RUNS ON COFFEE
We had a full spread catered by Whole Foods, but it remained untouched. Jennifer was too nervous to eat! She did, however, sip coffee and swap NYC restaurant suggestions with our photographer between shots.
TEAMWORK
The whole team had a blast working with Jennifer.

GO, SPEED RACER!
Posing while running is harder than it looks. Despite Jennifer’s anxiety about hitting her mark, she nailed shot after shot. She was pleasantly surprised, checking the monitor and exclaiming, “Oh, my gosh! I love that one! No, I love that one more than the last!”
BLOWN AWAY
To create a breezy effect for Jennifer’s hair, stylist Harry Josh played the part of director’s assistant. In the windless studio, he stood outside the frame holding up his blow dryer on full blast.
