Yesterday I was on a fashion shoot in LA for Theresa Kathryn Bags. The owner of this fabulous new bag company is Tammy Trenta, an amazing business woman and all around cool person. Tammy is currently among the top five contenders left on NBC's prime time show The Apprentice. If she can succeed with The Donald, you can bet that her new company is going places! In fact, Instyle just called and wants to feature her bags in an upcoming issue! What's even more awesome is that she hasn't even launched the product line yet and she already has a waiting list 600 deep with ladies wanting to purchase her stylish new bags. I don't blame them, the bags are totally cool. They hold a laptop, pda, cell phone, and everything else a lady needs for a long day's work! They even attach to a carry-on bag for travel.

I met Tammy a couple years ago at a wedding and we've kept in touch ever since. She named the company after her grandmother who she deeply respects. Her grandmother (Theresa Kathryn) was quite an amazing woman who founded her own successful business and still managed to put food on the table every night for her family. Tammy says that her grandmother had a ton of style and was a great role model. Thanks for the fun shoot yesterday Tammy! And thanks to Shyla for assisting me! You are awesome! Oh yeah, and you might be seeing a bit more of Ariel (the model shown) because I'm going to talk her into modeling for my upcoming workshop.

Hey man, you deserve at least ONE comment on this post! :) These shots are awesome (and not just for the sake of commenting). I like the darkened empty space!

Mike,

Some great shots. I really like the first shot. There seems to be something more "real" about her manuerisms than in most modeling shots. Plus I love all the gawkers on the street.

Great shot.
