Every Monday, I will be featuring an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. For more, view all these ballerina posts or visit the Pointe of View store. Today’s image is from my alma mater, Duke University. In the quietest reading room of the library, she just walked in and did the splits across the table. Gothic Reading…
I am so happy to share these images from a family portrait session I did while I was in Chicago. Baby Sidney is such a cutie, and he is just at that stage where he will smile at everything and still looks like a tiny old man. After some morning shots at Lauren and Oren’s…
Every Monday, I will be featuring an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. For more, view all these ballerina posts or visit the Pointe of View store. I just knew it would all be fine. I had every reason to doubt, but I wasn’t worried. I had been emailing with Suzanne for days, planning this ballerina…
Their story starts with high school prom, but after that, Sun and Elliot went their separate ways and didn’t see or speak to each other for years. They had another chance encounter when they both attended a wedding, but it was still not their time. It wasn’t until a few more years later, when Sun…
Pointe of View is a personal project I started at the end of 2011. I had just finished my wedding season, and as much as I love weddings (and I really do), I really wanted to step into something else. Something different. Something creatively challenging. I had done ballet briefly as a child, just long…
This post is very much overdue! Back in March, I attended Caroline Tran’s very first Propel photography workshop in Pasadena, California. I have long admired Caroline’s sweet, elegant style and had been her blogstalker for quite some time, so I jumped at the chance to connect with her face to face and learn from her….
I was very honored when my friend Shang asked me to do a photo session for her and her boyfriend. I was also incredibly nervous, because Shang is an amazing photographer herself and has been generously dispensing business and photography advice to me since the very beginning! How do you photograph the photographer? Well, we had…
Gemma and Kevin have been so fun to work with. Their warmth and sincerity are just so lovely to be around. They chose the Tiburon trail for their engagement photos– a place they used to frequent together– and it was the perfect setting. Romance surrounded by nature. Such sweetness.
The background: This is a post for my fellow photographers. Both Smugmug and Zenfolio are online gallery sites that allow you to host client galleries and sell prints, among other things. I am not paid by or affiliated with either of these companies, though I will get a credit if you do sign up for Zenfolio with my…
I am so excited to have been published by Wedding Nouveau magazine for the second time! I love Wedding Nouveau and its focus on multicultural weddings, and they are a joy to work with. Evy and Joe are stunning across all three full spreads in The Anniversary Issue. Sneak a peek of their multicultural Mexican-Indian wedding…
I am completely in love with these new wedding albums I’ve just added to my product offerings! The leather and the silk covers are absolutely luxurious, and I am especially smitten with the debossing on the cover. It’s the perfect way to personalize your album with a completely custom imprint. Jenny and Kevin were the…
They laugh about it now, how funny it is that they met at a terrible bar in San Francisco and they simply could not have imagined that life would bring them together like this in the end. But it has, and beautifully. He fell for her brains and beauty as she fell for his kind…
