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…
It turns out that one of the best dining experiences in all of New York lies not in the city but 45 minutes north at a little farm in the Pocantico Hills. On a Sunday afternoon, we left Manhattan to spend a day at Blue Hill at Stone Barns where they take farm-to-table to its…
It was so wonderful to spend some time with Alexis and Frank in a city that has been so meaningful to their relationship. These two met in their office– a unique, floating office– as they are both Navy officers and worked together on their first ship out of San Diego. Friendship led to dating, and…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. We started the day at 4am with hair and makeup and then took a cab at 6am to the famous Tidal Basin of D.C., encircled with its monuments and the beautiful Japanese cherry blossoms that grace the area with their fleeting pink puffs…
I had the pleasure of meeting Yijin in Washington, D.C. when I traveled there for my ballerina shoots. It was an incredibly hot day for springtime in D.C., but the blossom-lined streets made for a beautiful backdrop in the historic streets of Georgetown.
What is there to say about New York City that hasn’t already been said? Perhaps the more you come to New York or the longer you live here, the more the city envelops you. Those who are less optimistic might say it swallows you whole. I usually set my own pace on trips, no matter…
It can be the most beautiful thing and the most difficult thing for us to embrace ourselves as we are. You might never know it looking at this gorgeous young woman, but she recently went through significant changes in her body after being told she was at an unhealthily low weight. Her sister gifted her…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. Ivy is the only ballerina that I actually knew prior to photographing her for the Pointe of View project, so I was thrilled to be able to meet up with her for this beautiful shoot. We headed to a neighborhood in Bethesda, Maryland…
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll probably recognize this couple! It’s Jenny and Kevin (my Seaglass Cinema business partner). We started an annual tradition of doing a photo shoot to celebrate their marriage over the years. Not only do we do anniversary shoots, we also make a beautiful heirloom album every time….
