I spent Christmas Day lounging around at home until it was time to head to the airport. Overnight, I flew cross-country to New York City, and there I arrived, dark and early, at 6am. This was my first time spending the holidays in New York, and with all the crazy snowstorms this year, it was…
I am so thrilled to have my photographs featured in the New York Edition of Sophisticated Weddings Magazine. Jen and Clay’s gorgeous wedding is the perfect showcase for The River Cafe’s Manhattan views. The magazine is available on newsstands all around the New York area, or you can purchase a copy online here. Can’t wait…
The fluffy white snow had begun crusting into ice, rain fell from the sky, and our fingertips were frozen, but with a classic Hasselblad 501C in hand, it was all tolerable. Beautiful, even. I can think of no better way to commemorate a snowy New York City than with these lovely film– yes, analog film…
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…
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…
For my boyfriend Jesse’s birthday this year, he had a dinner party with fifteen friends. But it wasn’t any dinner party– it was a privately catered event with Luca and Bri from MasterChef! If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll know that Luca is the lovable Italian guy who won the whole thing, and…
Greetings from New York! I am currently in the city again, but I am still posting about last month’s trip. We packed in the New York eats as always, between our trip to India and my photographing a Brooklyn wedding. It was a lovely autumn visit all in all. Gifts from Jesse on the left:…
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…
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…
I made my second New York trip of the year at the end of June. The visit was sandwiched between weddings in the midst of peak season, but we managed to pack in a ton of good food and great company, as usual. And as if completing the entire Thomas Keller restaurant collection (with Bouchon…
Following my posts on Manhattan and our excursion to Blue Hill at Stone Barns, we continue the New York love with more ventures across the boroughs in search for good food. In fact, this post revolves almost entirely around food, so if you are very hungry or hate looking at food, consider yourself warned. Join…
What is there to say about New York City that hasn’t already been said? Perhaps the more you come to New York or the longer you live here, the more the city envelops you. Those who are less optimistic might say it swallows you whole. I usually set my own pace on trips, no matter…
