Getting into the Holiday Spirit
These cheery Baskin-Robbins holiday ads, featuring Michael’s photography, put smiles on all of our faces with their debut this month. We are filled with holiday spirit here at the studio and hope all of you are having a festive December, as well. ‘Tis the season!
How could you not smile seeing these cute faces light up your table this holiday?

Consider giving the gift of ice cream this year!

Gobble Gobble
With this year’s Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner, we wanted to share a special treat that was brought to our studio by our wonderfully creative client, Baskin-Robbins. We thought we’d pose the question: what do you get when you cross a seasonal bird and a cake made of ice cream?
Why, a Baskin-Robbins Thanksgiving Turkey Ice Cream Cake, of course!
Not your ordinary cake, you might be thinking, but this ice cream cake is sure to be the hit of many Thanksgiving dessert tables come this Thursday. We had a rare opportunity to photograph this one-of-a-kind cake for Baskin-Robbins’ holiday promotion. This bird’s looks caused us to get a little silly in the studio… and we weren’t the only ones who got a kick out of it.
Digital Tech, Jen, pretends to “bake” the turkey cake. Thank goodness no one turned the oven on for this one, or else we would have had a melting bird on our hands!
–
Jen, a.k.a. Martha Stewart, fixes pancakes from scratch for our clients while the shots are displayed on the big screen in our client area.

And for the more sensible portion-seeker this holiday season, there’s always the single drumstick. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

Beautiful New Props!
We are proud to share with everyone the latest edition to the studio (besides Natalia of course): our new prop room!
We’ve been actively building out our props collection over the past year and a half, so this summer we thought it was about time to showcase all of our great finds.
Our clients now have easy access and visibility to our large array of props and dish ware. If a client needs something last minute, there’s a good chance you can find it here.
Our prop room is full of in-house dishes, silver ware, fabric, napkins, and various other props.
–
All the fabric and napkins are neatly organized and color coded, the OCD Photographer’s dream come true!
–
We have a diverse variety of bowls, making it very easy to find the perfect one.
–

Need a plate? We’ve got you covered.

Pinky’s favorite section 😉
We also have a great selection of wood surfaces (not pictured here), including some new ones we picked up at Brimfield this year. If you have any questions about what we have in stock, please give us a call and we’d be happy to send over some images of our extended collection.

Alien Invasion! The Men in Black are Back
Here come… the Men in Black. (again)
While we may secretly wish that we could announce we shot Will Smith’s promo portraits for the upcoming Men in Black III premiere here at the studio, we are proud to say that we did play a fun role in the promotion of the new film, which premieres nationwide this Memorial Day weekend.
We had the unique opportunity to help kick off ice cream season with some of Baskin-Robbins’ new flavor tie-ins to MIB III, which is predicted to be a summer blockbuster. Enjoy some of our behind-the-scenes shots below, and indulge yourself in a scoop (or two or three) at your nearest Baskin-Robbins store this weekend. What better way to kick off summer than with some Lunar Cheesecake or Pink Surprise Cake ice cream, a Spacey Sundae, or the new Triple Mocha Cappuccino Blast?
Aliens invaded the studio for one day only — though we had to do some hand grooming before taking them on set.
–
Prop designer, Shannon Shea (“The Captain”) flew in from Los Angeles to “handle” our alien hand. He paid close attention to every intricate detail on the hand, which was actually used in MIB III.
–
Cradled by alien hands, Lunar Cheesecake ice cream makes its debut on set. Videographer, Justin, captures some behind-the-scenes footage in the background.

We think the final ad turned out great!
Have an extra 30 seconds? Check out our video to get an even closer look behind-the-scenes:
Fun with Fruit
Once we saw the concepts for this shoot we were really excited. It was an action packed day as food stylist Mary, had to fly in for this one day shoot. We had four different flavored smoothies to shoot, along with hero shots of each fruit. The final ads came out awesome – see them below and also take a look at the behind-the-scenes photos!
________________________________________________________________________________________
Our attention to detail is so important to us, we break out the Pantone book to match the color of the smoothie.
The Few. The Proud. The Hero Fruit!
Is Michael using magic to suspend the strawberry in mid-air?

It’s always Sunny in Boston
Now that the weather has turned cold, we thought it would be nice to share a warm ice cream shoot we just shot. Food stylist Sunny Ricks helped us with some fantastic work making the ice cream look great. Now that we are past the darkest day of the year, lets hope for a short winter so we can eat cold ice cream again!
The finished results
