After the epic never-ending month of January, February seemed comically short, not least because the second half of my month was spent out of the country. More on that to come, but here is a quick look at my two weeks in the Bay! Lunch with Pam! And a lovely message from Temescal Alley. My…
I’ve had such a jam-packed first month of the year. With Justin’s visit, my birthday party, a weekend retreat, and lots of gatherings with friends, it’s been a wonderful start to 2018. Here’s a little look at what I’ve been up to. We start with a sneak peek from yesterday, the last day of the…
What an incredibly nourishing way to start the year. Our Lean In Circle meets once a month to discuss our personal and professional goals, learning together and supporting each other. But when someone suggested that we should expand our meeting into a weekend retreat, I think we all jumped on the idea. We picked MLK…
I was in the Bay Area for most of December (minus a week in LA), so of course I indulged in the time at home by making things, seeing friends, and also preparing for Tiffany and Greg’s New Year’s Eve wedding! See some of my highlights below. And if you’re curious about my full 2017…
I still feel rather ambivalent about the ‘instagrammable museum’ phenomenon, with galleries, installations, and exhibits designed specifically with the selfie and instagram in mind. On the one hand, I love to post these cleverly crafted images just as much as the next person, but on the other, churning people through these instagram factories seems to…
Another year has just flown by! When I think back on 2017, it’s tempting to just brush past it and conclude that it was just like the previous few years. I didn’t make any obvious life changes, and in many ways my life has settled into a pattern of photography, travels, and everyday creative…
Call me crazy or call me lucky; I drove down to Los Angeles twice in two months. The first time was to photograph Allie and David’s Redondo Beach wedding and the second was simply to attend “Second Thanksgiving” (our version of Friendsgiving). Of course lots of food and friends were involved, and I snuck in…
Happy New Year! I am so thankful for the opportunity to have spent another year doing what I love most: photographing people in love and traveling around the world! 2017 was particularly special, as I celebrated my tenth year in business. I am so grateful for all of you who have supported me and made…
For the second year, I joined Justin’s family in Atlanta for Thanksgiving! Here’s a little look at the weekend. Thank you to Samia & Everest for a delicious meal! Visiting the mall for Black Friday, of course. Our Philly friends Elica & Dan have welcomed their baby girl and moved down to Atlanta! After…
November! What a joyful month filled with wonderful gatherings with different groups of friends and the warmest sense of community. We start with a peek inside Brothers and Sisters, an adorable flower shop in Oakland. The Aesthetic Union, a shop next door to Tartine Manufactory. Sun and Elliot and their new baby boy visit San…
If you saw my post of the Nakao Family, you might already know the story behind my day trip to NYC. I hopped on a bus from Philadelphia, and for less than $20 I was able to get to and from New York, round trip. Here’s a little glimpse at my wanderings! First I met…
Some adventures around Philly in October! Philly was my home base for most of October, but we had little side trips to Shenandoah and NYC too. We kick it off with a couple local art shops for DesignPhiladelphia, a ten-day festival that happens all over the city. Dinner at V Street. Pumpkin shopping & tiny…
