One of the greatest things about being a photographer in NYC is working with some of the world’s best high profile companies…which naturally attract the best employees. We have had a long, beautiful, sparkling relationship with Chopard this year where I met Prerna Balani, the Senior Public Relations Manager.

How do you describe Prerna? Well, she’s always in a heel, she always keeps it classic, loving black, white, and navy, and she wore THESE amazing earrings I couldn’t take my eyes off of to the Oscar party. She is one of the most beautiful and intelligent women I know and our friendship pops up in places like LA, Cannes, and on this day – New York’s Meat Packing district.

I have always said, I am more comfortable in a room full of kings than being king of the room. When I work with amazing companies like Chopard they put you in a room full of those people, with Prerna being the social commander of them all. It’s no wonder VOGUE India just labeled her one of the most stylish women in the world.

Congratulations my friend, what a gift to photograph you for the world to see –

Above cover image, these are a few of my favorite things: Apothecary Matchstick Bottle (found here originally), handmade pottery vase I have dubbed my Van Gogh vase from HERE, Himalayan Salt Candle holder we bought from a flea market on the UWS and glows so beautifully, Moroccan Oil candle which reminds me of my time HERE, Woven glass square bowl, Catch all three stripes porcelain bowl– a housewarming gift from these two, my men’s Giorgio Armani glasses because they remind me of him….
