These heirloom wedding albums are absolute treasures. I love the luxurious leathers, the thick, sturdy pages, and I absolutely love the attention to detail and custom design, with everything from the layout to the debossed names on the cover personalized to each couple. Below are some images from Michelle & David’s album.
When I look at this image, I love the colors of autumn, the beautiful dancer, and the fact that I once took my high school prom photos right next to this gazebo. But the thing I love most is the light. I have always tended toward being a natural light photographer, scouting for light and…
Happy Anniversary, Jenny & Kevin! Today is the actual date that marks two years from their wedding. I love that we have an annual tradition of doing a photoshoot together. It’s been so much fun celebrating their relationship over the years and flexing our creativity muscles so that no two shoots are ever the same….
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…
