheese in a pastry shell (nommm nommm)
+ Lobster ravioli
Abigail Kirsch
+ Pomegranate-tequila cocktail infused with ginger
+ Mac 'n cheese over beef
+ Dessert Station with caramelized popcorn
Thomas Preti
We didn't actually try this one because we were too full by the time we got there. But it looked too good to ignore.
+ Inventive ideas, brought toasters to display their homemade poptarts
+ Homemade chicken pop tarts with hush puppies and banana pudding
+ Comprehensive plate setting so you could get the whole idea of the plate
Neuman's
+ Beef over potato gratin with a sprinkling of delicious brussel sprouts
+ Cool, rustic woodsy table settings with pretty moss centerpieces
On the Move: Classic Rock Trio
This fun, laid back trio played the whole evening. Super friendly and energetic.
+ Good time, instrumental group who played all the right classic hits
+ Perfect for your cocktail hour or a small restaurant reception

Only one degree of separation between me and Tim Gunn now... :) Erica stars tonight in the season finale. Here's what the Project Runway blog said about it:
"Tim's client for this special episode is Erica, a bride-to-be with a serious confidence problem. Her tall stature leaves her self-conscious with every outfit she tries on. Can Tim help her restore her faith in herself in time to step into the spotlight on her wedding day?"
