WPPI 2014 & Animoto Pro Giveaway I had to check my journals to confirm that the first year I went to WPPI in Las Vegas was, in fact, in Spring of 2005. That vaguely struck me as a while ago, until I used all the fingers on both my hands to realize that this year, […]

When I photographed the wedding of Kim and Angelo, which was profiled in Essence, I remember thinking that it was probably one of the best parties most had been to – it was big and it was beautifully stylish, everyone was in a great mood, and it went late, late, late, so fun, late. And it […]

I had a beautiful morning photographing this family of four, visiting the United States from Hanover, Germany. This was our second family photography session – the last one was actually four years ago, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, when they were merely a gorgeous family of three.
