Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. For more, view all these ballerina posts or visit the Pointe of View store. There’s something about this photograph that just speaks to my heart: the muted tones of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline; Lexi’s dynamic movement captured in this beautiful line, made still…
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 absolutely love my new albums from RedTree. Below is a beautiful 8×8″ album in a lovely brown ‘pinecone’ leather. Having the names and date debossed on the front cover is always one of my favorite details. I’ve been busy creating these fine art books lately, and I’m excited to share more of these gems…
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…
Raquel & Andy specifically requested a non-leather album, so this beautiful book with its blue silk cover was the perfect choice for them. We even had it debossed with their names and wedding date. I just love full spreads in these albums. The gutter in the middle is barely noticeable and allows for an uninterrupted…
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…
I had the absolute privilege of visiting Ireland on a last minute whim in August. My friend Mitha organized the entire trip, and we started and ended in Dublin while going on a three-day rail tour in the middle. On day one we headed to the Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone, we went through…
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….
Ireland is an incredibly beautiful country spread across an area that’s only the size of Indiana. The cities are never too big, and the towns are very charming, but it’s the countryside that really stole my heart. It really is as green as promised. It was mid-August when my friend Mitha told me online that…
