Last time I photographed Lucca he was six weeks old. Now he is running around keeping photographers on their toes…

Lucca & Family

It's my first blog post back in the States! What a good way to get back into portraits. Lucca was so well behaved for a 6-week-old and had pretty rad parents.

Finally brushing off the dust from my portrait lens...

Portraits: Katie

Katie performed the 1st movement of the Elgar cello concerto on March 12th at Bucksbaum Center for the Arts and blew it out of the water!

Portraits: Mónica

February 27, 2016 in studio, portrait, dance

Desde chica Mónica ha bailado el ballet folklórico del Estado Mexicano de Jalisco. Su madre cosió por mano su vestido bonito. Fuimos al estudio un día frío en invierno y sacamos fotos, y aprendí que tengo mucho que aprender con respeto a tela que está moviendo!

Since Mónica was little she has danced ballet folklórico from the Mexican state of Jalisco. Her mother even made her beautiful dress by hand! We went to the studio on a cold wintery day and took some shots, and I learned I have a lot to learn about taking photos with moving fabric!

Bárbara Hernández: Extreme Swimmer

December 18, 2015 in portrait, travel

I met Bárbara while swimming on an intramural team at the University of Chile in Santiago. She specializes in swimming in freezing water (32-48 degrees Fahrenheit) and let me tag along to document one of her practice swims at Laguna del Inca behind Ski Portillo, a ski center at 2880m (9450ft) in altitude. She is training to swim at the World Championship in ice swimming in Russia next year!

Portraits: Eva

First time doing portraits in awhile! I met Eva as a fellow exchange student last semester, and we had a lovely afternoon at Quinta Normal park taking some shots.

I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do for this shoot, done during the last day of finals week. One swimmer friend and a dark-colored bed-sheet later, this is what came out:
