the ace: palm springs

While in Palm Springs a few weeks back I stayed at The Ace Hotel. We had such a good time when we stayed at their NYC location that I thought I should try this one out too and it did not disappoint! You must try the sangria while lounging by the pool… I have plans to be in Seattle and Portland later this year so maybe I can get a full house visit them all!

My grandparents celebrated 6o years of marriage a few weeks ago. They spent the afternoon outdoors singing hymns with three of their daughters. (And that’s my beautiful mom in the bottom photo!)



rock formations

A few more from Joshua Tree… I wanted to photograph these rock formations up close to give them a more abstract feel. I love the sculptural qualities that they have.



a day in joshua tree

All from a day trip to Joshua Tree. It was chillier than it looks, but oh so beautiful. Such a great way to disconnect from the everyday and enjoy nature.



christine + jason

After my shoot in LA, I headed to Palm Springs to meet up with Christine and Jason. This was our first time to meet in person and they showed me some beautiful spots that I wouldn’t have found on my own. Looking forward to seeing you two back east in a few months! You can view the entire shoot here.

Shot driving through Joshua Tree… more images to come from this and my time spent in Palm Springs!



toby + henry

I made a trip to SoCal at the end of February (a nice break from the Manhattan winter!) to photograph some clients who are getting married later this year. My first stop was in Los Angeles where I got to spend the day hanging out with Toby & Henry at their local haunts. I’ve known Toby forever but haven’t seen her in ages and I loved getting see her again and meet Henry (And I fell in love with their house… I was serious about that home swap if you ever want to come to NYC, though you may get the short end of the deal). You can view the entire shoot here.



holga: egg

This is still one of my favorite brunch spots in the city. You must check out Egg if you find yourself in Williamsburg one day.
