I can tell you all about how generous and kind Elliot is. I live with him, though we both travel frequently and he works so much that we joke about taking turns living at our place. I can also tell you about how sincere and engaging Sun is, despite having met her only twice. It’s…
Yesterday: One stop after the airport, a family boarded the BART train. One mother with three girls, the youngest of whom sat grinning in her stroller. “Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco. Uno dos tres, cuatro, cinco!” The mother counted the little girl’s fingers and toes, much to her delight. The two older girls looked out…
It’s incredibly inspiring to meet and work with people who are passionate and extremely good at what they do. I’ve spent this past week in Los Angeles shooting an engagement session and also helping Jason Lee of Turtlist Media with his film project– a short narrative film titled “Doughboy.” Here are some glimpses behind the…
I meant to feature this a long time ago but kept saving it for another day. As some of you may know, in my “other” life, I am creative director and managing editor of TaiwaneseAmerican.org, which supports the Taiwanese American community. Back in August, we did some shoots for TaiwaneseAmerican.org‘s t-shirt line. We had our friends volunteer…
We wove through the scenic drive, driving past the red rocks and stopping at the base of the trails. We didn’t see the albino sheep I was promised (and aren’t they already white?), but we did get to see an awesome icy waterfall that started as just a small stream atop the mountain and spilled…
Thank you so much to everyone for the birthday wishes. I apologize if my phone was off and I was unresponsive to Facebook posts, as was out in the desert for much of the day. A group of at least twenty of us took a brief trip out of Las Vegas to visit Red Rock…
There are neon lights and sparkling lights and reflections of lights that crowd the strip. This must be America’s playground. Architects get to come and build things that aren’t reasonable or practical by any means, and it all fits right in. Here is a glimpse of where I am for the weekend. An amazing almost-penthouse…
I have always been a more expressive writer than speaker. Writing often allows me to process my thoughts in a deeper, more personal way. So alongside my photography, I have come to embrace writing as an extension of my self expression. My personal posts on this blog have been a mixture of passion projects, travelogues,…
I have been able to work with some of the most amazing couples this year. I’ve always loved photographing people in love, because it’s not as much about capturing my interaction with them as it is about getting them to interact genuinely with each other, and being able to capture that interchange. For all of…
Have you met the Diana F+ and entered the giveaway? Now it’s time to see the camera in action. When you’ve become accustomed to technically perfect dSLRs, it’s both difficult and exciting to shoot film and not know what you’re going to get. So here they are– some frames and a glimpse behind the scenes…
A couple months back, I met Sandy, a superstar blogger and etsy shop owner, through several mutual friends, and she even helped out as our assistant/second shooter at Jenny and Kevin’s Aliso Viejo wedding. I’ve been looped into Sandy’s blog world since, both as a sponsor and as a loyal follower. So when she and…
We’re beginning to make a habit of this. I fly to New York, Talya hops into town from Philadelphia, and we do a shoot. By now, Talya is a pro at modeling. She somehow makes this freezing cold winter day look like an effortless, fun, sexy shoot. There is a whole different set of photos…
