A couple months ago, Levi’s (yes, as in the jeans) opened an amazing community resource in downtown, New York City. A free photography workshop. Free classes, free printing services, free computer labs, free studio space, and even an entire array of vintage cameras available for 24 hour rentals– for free! Yes, it’s real, and it’s…
This is one incredibly brilliant and beautiful sisterly duo! One a doctor-in-training, the other a lawyer-in-training; one brown eyed redhead, one blue eyed blonde. So Andrea and Sarah may not be identical, but they are still two of a kind, and yes– they’re twins! I was absolutely delighted when Sarah contacted me to do a…
Have you met the Diana F+ and entered the giveaway? Now it’s time to see the camera in action.

A couple months back, I met Sandy, a superstar blogger and etsy shop owner, through several mutual friends, and she even helped out as our assistant/second shooter at Jenny and Kevin’s Aliso Viejo wedding. I’ve been looped into Sandy’s blog world since, both as a sponsor and as a loyal follower. So when she and…
Magdy’s slightly mischievous laugh counterbalances Zaha’s reserved demeanor. We walk out to the golf course, led by the sinking sun. Zaha looks beautiful no matter the outfit– Pakistani dress or white wedding gown. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful afternoon or a more compelling sunset as the backdrop to the event. 300 friends…
We’re beginning to make a habit of this. I fly to New York, Talya hops into town from Philadelphia, and we do a shoot. By now, Talya is a pro at modeling. She somehow makes this freezing cold winter day look like an effortless, fun, sexy shoot. There is a whole different set of photos…
Lately, I’ve been admitting to myself and others that I’m living the life. I work for myself. I photograph love for a living. I live in an amazing apartment in a city of my very own choosing. I travel. I would be a fool to deny that this is incredible. But my lifestyle is so…
