For the two days after Ellie’s birthday, I wandered around Los Angeles having little art adventures. I visited two of the MOCA museums (there are 4 locations total); The Broad; the brand new Skyslide 70 floors in the air; and a couple cute shops too. We kick it off with the MOCA Geffen by Little Tokyo. …
I absolutely love photographing surprise proposals! This one was so simple and sweet, filled with last-minute improvisation from our Florida couple and the most gratifying expressions of surprise and excitement from Luciana. I’ll let her tell the full story below! From Luciana: “Scott and I met one year ago in Miami. I had been running around…
I am so thrilled to share this tea party with you all. If you’ve followed me for a while, you probably know my love for tea time. But after having seen so many different takes on the vintage/garden party/Alice in Wonderland types of tea parties, I wanted to craft something a little different: a more modern approach to afternoon tea….
The field of competition for ‘most adorable one-year-olds’ is fierce, and everyone has their biases, but I’ll put my vote in for Ellie. She is such a happy baby, a great sleeper, and definitely has the best head of hair. Plus, she has the best possible parents in my friends Jenny and Kevin. They are like…
I love a good summertime jaunt to the windy city. This Chicago trip I got to attend a wedding; photograph an engagement; check out two art museums; and hang out with old friends, three of whom also just happened to be in town for unrelated reasons that weekend. See some favorite snapshots below. Some friends brought…
My visits to Philly this summer have been packed with festivals, colorful art, and lobsters! Take a little peek below. First up, the Italian Market Festival. The Strawberry Festival in Peddler’s Village. We heard a lady at the strawberry stand proudly declaring, “No, these are not local! The local strawberries were terrible this year.” They…
Amber and Ben first met at a bar in New York City, where he was donning a mullet wig and making ridiculous faces all night, but she somehow saw past all that and wanted to get to know him better. He soon won her over with humor and wit, and despite the fact that Ben was…
New Orleans is such a unique city. With such a complex blend of French creole and diverse cultures, a vibrant round-the-clock night life, and the lasting impact of Hurrican Katrina, it’s an endlessly colorful and interesting place. We flew down over Memorial Day weekend, staying for three nights and covering a lot of ground across the Seventh Ward,…
I had so much fun running around one of my favorite places in San Francisco with Laura and Steve for their engagement session: the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA)! Here are a few of my favorites below. Love that Serra installation. Love this one. So sweet! Light & bright under the oculus. Some Cy…
The California girl traveled to Sydney in search of a new adventure. She was vegan at the time, though that didn’t last long when she started working at a steak house. It was there, at “Hurricane’s” by Bondi Beach, living the beach bum life, that she would meet fellow coworker Cameron, who was also just temporarily in Australia….
Whitney and Matt’s love story began seven years ago when they met in college and immediately became inseparable. In 2013, on a beautiful day at sunset, Matt proposed to Whitney at the Lawrence Hall of Science, overlooking Berkeley, Oakland, and the entire Bay. Shortly after they were engaged, Whitney contacted me about engagement and wedding photography,…
Art-filled adventures around the Bay from this April and May! First off, Pace Gallery teamLab in Menlo Park. The main exhibits are very instagrammable. They’re mostly different light installations that run on infinitely variable algorithms, so they are supposed to factor in human interaction, but they’re not immediately responsive or anything, so the interactive aspect is…
