I have fond memories of growing up in Michigan and looking out at the deck to see the feet of snow that piled on top of our picnic table outdoors to form a giant snow cake. Here in San Francisco we’re never really graced with such winter wonderlands. But it’s just as well, because I…
I have always been a more expressive writer than speaker. Writing often allows me to process my thoughts in a deeper, more personal way. So alongside my photography, I have come to embrace writing as an extension of my self expression. My personal posts on this blog have been a mixture of passion projects, travelogues,…
I have been able to work with some of the most amazing couples this year. I’ve always loved photographing people in love, because it’s not as much about capturing my interaction with them as it is about getting them to interact genuinely with each other, and being able to capture that interchange. For all of…
A couple months ago, Levi’s (yes, as in the jeans) opened an amazing community resource in downtown, New York City. A free photography workshop. Free classes, free printing services, free computer labs, free studio space, and even an entire array of vintage cameras available for 24 hour rentals– for free! Yes, it’s real, and it’s…
Have you met the Diana F+ and entered the giveaway? Now it’s time to see the camera in action. When you’ve become accustomed to technically perfect dSLRs, it’s both difficult and exciting to shoot film and not know what you’re going to get. So here they are– some frames and a glimpse behind the scenes…
We’re beginning to make a habit of this. I fly to New York, Talya hops into town from Philadelphia, and we do a shoot. By now, Talya is a pro at modeling. She somehow makes this freezing cold winter day look like an effortless, fun, sexy shoot. There is a whole different set of photos…
Kevin is the ultimate yes-sayer. He doesn’t doubt; he just makes things happen. So when it came to proposing to Jenny, he brewed his plan involving a fake Craigslist ad, got down on one knee, and made it happen. When it came to patching the wedding day with some last-minute errands, he hopped in the…
It already seems so distant, that feeling of jetting day to day. Over the course of sixty days I flew across the country, traveling for work and (mostly) for fun. For the first thirty days, I had a JetBlue All You Can Jet pass, which allowed me to fly as much as I wanted, wherever…
We were running around Los Angeles a couple days before Jenny & Kevin’s wedding, a group of 10 to 20 friends in town for the wedding, and it was all shopping, hanging out, and most importantly– eating. All you can eat Korean barbecue, fish tacos, more fish tacos, Taiwanese homestyle meals, and Yogurtland. And that…
What began as a chilly, frost-laden morning quickly warmed to perfection in time for the ceremony. All around were the golden tones of autumn, the impeccable green golf course, and a blue sky adorned with little artistic wisps of cloud. So in the bright sunshine, surrounded by the intimate gathering of friends and family, Gina…
We sat on the porch at Woodford Reserve, rocking back in the wooden chairs and shielding our eyes from the afternoon sun. I had to take this moment to let all of the Kentucky goodness soak in. All weekend it was rolling green golf courses, multicolored trees, majestic horses, and a premium bourbon distillery, and…
I had forgotten what autumn in the Midwest feels like, the temperature swinging from freezing at night to cool and crisp during the day. Here I was, back in Cincinnati for just a couple days before heading down to shoot a wedding in Kentucky. I was thinking back to how reluctant I had been to…
