As you know, I like to do interviews with all kinds of people in our business and if someone new comes to town, I try to introduce them to the community to help them launch here in New York. I recently met this young lady’s mom at a show, we chatted, and she, of course being a proud mama, told me all about how she was here visiting here daughter. She told me she was a photographer and boy….is she a photographer (see samples of her work below). I am very proud to introduce you to “the new kid on the block”…Cloee Thomas.

Here are a few samples of her work; she even did a photo shoot in my house the other day (Stylist: Kinga @Kersplatski; Model: Brittany @asunnymama; Hair/Make Up: Lidemz @_leithestylist_And the lovely Cloee!)
