Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. For more, view all these ballerina posts or visit the Pointe of View store. There’s something about this photograph that just speaks to my heart: the muted tones of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline; Lexi’s dynamic movement captured in this beautiful line, made still…
When I look at this image, I love the colors of autumn, the beautiful dancer, and the fact that I once took my high school prom photos right next to this gazebo. But the thing I love most is the light. I have always tended toward being a natural light photographer, scouting for light and…
Happy Anniversary, Jenny & Kevin! Today is the actual date that marks two years from their wedding. I love that we have an annual tradition of doing a photoshoot together.

Gemma and Kevin have been so fun to work with. Their warmth and sincerity are just so lovely to be around. They chose the Tiburon trail for their engagement photos– a place they used to frequent together– and it was the perfect setting. Romance surrounded by nature. Such sweetness.
We kicked things off with a drink at one of their favorite brunch spots, Buck’s.

The shoot was filled with sweetness and laughter, and I had so much fun with Emilie and Marcus roaming…
