I had the great opportunity to photograph DesignPhiladelphia’s kickoff night yesterday evening.  The first of over 150 events began at the Liao Collection, an Asian antique emporium…and I must say, I have never seen such a beautiful collection.  The night was filled with art, music, and history, and I am so thankful to have been a part of it. “Since 2005, DesignPhiladelphia has developed a nationally unique, open participation festival program that offers this region’s residents, as well as out-of-town visitors, a view into Philadelphia’s creative industries at work. Lectures, symposia, and round table discussions create opportunities for people to connect across design categories. Through open studios, we make networking among students and professionals possible. Street happenings, exhibitions, and public installations expand general awareness of the power design has in our everyday lives”

I had the great opportunity to photograph for Pupcakes Bits & Pieces.  This is Amelie, wearing a Pupcakes sweater and waiting patiently next to some of the shops best sellers: pupcakes, dog biscuits, and peanut butter bites! Be sure to check out the Pupcakes Etsy shop for other products. This photo will be running in a program for Design Philadelphia, so keep your eyes peeled Philadelphians!
