Dear Genevieve-
I’ve fallen out of love with my home. It doesn’t look anywhere near as beautiful as this gorgeous brownstone of yours, styled by the graceful Molly Fitzsimons for HGTV Magazine. What can I possibly do to rekindle the romance? Should I call Deborah Jaffe to photograph? Do you think you could lend me a couple million bucks to first buy a whole brownstone, then completely renovate it? Then is Molly available to spruce it up a bit? Please make the check payable to Big Leo Productions.
Thank you!
-the Big Leo team

Kid-friendly photographer Nicole Hill Gerulat spent a hectic couple of days shooting 19 toddlers with mountaineering stylist Ed Gallagher, for the new Aquatopia line. The production on a shoot like that is always so much work – finding the right team as well as great kids, it always takes more time than the shoot itself! Big Leo’s own Karen Tighe wrangled the whole group of artists and children (same skillset – also includes cats) to bring the whole project together. So many shots that day, and it turned out super sharp! Check out more over at Nicole’s blog – and for all your full service production needs, Big Leo is ready to rock!

{and an “M” and an “E”}! Photographer Hector Sanchez shot the deliciously dessert-like QREAM {with Q} liqueur this past spring and until it launched a couple of months later, mum was the word. Now that music producer and entrepreneur Pharrell’s strawberry and peach flavored beverages have officially taken the market by storm, the word is YUM.
Scrumptiously food styled by Mariana Velasquez and elegantly propped by Ed Gallagher, this veteran Big Leo trio created a look and feel of decadence in keeping with Pharrell’s desire to celebrate the independent and sophisticated modern day woman.
You don’t have to go further than Qream’s online recipe diary to unlock the potential of this delicately creamy drink. Enjoy finding out which flavor is your favorite!!
A major shout out goes to Yvette Ho, owner of Manhattan’s Panade, who developed the delicious dessert recipes and to creative director Mimi Valdes for a shoot full of unprecedented fun!

We can think of no better way to launch our weekend than to give major props {pun intended} to Sarah Cave for the incredible talents she exemplified in her latest creation for the August 2011 issue of Better Homes and Gardens featuring our First Lady, Michelle Obama.
Now, Sarah has always brought her amazing set of eyes to the {prop} table, but not enough people know about her insane design skills. I mean crazy. MAD even. Below, you can see her inspiration board for the invitation that she created for Michelle Obama’s “Lunch on the Lawn” event, inspired by the White House vegetable garden, as well as the beautiful veggie illustrations used to label bottles of fresh squeezed juices and to decorate crisp white linen napkins. Personally, I am waiting for my series of tote bags donning Sarah Cave designs, but…one thing at a time. For now, I pledge allegiance to Sarah Cave…

Bicerin is a traditional hot drink native to Turin, Italy, made of espresso, drinking chocolate and whole milk served layered in a small rounded glass. The word bicerin is Piedmontese for “small glass”. Check out the Caff e` Al Bicerin version featured in AFAR Magazine, shot by our very own Andrea Wyner.
The beverage has been known since the 18th-century and was famously praised by The Three Musketeers author Alexandre Dumas in 1852. Any connection to the famous American chocolate bar born in 1932? Hmm, that’s stretching it.

Melissa Punch shot the recent cover story for ShopSmart on ’10 Food Shockers.’ Most of the things on the list are just part and parcel of industrial food production, something that must be accepted if you are going to continue buying cheap food at the supermarket. Not that it is a good thing, just a reality of the system that provides every kind of out-of-season food to all corners of the country. I think the biggest shocker of all is that you do have a choice in the matter; the easiest way to make that choice is to stay informed. Just try not to get distracted by the pretty pictures.
