Carly & Ellery

I got to know these two lovely sisters in my time helping out with the high schoolers at calvary chapel, and I actually did this photoshoot the last week in August before I left for New York, I just didn’t post the photos until now.
We did not even start this photo shoot until after the sun had set, and I didn’t bring my flash with me so it was all really low lighting, but these girls were troopers and were so much fun to photograph.

Justin and I met because he was working as one of my photographers when I was the photo editor at the Horizon. While he is a talented photographer, he had gotten into modeling a bit and had asked me to do a photoshoot of him to expand his portfolio a bit, so we found some great locations in Montecito, and here are a few of my favorite shots from our day:

Since I have been back on the west coast, I have had a photoshoot day, and I have been loving every moment of it. I am so grateful for the work, and am really enjoying the challenge of continuing my creativity in a professional way. So my first few photoshoots were senior portraits….so here are a few of my favorite from the shoot with lovely April:

first snow of the season
December 22, 2009
I had the pleasure of being in NYC for their first snow! When I looked outside my window and saw the first snowflakes begin to fall I was so excited! Since I was born and raised in California, I don’t get to see too much snow, so it was such a treat to have snow in the city!
Here is the view outside my studio window:
and here are a few pictures of the lights in Tribeca as the snow turned into puddles:
Andrew Zuckerman

For those of you who are not familiar with Andrew Zuckerman’s work, you should check him out right now! I was going to intern with him in NYC this past semester, but he was working on a book project and spending most of his time traveling so I decided to pass on the opportunity and intern with Ira Lippke instead. But I got to visit Andrew’s studio, and I immediately fell in love. It is a simple yet elegant studio located in the heart of Chelsea. Upon meeting Andrew in person, we spoke about the possibility of working for him if I ever moved back…so if I do decide to move back one day, there is a good chance I will get to see this beautiful view every day:
