37 minutes of fame…
Below are a series of videos you may have missed between the assortment of blog posts. An interview on Bermuda TV, a segment on the recent exhibition Isolation Revealed, and Dolce Vita (a half hour special that aired on the Spanish channel Hola Vision). With 37 minutes of material we’ll be hitting the big screen in no time!
models and bottles oh my
just because the easter bunny has left palm beach doesn’t mean it’s not still the place to be seen, especially if you were at 251 Palm Beach last wednesday night to see us shoot LIVE. we had 5 beautiful models and a full crew on the dance floor from 8pm until midnight working our photo magic in front of a celebratory crowd. Helping us out on the wardrobe styling front was Gracia Maria with Sex2Sea. Cristiana Shields jeweled all of our girls up with her own hand made creations and amanda parisi was on spot for the girls hair. As always L Square (Leslie and Lauren) were the go to assistants allowing me to concentrate on making beautiful images. In case you missed it here are some behind the scenes pics of the best wed night in town.
an ode to my jeep
Sometimes as a studio manager, you gotta run around and pick-up in some interesting places. With 2 days before our huge studio show ” Right Here Right Now” & also having 14 models in that day for blinc cosmetics. My jeep is a great lil escape from the hustle and bustle…..UNTILL you get on I-95 and have a giant plastic planter come barreling at you!!! Ahh yes there are many times where my life flashes before me & I find myself on the side of the highway, waiting for roadside assistance or like in this instance, pulling plastic from underneath my suv! But this day we had a great team at the studio so I knew I could count on things running smoothly while I met with the sign maker, the home depot, the paint store, fedex, the post office, the t-shirt maven (Jerry), sally beauty supply for some back up mascara wands (for 28 eyeballs), lunch from Ambrosia for over 20 people & @ the end of a 12 hour day here was the end result:
Mish Poletti working her magic along with the crew from blinc cosmetics
Kristin Brown giving us some "eye"
steady camera skills!
Montana, Leslie, Sarah Lowe (Marketing Director from blinc cosmetics), Lauren and Kristin Brown...."good show people!"

Got Rox??
Well we think you should. No…really, go the website www.got-rox.com and order yourself (or someone else) a gorgeous hand crafted and one of a kind piece. The company is run by the designer Dana Koenig and we were more than willing to shoot some new lifestyle material for her (soon to be on the website). And who WOULDN’T want to start the day with two gorgeous models Abigail and Ana Maria from Elite Miami, hair stylist Amanda Parisi, make-up artist Kristin Brown, and wardrobe stylist David Fittin? Needless to say, the crew above made it an absolutely perfect shoot and we couldn’t have asked for a better rainy day!
Inside the House of Vintage
…is Michelle Parparian. Oh and an endless stock of vintage clothing, jewelry, and accessories. Just to name a few. So when we were contacted to provide product images for this adorable house (and it really is a house!) we didn’t hesitate to get our hands on pieces from the 1920’s. Interested yet? Visit her website at www.houseofvintageinc.com and take a look at some of our fav’s above.
Instant Gratification? Most Definitely!
If you haven’t heard about Gratify, the new American Gastro Pub in West Palm, then we’re here to help. We were quick to take Managing Partner Gene Playter and Executive Chef Scott Helm up on their offer to shoot interior and food images for them. Not only does it have a cozy “come hither” feel about it, the food is simply, well…gratifying. Check out the pics below and please try not to slobber all over your keyboard.
And the journey continues…
It’s April?! I know, I know…it’s been a while since we’ve had the pleasure of updating you on the happenings of Montana Pritchard Photography, but if you’re following us on facebook then you understand right? We’ve been shooting almost non-stop for the past month, from interior photos to close-ups of make-up by Blinc. I’ll be posting more posts right after this one, so feel free to read and look all about our endeavors and the wonderful people we’ve been working with.
Oh, and I’m Lauren, the (not-so-new) Director of Production here at the studio. I’ve been meaning to introduce myself. And when I say meaning…I really mean writing this blurb about 20 times and not having a chance to publish it. But you have been receiving my newsletters, invites, and reading some of my blog posts already. Aside from working for Montana, I’m learning the ropes to someday becoming a photographer myself. And what better way to learn than from the best? (I know, corny. But whatever.)
More to come!
