Well, happy 2018 everyone!  I love kicking off this new year with some inspo from my dear friend Lelia.  We met about a decade ago working on a TV show.  In the months that passed we became fast friends bonding over color coordinated files and a love of coffee breaks. In the years that would […]

Love Your Space: Interview with Lelia Tran

Design Your Story: Interview with Jake Rossilli

Earlier this year I embarked on a rebranding project with my pal and co-worker Jake Rossilli.  Jake is a filmmaker and designer and as anyone who knows him would say, one rad human.  Since last Jan, we met at coffee shops, our homes, and pubs at all hours we could find outside of our work […]

It’s hard to say when exactly I knew I’d be friends with Sondra.  If I had to bet it was somewhere between us laughing over a moment in Bridget Jones’ Diary and us then taking it 10 steps further by actually reenacting an entire scene in person, WITH accents (as you do).  Let’s just say […]

Do What You Love: Interview with Beth Burns

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing my friend Beth for her new event planning venture Feast & Spectacle.  About 6 years ago we were co-workers at a Seattle ad agency sifting our way through project plans and budgets trying to find ways to make the creative team happy and to help the client […]

Back in February when it was grayer than gray and beyond chilly I attended a fun pop up floral design workshop I had heard about through Instagram where I met Pam.  Our table was full of fun ladies and overflowing with roses and greens.  In the darkness of winter (if you’re a northwesterner you know […]

I’ve known Lelia for almost 10 years.  What’s super fun to me about this particular shoot is that we’ve worked together at 2 different jobs and seen each other’s careers go every which way but I would venture to say that neither of us ever expected to be where we find ourselves now and in […]

Cecille Portraits – Portland

My sisters are such an indescribable source of joy and comfort in my life. I’ve been truly lucky to have them in my world and treasure each moment with them completely.  When my youngest sister Cecille recently asked if I would be up for taking some portraits of her there was zero hesitation and only […]

First of all, has it really been over a month since my last posting?  Eeps!  Thankfully, I’ve still had time to shoot in between moving and everything else.  I’ll share two posts this week to show off some recent goodies.  Just before leaving SF, I was asked to shoot some portraits for the lovely Alexa.

Winter in Walnut Creek with Cecille

I had the most joyous shoot a few weeks back with my sister Cecille.  We took to the hills of the Shell Ridge Open Space near Walnut Creek to take some promo shots.  The landscape was incredible.  It made it loads of fun to come up with ideas and Cecille was up for all the […]
