I am so excited to introduce my new personal project for 2014: Art for Art. Once a month, I will find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I’ll photograph them; they’ll photograph me. We’ll get to see each other work; we’ll explore how different or similar our styles might be; and we can challenge ourselves…
This is our second Style Me Pretty feature for the month! It’s Amy & David’s lovely wedding at Gloria Ferrer Winery in Sonoma. I love a good wine country wedding, and Gloria Ferrer not only has a lovely wine cave for receptions but also has breathtaking vineyard views surrounding its property. The florals hit the…
Edit: This giveaway is now closed. Winners will be announced on March 1, 2014. I am thrilled to announce a Same-Sex Wedding Giveaway, coast to coast, open to both San Francisco (my home base) and New York City. This project has been in the back of my mind for a very long time now. I’ve…
I am so happy to see Mairin & Nikhil’s beautiful Rhode Island wedding published on Style Me Pretty this week. Their Catholic + Hindu ceremonies were so breathtaking, and those vibrant florals stood out beautifully against the clean, white loft-like space of Belle Mer. You can check out the full post and view the gallery here: Style…
I just love getting these leather wedding albums when they arrive in the mail. They are just so beautifully crafted, and I can imagine generations down the line leafing through these pages of their parents’ or their grandparents’ love story. Caterina and John chose a beautiful navy blue color for their album, and of course…
When my friend Howard gifted this portrait session to his sister, I was first surprised to learn that he had a sister and then surprised to learn that she lives right here in Oakland, no more than five minutes from me! It took quite a while to schedule the shoot with Cindy and her boyfriend…
2013 was a force of a year. It was the kind of year in which big things– gigantic things– kept happening, one after another. Right off the bat, my friends and supporters raised over $12k for my Pointe of View project, and I published a book! I traveled to four countries, two of which I…
I’ve been looking forward to this lovely portrait session for almost a year since our last shoot together. Shau-Ru and Ed are always plotting little getaways and romantic gestures for each other that are just so sweet. It’s a true joy to see what Shau-Ru dreams up for each of our shoots. For their second…
Here in California we might not get the snowy winters of my childhood in Michigan, but the holiday season is still a wonderful time to snuggle up with the ones you love and enjoy a warm treat while reflecting on the year. It was a lot of fun making my little snowflake marshmallows and putting…
Pointe of View is now available in form! The calendar comes as a set of twelve 4×8″ cards, each featuring a ballerina photograph from the Pointe of View series and a clean, modern calendar design. It’s a stylish set, beautiful as art on the wall or stacked as a desk calendar. They come wrapped and gift-ready…
I absolutely love seeing weddings in print form, and these heirloom leather albums are the perfect way to capture the story for generations to come. Gemma and Kevin’s album is a lovely “coffee bean” leather in an 8×8″ size. In the leaves, amongst the leaves. Each book is expertly crafted with bindings that will last…
It’s our little tradition to document Jenny and Kevin’s love story and to create a beautiful leather album every year. For this, our fifth shoot together, we opted to document a slice of their lives in their first home together, which we have lovingly dubbed the “Yauhaus” (after their last name, Yau). We started with…
