Hey Jenn, is it just me or are we in the midst of a French invasion?
Oui oui! An uber-fabulous shot by Chris Plavidal within the pages of F/D Luxe.

Hello friends,
2010 has been good to us. I mean, tricky and a touch unpredictable at times, but mostly ... great. That said, I think we are collectively excited to bid adieu to 2010 and welcome in the new year. Hello 2011, you look ravishing tonight!
For this reason and others of the top secret sort, we got together this week to try the new year on for size.
Man, I love these folks!
All images by Allison V. Smith (which explains why she's not in any of them...)
Brother Chris has loads of gems on his blog right now. Check it out. It's called Adventures in Magnetism. Oh, the many sides of Mr. Plav.
He was lucky enough to be in a helicopter over downtown for the demolition at First Baptist Academy/Church building recently. (Personal note: my primary school is now DUST!) It's incredible to me how remarkably peaceful these images are. One of the many reasons I love this artform. Silence.
From the sky, the world is pretty gorgeous - even demolition. It's not so bad from the ground either, as evidenced in this next shot by Brother Chris.
So, this is a natural foray into the sentiments those of you who know me know that I simply cannot resist. Cue the sappy music. Apologies, I'll make it quick.
Thank you. Thank you to photography for making me fall completely and unendingly in love with you. Thank you to the photo industry for taking care of my family and me. Thank you to the people of this industry for being supportive and exciting and nurturing, in your own special way. Thank you, mostly though, today, to all of my darling sisters and brothers for allowing me into your lives and your art. I'm honored and blessed.
Happy Day After Thanksgiving Everyone.

Last week, I mentioned Brother Richard's cover for F!D Luxe. Sisterbrother bookended this issue! Brother Chris closed it with a close shot of a piece by new design darling Meredith Miller Collection.
That's right, y'all.... we're everywhere. :)
The Neiman Marcus Beauty Book is a gorgeous gift guide for holiday... Fellas take note! Brother Chris and Sister Brittany supported by a fantastic crew and directed by a favorite client make a little magic yet again.
Brother Chris made me smile with this lovely thing all bright and shiny in my inbox over the weekend. Mr. Plavidal worked with these darling Jimmy Choo's among others for Neiman Marcus just a few weeks ago.
Neiman Marcus is keeping Brother Chris on his toes with a recent shoe shoot. Online now at NeimanMarcusDotCom.
