I awoke in the Korys’ beautiful home in Nogales, Arizona, to the backyard views that stretched across the hilly desert horizon. In the other wing of the house, Mrs. Kory was bustling around with preparations, getting ready for her daughter to come back from the salon. It was June 4th, a day that was already…
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…
We began the day in a little oasis of calmness at the Omni Hotel of San Francisco. Cynthia was not nervous or anxious; she was ready. We entered the beautiful Merchant’s Exchange building across the street and took the elevators up to the Julia Morgan Ballroom on the 15th floor. Up in the bridal suite,…
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…

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…
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…
She knew from the beginning, even before he asked her to be his girlfriend, that she wanted to marry him. It was over videochat that he introduced her to his adorable nephews who were sitting on his lap. Jason had little Justin ask the first question– will you be my uncle choo–choo’s girlfriend? And Mega…
They share a love of travel and are often seeking new adventures. When they set out to go hiking in Argentine Patagonia, Raquel thought a proposal might be in the works, but she knew the custom ring they had gone shopping for couldn’t be ordered in time, so she let her suspicions slide. And then,…
I love the way she calls him Chana. It’s a little ball of endearment coated in love. I ask Evy what it means, and she laughs, saying she doesn’t even know if she’s even pronouncing it correctly. She probably puts a Spanglish spin on this Hindi word– Chana. Chickpea. But it’s perfect just the way…
