As with all my personal projects, I just sort of dream up these ideas and form a vision in my mind, and…

    Bridgette & Ryan | Silver Moon Silk Wedding Album

    I absolutely love finishing off a wedding order with a beautiful heirloom album. It’s such a beautiful way of telling the story of a wedding day in a tangible form. For their wedding album, Bridgette and Ryan chose a gorgeous gray silk and the medium 10×10″ size. I always love custom debossing the cover. Bridgette…

    24 Hours in Boston | Travel Photography

    We took the bus from New York to Boston, sleeping through most of the four-hour ride. Once we arrived, Jesse and I got ourselves over to our friend Emily’s place, and we decompressed until it was time for dinner at Cinquecento just down the street. Between the beautiful spring blossoms everywhere and the spirit of Easter…

    Springtime in New York City | Brooklyn Botanic Garden & Bosie Tea Parlor

    Springtime in New York City sure beats every other season in New York. Never mind the fact that there was still snow on the ground when I arrived in April. What the air still lacked in warmth, it made up for with a sense of promise. Cherry and magnolia blossoms were out in full force,…

  • Copenhagen, Denmark | International Travel Photography

    Copenhagen, Denmark | International Travel Photography

    We were certainly greeted by the cold Nordic air once we arrived in Denmark. But with its cutely colored houses lined up along the water, Copenhagen certainly had more than enough charm to make up for the weather. It was probably my favorite city of the three we visited on our Europe trip. Our first…
