Greg Plitt –

Greg Plitt Shoot.

Since the first time I worked with Greg a few years back, he has continued to amaze me with his grounded, sweet, intelligent nature. I’m sure most people stop at the eyes and abs… but there is so much more! Greg has become a great friend. I can’t say enough about his professionalism, amazing attitude, and how much fun he is on shoots. He is hands down my favorite male model/actor to photograph. It’s about the 4th shoot we’ve done together and each shoot is more fun that the previous one. Check out Greg’s site :http://www.gregplitt.com/

Greg, being the joker he is… pulled one over on me and pretended to pee in the corner of the St. Regis Hotel… here is just a hint of what i have to put up with on the job!

I really enjoy shooting food. The critical elements of fine art, technical aspects of photography, and timing all come in to play.

A time for some rest and reflection. I dreaded lugging my camera around on all day hikes… but well worth it in the end.

moments…

Tracie — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 05:45:07 +0000

Capturing those special and unobtrusive magical seconds that can easily sneak right by… precious moments of my daughters…. I don’t take enough pictures of my own kids… I’m so glad i decided to take along my camera on this day.

this one tugs at my heart strings – without these visuals I may have forgotten the intense silly faces she made while playing with these toys from a kids meal from Burger King!

Lisa Vanderpump – for Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine

Tracie — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 07:26:26 +0000

Another beautiful image of Lisa. This one is my very favorite out of the entire shoot. I think it reveals a very calming, soft, and classy side of Lisa. To see more about Lisa and learn more details about the ’Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ go to: Lisa Vanderpump

Lisa Vanderpump

Tracie — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 05:10:26 +0000

the fun started before I ever made it to Lisa’s home… i was so impressed with her neighbors garbage cans (there were 17 in a row) (ahh… the neighbor was Sylvester Stallone) that i decided to take a photo with my iphone through the back of my car… and some how as i was backing up i hit the first garbage can and i created a domino effect with trash…hmmmm! Lisa was fun… i loved her little puppy ‘Pinky’. i think Pinky lives a better life than 99% of the human population on the planet. Lucky PInky… Lisa’s home was stunning. The grounds were magical. It was hard to leave. The images will appear in Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine for her editorial page as well as her website Lisa Vanderpump. You can see more of Lisa in the brand new Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Here is little ‘Pinky’… the lucky dog!

Intercontenential Hotel – Los Angeles

Tracie — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 05:35:45 +0000

cool shoot – it was a pleasure to photograph Stephan (GM) and Cedrick from the ICH. I’m deathly afraid of heights (ever since I thought i was going to get ‘blown’ off the edge of the grande canyon when i was 8 from a strong gust of wind) so shooting on the heli pad truly made me sick to my stomach and a little shaky. so; why does the grande canyon not have any railing anyway???? I wonder how many people are screwed up like me from one of those ‘percieved near death’ experiences…

oc family cover shoot – mom blogger

Tracie — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 05:19:40 +0000

shooting suzanne broughton for oc family feburary’s issue. suzanne is such an active blogger we stopped the shoot for her blogging about 6 times! I suck at blogging… so it was nice to see how a pro does it. do you think i’ll learn anything from it. no! i’m a blogger looser and always will be. no time or lack or organization to make it happen?

Heavenly Hostess – Orange Coast Magazine – September

Tracie — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 04:42:44 +0000

I loved this store – they had so many amazingly funny gifts. It’s the perfect store for birthday gifts for people who have everything. They also have lots of great kitchen items, books, and did I mention the aprons? Even though I don’t cook much I had to get one. The owner, below, was a doll. Check them out: http://www.heavenlyhostess.com/

Ok, this is just one example of the hilarious items they offer:
