We shot our first cook book! For my first gig in the professional food photography world I took on a massive project – 100 recipes in 3 days. Thankfully, I had Alexis on board to style each plate. She was in the kitchen next to Chef Vera figuring out what was coming off the skillet …
For a number of years I owned a yoga and martial arts studio and I saw a lot of bodies. I’m the OCD neurotic type, I can’t even look at a baby if they have a runny nose I don’t care how cute. Which is why I spent a good portion of my yoga classes …
Newborn Baby Photography Alexis and I were talking kids and we were on the 3-5 year plan. I said 3 and she said 5. Then we had a minor scare and now we are on the 5-7 year plan. She says 5 and I say 7. There’s a lot of stuff they don’t prepare you …
YOSEMITE = POWER I had never been to Yosemite. It’s always been on the list but never made it happen. People say that taking photographs of Yosemite is a right of way into nature photography. I suppose I would agree with them. This place will really move you. The experience is massive – not only …

BIG SUR I’ve made a point to come here every year since I’ve been living in California. Having Alexis with me was special because she had never been here before. When you drive this coast for the first time you’re like a kid again, so, by proxy, I was transformed into an 8 year old. …

Well, I’ve always said that I only photograph weddings for couples that actually love each other because the grind of wedding photography will wear you out if you’re not moved by the love of the couple. And that was still true after this past wedding with Michaela and Andre. They peeled it down to things …
On a solo journey through some of Europe’s major cities. I am a wandering soul but not so much that I packed all my belongings into one backpack and am staying at hostels. I have a backpack and a 20″ roller bag, a nice jacket, and a European hat. I’m staying in nice apartments in …
