Stephen // New York Photographer

Andrew // Wilhelmina New York

Oooh ooh Andrew Shaw! We finally made a shoot happen. This was a LONG time coming for sure. He had just moved to New York and I was on another short trip to the city. We met up at Ace Hotel, grabbed a coffee and shot around the area. He’s…

Caila // New York Blogger

I’m so thankful for friends like Lauren Listor who send clients my way when she’s booked. It was fashion week, she was booked like crazy and had a last minute inquiry come in from Caila from the Bachelor. The next evening, Caila and I were shooting at the Refinery hotel.…

Patrick // New York, NY

Soho always seems to be my go to shoot location because there are so many options. This shoot with Patrick was nothing short of awesome, even with the cold weather. We hit Gasoline Alley for coffee then wandered around the area to some of my favorite spots. Enjoy!!

David // Q Models

Ah such a blast working with David Sanz once again! I always contact him when I’m in the city and this trip a shoot actually worked out! We met up near the Gansevoort and wandered around until we lost all light. We did a few night shots, then called it…

Back to LA I Go… Or So I Thought

As much as I love spending time in New York, it’s definitely time to get home! Or so I thought… My flight was delayed due to the incoming snow. There’s supposed to be 10 inches, so all flights in and out of New York have been canceled. The good news…

Valeria // One.1 Management New York

Oh man Valeria is too too cool! Would you guess that she’s a mom of two?! It was such a blast working with her! We wandered around Soho before the rain started up and found some great little nooks for shooting. After, we went to ChaCha Matcha just to hang…

Must Go-To Coffeeshops in NYC

Gasoline Alley I absolutely love coffeeshops! New York is a goldmine for coffeeshops. Sure there’s a Starbucks on basically every corner, which is always convenient, but in New York there’s also a ton of coffeeshops that are just as convenient.  There are shops like Gasoline Alley where you can run…

Off to New York City

Here’s to the first trip of 2017! (unless you count Palm Springs) I’m so excited to head back to New York City yet again and be reunited with these two + many more friends. I absolutely love New York because I can walk everywhere or take the train. There’s always…

Andra // One.1 Management

My first shoot of this NYC trip was with the gorgeous Andra of One.1 Management. I had a blast working with her! Turns out we had both just arrived from California and I was one of her first test shoots since she got to town. We wandered around with makeup…

Jimena // One.1 Management

Jimena of One.1 Management is killer! As soon as the camera was on her it is boom, boom, boom! It was literally amazing. Each click was a different pose or movement or facial expression. Alexis Barbera styled Jimena in slouchy boyfriend looks. I’ll let the photos do the talking! Enjoy!  …

2016: That’s A Wrap!

Heading into 2017 like… Well here we are yet again… I say this every year, but it really feels like I was just writing my end of the year blog. 2015 FLEW by! And who knew I’d accomplish so much this year?! It’s wild and honestly my favorite part to…

Ethan: New York Senior Portraits

Ethan and I met up in Soho to take some senior portraits. He didn’t want to do the typical senior portraits that everyone does, so branched out a bit. Ethan is also a photographer, so he came in with lots of ideas & I had a small moodboard together as…
