I'm writing today from the beautiful village of Wickford, located on Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. Photo shoots are so much fun! I've been sharing pictures from our Fall/Winter 2013 photo shoot all week, but I thought I'd talk a little more about the cool locations we've visited. deCordova Sculpture Park & Museum - Lincoln, MA… Continue reading On Location: Fall/Winter 2013 Photo Shoot

Norah’s Knit’s: Getting Ready for Photography
Our five days of photography starts today! Last week I steamed a lot of garments and I've gotten to know all 90 something of them inside and out. Of course, I was already pretty familiar with the ones I designed, after making up new cable patterns writing instructions for my knitters. Still, there were a… Continue reading Norah’s Knit’s: Getting Ready for Photography
Norah’s Knits: A Walk in the Woods for Inspiration
I spent most of last weekend knitting, knitting and knitting until I couldn't knit any more. I was compelled to knit just one more piece for my next volume (that's Norah Gaughan vol 13). Next week is the big photo shoot, and all of my knitters were busy with other items for our Fall/Winter booklets.… Continue reading Norah’s Knits: A Walk in the Woods for Inspiration

Behind the Scenes: Spring 2013 Photo Shoot
If changing leaves and a crisp autumn breeze don’t make you think spring, chances are you’ve never been a part of a Berroco photo shoot. It may have been a bit cool for the girls modeling colorful beach knits, but we definitely got some great shots for the new booklets. Before I tell you anymore… Continue reading Behind the Scenes: Spring 2013 Photo Shoot
Woodstock: Behind the Scenes
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a photo shoot? At the shoot for our Fall 2012 pattern collection, we worked hard to get beautiful photographs... But still found time to be a little goofy.
Postcard from Woodstock
Norah and I are back in the office after our photography session in Woodstock, New York, near Norah’s hometown. It was a crazy week - we had more than 70 fall/winter sweaters and accessories to photograph, and record high temperatures almost every day. Our models managed to look snug and cozy when wrapped up in… Continue reading Postcard from Woodstock

Our styling rack is loaded with clothes, ready to be packed up. We’ve got lots of buttons to sew to the finished sweaters... And we’re… Continue reading Fall Photography Prep
The Making of a Kid’s Book – Part 2
Picking up where I left off (see Part 1 for a refresher), let’s look at a few more photos while I share some more stories from the photo shoot for Booklet #320 Big Kids/Little Kids. Of the eight kids who modeled for us, there were two sets of siblings. Can you guess which ones are… Continue reading The Making of a Kid’s Book – Part 2
