I absolutely love my personal project for 2014, Art for Art. Once a month, I find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I photograph them; they 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 to step in front of…
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…
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…
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…
Yali is quiet, genuine, caring, while Sriram is laid-back, more outgoing, and always able to make her laugh. When they met at work, they found balance and a place in each other’s hearts. I met these two on a sunny but windy-cold day in San Francisco for some engagement photos by the Legion of Honor…
Courtney and Nick are so down to earth and a joy to be around. We met up in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and roamed around, making stops in the Japanese Tea Garden, where they went on the day of Nick’s proposal, and around the Conservatory of Flowers as well. It was an incredibly foggy…
I don’t do family portraits all that often, but this one was a special gift from my friend Nancy to her sister-in-law’s family, and it was so fun. We met up in South Bay at Shoreline Park. The weather was perfect with just a touch of California autumn; little Hunter was just a bundle of…
As promised, a full post from the Pointe of View party in New York City! Major thanks to everyone who has supported the project through and through. We had a wonderful celebration at 39 Lispenard, with help from my boyfriend Jesse, party styling from Hannah of Hanalulu Co., and photography help from my friend Shang. Extra thanks…
Talya is as gorgeous as ever. After a year on her Fullbright scholarship in Latvia, she is now in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, launching her opera career from the artists diploma program at the College Conservatory of Music. Brains, beauty, and talent. It’s crazy the trajectories our paths have taken since college, but it’s…
A million thanks to everyone who came to my Pointe of View party yesterday in New York City! We had such a fantastic turnout for the party, and it was a great unofficial finale to the project. I had a lot of help with this party, and number one thanks goes to my boyfriend Jesse…
Julie and Jeremy’s proposal story, as told by them: Jeremy proposed to Julie exactly on their three year anniversary in front of the Golden Gate Bridge (this is where they first asked each other out!). Julie sleeps in on weekends, so Jeremy woke up early and frantically checked the weather all morning on public webcams…
I love the simplicity and the slightly raw look of this fabric backdrop. It added the perfect touch for our Pointe of View party and was a great and easy way to establish the coral, peach, and mint green color palette for the decor. Many thanks to my intern Rosa for helping both with making…
