Kids and the Creative Process
One of the things I find most inspiring about my work is collaborating with children in the creative process.
3 Cold-Weather Photo Shoot Ideas
Paris + Normandy, France
Winter isn’t the most obvious time for a family photo session, but after the holiday craziness dies down, a lot of families find it easier to schedule. Many of my clients opted to send photo Valentines this year, if they failed to make the Christmas and New Year’s cards deadlines. In case you’re worried about pink noses and making layers work, I put together three concepts for inspiration from photo sessions I did in France this winter that prove it to be a wonderfully creative season for a shoot.
Swap + Chop
San Francisco
Swap + Chop was a cool event conceptualized in the sharing economy to solve a common problem: Kids get bored with toys quickly, and yet parents don’t want to keep accumulating toys. Combine a toy swap with the fantastic skills of the stylists at Revamp Salon, add photography, and voila! Amazing results, from a really fun day.
Reasons to Love San Francisco
From a Photographer’s Perspective
Hello from my new hometown, San Francisco!
Family Photos in Paris
In Paris this month, get a bite-sized photo session under the glow of the lights at Christmastime. Paris is known for its romantic, gorgeous glow at night, and I have always been obsessed with that warm Parisian street lamp vibe. That’s what spawned the inspiration for the holiday sessions — to create images for families that feel utterly and undeniably ‘Paris,’ without feeling touristy or too obvious.
Last-Minute Holiday Bookings

I admit it. I have been known to procrastinate from time to time. As much as I love a good plan, sometimes things just seem to be up in the air until the last minute. So, I have a soft spot for people trying to squeeze in bookings for portraits in December, and do my best to help them get their holiday cards out on time!
Thank You
I love Thanksgiving week. Everyone starts talking about what they’re grateful for, and beginning to focus more on friends and loved ones.
