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…
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. I just knew it would all be fine. I had every reason to doubt, but I wasn’t worried. I had been emailing with Suzanne for days, planning this ballerina…
It rained that night, the second night of our rail tour in Ireland. We had just completed our loop around the Ring of Kerry, and just as we got back to Killarney, the rain came down. We ran under the hotel awning. Back in the hotel room, I swapped my cloth Toms for wellies (rain…
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…
Their story starts with high school prom, but after that, Sun and Elliot went their separate ways and didn’t see or speak to each other for years. They had another chance encounter when they both attended a wedding, but it was still not their time. It wasn’t until a few more years later, when Sun…
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…
I was very honored when my friend Shang asked me to do a photo session for her and her boyfriend. I was also incredibly nervous, because Shang is an amazing photographer herself and has been generously dispensing business and photography advice to me since the very beginning! How do you photograph the photographer? Well, we had…
Gemma and Kevin have been so fun to work with. Their warmth and sincerity are just so lovely to be around. They chose the Tiburon trail for their engagement photos– a place they used to frequent together– and it was the perfect setting. Romance surrounded by nature. Such sweetness.
