Cookie Kidsfest NYC 2008 - Video!

Kidsfest NYC 2008 hosted by Cookie Magazine

On Sunday, I photographed Kidsfest NYC 2008 - hosted by Cookie Magazine. The amazing event was an afternoon of art, culture and giving, hosted by Kim Raver (Lipstick Jungle) and Mary Alice Stephenson host of VH1's new series America's Most Smartest Model. Brooke Shields from Lipstick Jungle also was there with her girls enjoying the activities and music from David Weinstone and the Music for Aardvarks Band. Kids were exposed to hands-on creative expression with NYC's top artists including graffiti silkscreen artist, Andre Charles. Top fashion photographer (America's Next Top Model) Nigel Barker was taking family portraits with Patrick McMullen. The event was held at the Urban Zen Center at the Stephan Weiss Studio.
