I am a California girl at heart who is lucky enough to live in one of the most wonderful, un-California cities in the world, New York. Most days, you'll find me exploring my new home with my amazing husband and our dog, Friday. I love to travel, eat just about anything with peanut butter, meet new friends, shop, read, take pictures, and spoil other peoples' kids and pets rotten. This blog includes my rants and raves about my personal life as well as my adventures in the photography business.

Inspired by fashion, art, and pop culture, I love to capture images using natural light. Although I enjoy taking all kinds of pictures, my style veers towards lifestyle and editorial photography and my favorite subjects are people. I am a photographer purely for the love of it, and I think you'll see that reflected in my work.

Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment!

Tim and Ayla: Wedding


When Tim and Ayla got engaged, they decided they wanted an intimate weekend that truly reflected the joining of their families. Their beautiful June wedding was just that with those they loved most literally flying in from all over the world to celebrate their marriage. The festivities started Thursday and didn't end until Sunday and by Friday everyone was so close it was hard to tell who was on the bride's side and who was on the groom's side.

Tim and Ayla, you are two wonderful people who I am overjoyed found each other.  Congratulations!

The gorgeous Settler's Inn served as the amazing backdrop for their ceremony and much of the weekend's festivities.  It was very remote and quite a trek for the guests to get to, but well worth the trip.

Ayla is a veterinarian and loves horses, so it was very sweet that her parents surprised her with a horse-drawn carriage to take her to the ceremony.

Wedding: Tom and Dana


One of the highlights of my recent trip to Washington, D.C. was getting to spend time with my good friend  Nick Donner of Nicholas Donner Photography.  Nick is an amazing photographer and I had the absolute honor of helping him photograph a wedding.  I just love a wedding at a golf course and Tom and Dana's laid-back affair at the Argyle Country Club in Silver Spring, Maryland was no exception.  (Who doesn't like a bride wheeling around in a golf cart in her wedding dress?) 

The weather was perfect and we couldn't get enough of the beautiful light against all the greenery.  To top it off, both the bride and groom could not have been kinder.  They immediately made us feel like old friends and their guests urged us to kick up our heels out on the dance floor.  Thank you, everyone and especially Tom and Dana, for making the experience so enjoyable!

Be sure to check out Nick's blog for more photos from the day!
