Over two months and ten weddings have elapsed since I took these photos in Arizona, but I am finally getting around to sharing these little film gems. I will admit, it’s taken a while for me to catch up to myself. Between the travel and the back to back weddings and the countless hours spent…
Prepare yourselves for cuteness overload! I was invited to photograph little Deion’s second birthday party a couple weeks ago, and I had a great time wandering around with all the little toddlers. The birthday party was held at Joanna and Ray’s downtown San Francisco home with all these amazing views. Joanna and Ray with the…
Raquel and Andy’s engagement guest book just arrived in the mail last week, and it came out beautifully! I love seeing my work in print, and I can’t wait to see this book in action at their wedding in the fall. Here are just two of the many adorable spreads, with some blank spaces for…
I drove past the house on accident and pulled over to turn around. A beautiful deer paused right next to me, gauging whether to resume eating leaves or run away. It eventually ran away. Later, going back up the road, a small pack of wild turkeys ran zig-zagging across the road as if they were having the…
They met at work, and what began as friendship for over a year slowly turned into a romantic relationship. And then that turned Joe into a man with a plan and a question on Stinson Beach– Will you marry me? Of course, Catherine said yes. Over the years, Catherine and Joe have grown to find…
If you’ve been following my blog and the Shooting Film series, you may know that I’ve been documenting all sorts of unscientific experiments in my venture into film. Part 5 was originally going to be about getting started in film, but I figure you can just go to Jonathan Canlas for that. And instead, I’ll…
Today I just wanted to give a shout out to my mentee Sammie. She found me through my friend Dianne Jago when she needed to do a mentorship for her senior year in high school. We met up at my home office for some lessons on photography, and Sammie helped out as my assistant at…
Below are just a few of the film frames from Raquel & Andy’s engagement session in Atlanta. View the original post of digital files here. \
The warm air wrapped around me as I walked down the street in Virginia Highlands and headed out in the beautiful Atlanta neighborhood to take some photographs– on film. Here are a few of my images on Kodak Portra 400, with a couple more black and white frames from the previous roll as well. Love…
Shooting black and white film has a whole different feeling than color or even digital black and white. The image itself comes out wrapped in a thin blanket of nostalgia. And being committed to black and white for 36 frames at a time forces you to see the world in a different way, hyper aware…
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year! Last year, Isla was just turning two, and she was an adorable babble of words and not-words. Now, at age three, she’s morphed into this beautiful little girl who has opinions and ideas about everything, seeks out ladybugs with her eagle eyes, and befriends ducks by…
Wallis rolled ahead of me in her little tricycle, looking back at me skeptically, unsure of whether or not to trust this lady with a camera. She trailed behind her older brother Julian who was mostly disinterested in vetting me out. I would have to win them over, mostly by staying back and letting the…
