Back in June of last year, a group of twelve of us had an incredible experience dining at The French Laundry in Napa Valley. Immediately afterwards, we started plotting our next group dining experience and set our sights on Alinea in Chicago. I really liked the idea of dining with a group, but after my inquiry returned a quote of $36,500…
We walked into the former macaroni factory-turned-artists’ lofts, a character-filled space perfectly befitting Jessica and Alex. After we ascended six flights of stairs, we were treated to the most spectacular gem, with all of downtown Chicago ready to serve as the backdrop to the wedding ceremony. It turns out those 80% chance thunderstorm forecasts were all bluster….
What a beautiful Labor Day weekend in Chicago! I was in Chicago for a wedding on Saturday, but of course, we packed in lots of other adventures while we were there, and it was all capped off with this engagement session for my friends Ninna and Eric. We explored some nature-filled areas of Lincoln Park before…
Since the beginning of 2014, I have been working on my year-long personal project, Art for Art. Once a month, I find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I photograph them; they photograph me. View the full set of previous shoots in the series here: Art for Art. August’s shoot was with my intern Jasmine…

There are a lot of things that float through your head on move-in day your freshman year in college. What are you going to major in? Who will your friends be? Is your roommate crazy? It might not occur to you to think, “Will I meet the love of my life today?” But of course that’s exactly what…
I absolutely love Mairin and Nikhil’s final products from their two-day Indian wedding celebration. We created a wonderfully large 80-page book to include as many photos as possible while still keeping a beautiful, clean layout. And in addition to their large 12×12″ album, they also created two 6×6″ mini books to share with each of their parents….
I absolutely love this idea: professional portraits on vacation. Amanda and Todd have been married for a couple years and live in a small community in Manitoba, the centermost province of Canada. They run a family grain & bean farm,which always makes their vacations well-earned and much appreciated. They are always plotting their travels, so when Amanda and Todd…
This photography session would be a celebration. A celebration and documentation of her body at this point in her life: a couple years into marriage, before kids, working hard, and looking great. Every woman should feel so empowered to celebrate herself, wherever she is in life. We kept things soft, airy, and romantic with a touch…
Welcome to my latest personal project, a series of “mood shoots.” For these shoots, I wanted to explore a certain look and feel in my portraiture, working with light and shadow, styling, and directing. As with all my personal projects, I just sort of dream up these ideas and form a vision in my mind, and then…
Ashley and Chad first met while attending the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, and they became fast friends before they started dating about three years ago. It was only fitting that we return to St. Helena and meet at the wonderful restaurant/tasting room of Farmstead and Long Meadow Ranch for their engagement portraits. Here are…
