Angie & Randy | Chicago Engagement Photography
It’s such a joy to get to photograph friends all over the country. While I was in Chicago two weeks ago, I met up with Angie and Randy for their engagement session downtown. We explored the beautiful mosaic-covered Chicago Cultural Center and wandered over to Millenium Park where Randy had proposed. See some of my favorites…

Bondi Beach & Sydney, Australia
We continue the series with more explorations around Sydney, including a quick visit to the coastal shores of Bondi Beach. We start off again in Surry Hills, the neighborhood where we stayed for our three-night visit. Our airbnb was cute, but the windows did not have screens and I got eaten alive by a mosquito and…

Sydney, Australia
After a whole lot of anticipation, we finally made our way to Sydney, Australia. There was quite a bit of hype for the city, considering our friend did fall in love with it, quit his job, and move across the world to live there. And then he met a girl, fell in love with her, and…

Portrait Party | June, 2016
I’m thrilled to share the second in my series of Portrait Parties. The idea is very simple: I gather a small group of people, we throw ourselves a little party, and I take portraits of everyone. Each participant contributes to the party too, and we all get to connect with each other without the pressures of…

Hamilton Island, Australia

For Ashley and Chad, we created one medium (10″) album; one small (8″) album; and two mini (6″) albums. The…

Hobbiton | North Island, New Zealand
Hobbiton! On our last day in New Zealand, we made the three hour drive from Auckland down to Hobbiton, the famed set of The Lord of the Rings. We went for the full Hobbiton feast, with tours before and after sunset. The set is actually on a sheep farm. When the location scouts initially inquired,…

Auckland & Waitomo | North Island, New Zealand
We continue my journey through New Zealand as Jon, Pei, and I flew from Queenstown in South Island back up to Auckland in North Island and were joined by Young, Jessica, Karen, and Sam. It was a drastic change of scenery; despite being surrounded by plenty of nature, Auckland itself is very much a city. Breakfast at…

Wanaka, Hooker Valley Track, & Christchurch | South Island, New Zealand
This is the second part of many in my journey through New Zealand and Australia. We pick up on Day 3 of our time in South Island, and the beautiful scenery continues. After lunch in Queenstown, we drove up to Wanaka (rhymes with Hannukah), where we would stay that night. We opted for a short…
