About Caroline

Caroline specializes in the art direction and production of still and motion shoots for both editorial and commercial clients.

She cut her teeth from the ground up in New York City's publishing industry as an editorial Art Director, and held senior staff positions with some of the most celebrated editorial art departments in the country, such as Vogue, New York Magazine, and InStyle. Her work has been recognized by the Society of Publication Designers, American Society of Magazine Editors, Folio Magazine, Society of Illustrators, and D&AD.

Caroline recently left New York City with her husband and two young children and settled in the Southwest, from where she continues to collaborate with brands and agencies on the production, direction and styling of photo and video shoots around the world. She has also become a trusted local partner for productions shooting in Arizona.

Her editorial background informs her aesthetic as a creative producer — one that values a down-to-earth authenticity and a sense of place, while also elevated by her broad knowledge of fashion, luxury, and consumer brands.

Her independent structure allows for an uncommon agility: each shoot concept, location, casting and crew are fully customized to ensure the quality is high, the creative chemistry is just right, and the entire process is seamless from pre-production through the final file delivery, regardless of the budget.

2018 0601 Phoenician Spa - 0751 F.JPG

Our recent relaunch of the new Phoenician Spa was a huge success, thanks to our collaboration with Caroline. She came highly recommended by our longtime lifestyle photographer who urged me that this partnership would produce the imagery I envisioned, and the results were all that and more. Caroline’s attention to detail and contacts were essential to the success of our spa campaign.

We shot 10 days on 3 islands in Hawai’i, with 10 setups per day, 5 models and 3 different sets of hotel staff, all with a film crew and the client on set. And then 2 months later, repeat, this time in the UK. My experience with Caroline’s flawless production, endless work ethic, and her on-point aesthetic couldn’t get any better.

It’s rare to find an art director as skilled and talented as Caroline. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her for a decade, and in that time, she has been an integral part of our most challenging and successful projects. Caroline’s diverse experience allows her to fulfill a broad spectrum of creative needs, from coming up with concepts and unique visual approaches to executing complex photo shoots and magazine layouts. Her taste is flawless. Her professionalism is unfailing. And her dedication to quality work is unmatched.

I just wanted to thank you again for all your effort and extremely hard work on the shoot. It was such a great team, thank you for pulling everyone together and for the absolutely amazing casting. It was a complete pleasure working with you and I sincerely hope that we have the opportunity to do it again one day.
