In early November I got a phone call from a good friend who works for Star Magazine.  She needed a photographer to shoot their Thanksgiving spread with “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Lisa Vanderpump.  I immediately said yes.  (Side note: I just wrote that like I was all cool about it and stuff but in reality I screamed YESYESYES into the phone before I even knew what the project was. It was the opposite of cool.)

Fast forward a week and I was shooting a Thanksgiving spread at Lisa’s restaurant Villa Blanca in Beverly Hills.  The meal came complete with turkey sliders, a bacon covered turkey, squash soup, and pumpkin crumble.  It took a lot of restraint not to eat it all the second it hit the table.  You can find these recipes and more on TheDivineAddiction.com!

Lisa and her husband Ken were super down to earth, funny, and really easy to work with.  Lisa is a natural in front of the camera, and very hands on when it came to presentation.  Villa Blanca lets in amazing natural lighting which led to clean, crisp pictures.  We even had a visit from a TMZ tour bus, where everyone was excited to see Ms. Vanderpump but even more excited to see adorable little Giggy, Lisa’s fashion forward Pomeranian.

Now that the magazine is off news stands I’m so happy that I am able to share the pictures with all of you!  So here are some of my favorites, along with the published spread.  I’m so thankful that I had this opportunity!  Thank you so much to Star Magazine, Lisa Vanderpump, Ken Todd, Giggy, Chef Francis Dimitrius, and everyone who had a hand in putting this spread together.  It was so much fun!
