Vellum Furniture Competition

I've never been so proud of an architecture project of mine. A hand-crafted project requires so much time, energy, and passion. This Copper Pipe Chair was truly a labor of love.

The LA Weekender

For this shoot, I wanted to create a fashion spread with different looks, and Karen so flawlessly carried out my vision by expertly styling and modeling every outfit.

Double Exposed

I decided to shoot portraits, and incorporate nature and other settings as stylistic compositions that fill in the silhouettes. I wanted the curve of the hand and faces to be appear as a natural and inherent frame.

I'm in love with the way the 5' Octobox lights a full body shot - it's so soft and flattering on any person.

Britta

I'm slowly falling in love the telephoto portrait lens and cropping tighter to capture editorial beauty shots.

I couldn't resist buying face paint from the Halloween aisle at Target a few weeks ago.

Summer in San Francisco

I spent this past summer in beautiful San Francisco, and spent as much time as I could exploring every inch of the city. I took way too many pictures, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite places.
