Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. I am so excited to introduce you all to this gem of a printer right here in Oakland, California: Candela Fine Art Printing. I have worked with many different labs to transform my digital photographs into tangible prints, and I am so excited…
Periodically, I introduce one of my favorite vendors in the industry– completely unpaid, just out of sheer love of working with them. This month, I am excited to feature Jill Rizzo and Alethea Harampolis of the wonderful floral team, Studio Choo. I first fell in love with their work before even knowing it was theirs,…
Theirs is a love story that spans several seas. They first met while traveling through South Africa and Namibia, Katja visited Anders in Norway, he moved to the Netherlands to be closer to her in Germany, and they then lived together in Norway before moving on to their new home in Vancouver, Canada. And true…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. It’s been an incredible weekend packed with friends, food, and festivities. We kicked it off on Friday with two of our friends getting engaged in an elaborate surprise proposal plan, dinner and drinks with twenty friends from all over the US, fried chicken…
Amy and David might not have known it then, but the day they both attended their mutual friend’s birthday party was the day their lives would become forever intertwined. And not only would Amy and David fall in love and decide to get married, their friend Danny would come along as their officiant. It was…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. Just a couple days ago, I was on a mini vacation in Las Vegas. I have so many travels booked this year, but these couple months are truly packed with travel and weddings. It’s busy and wonderful. Below, one of my favorites from…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. This morning, I am back in Chicago, Illinois, about to film a wedding with Seaglass Cinema. This is the perfect time to share a beautiful image from last fall when I was here photographing Joffrey School trainee Nardia Boodoo. I just love the…
Bridgette and Ryan first met in Michigan, where they worked together at a communications company. Their first date was at a friend’s show at a music hall in Detroit, and they have been together ever since. After several years living in Michigan, they decided to move to California, and San Francisco was the lucky city…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. In celebration of Taiwanese American Heritage Week, I wanted to share just one of my favorite images from our ballerina shoot in Taipei, Taiwan. When I visited Taiwan back in February, I had the opportunity to meet these two young ladies who are…
It was so wonderful to photograph Cami and Eric’s wedding in Seattle last summer, and it is so exciting to see their wedding come to life in their heirloom wedding album. I think Cami and Eric did a great job selecting this beautiful mosstone leather for their cover. It’s a beautiful neutral that fits perfectly…
What an honor it is to photograph the Gardner family year after year after year. This is the fourth time I’ve had the privilege, and the first time (officially) that I got to photograph them at their home in Ojai. What made this portrait session extra special was that it was a gift from Aaron’s father….
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. On Friday, I had the privilege of attending opening night of the San Francisco Ballet’s Cinderella– a birthday gift from my friend Dan. It was a brand new production by Christopher Wheeldon, based on the Brothers Grimm version of the tale– a far darker version…
