Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all have a wonderful day and long weekend. I already worked, but that’s the life of a freelancer! And I will have the rest of the day to relax and enjoy spending the day with family. I am really looking forward to a long weekend and spending a lot of… Read more »
Happy Halloween weekend! I really love October and I think it is because there are so many fun fall activities to do that help distract me from the beginning of cold and dark weather. I couldn’t even go jogging yesterday at 5 and catch the sun. 🙁 So far I have gone to a pumpkin… Read more »
So I am almost caught up in my blog posts! I photographed with food & prop stylist Rachel Grunig a little bit ago, and I just love working with her. I love all of the textures and colors in the overhead shoot with the plumcots and the lushness of the urban jungle shot. I hope… Read more »
I did a shoot a few weeks ago with my friend Liz Hererra and it turned out so, so cute. I had wanted to try doing a tablescape and this is one of the things that she does so well. I can’t believe she pulled this all together in only a few days. I am… Read more »
A few weeks ago I got to photograph this beautiful home for HomeAway. I had photographed hotels quite a while ago with Amazon Destinations when it was around and have been really enjoying photographing more interiors again.

I had been thinking a lot about ways to expand my photography from just food, and I felt like shooting interiors would be the perfect addition! I had photographed some interiors while I was in school, and not quite sure why I never did more of it, since I really enjoyed it. I had also… Read more »
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Alisha Dooley last weekend, who did all the styling on this test shoot. It’s funny because we actually know each other from a past life, just growing up in Seattle and going to shows, we have a lot of mutual friends and had spent time around each… Read more »
Last month I went to a class put on by Creative Live and Andrew Scrivani, an amazing food photographer who lives in New York. He talked about this lighting set up where he bounced a strobe head into a v-flat, which was then covered by a silk, which I really wanted to try. I actually… Read more »
