Journey Through Oregon

In November, I took a 4 day trip to the beautiful state of Oregon. I had been itching to return to the Pacific Northwest ever since I was in Washington last Christmas, and I hadn't been in Oregon since 2011. On this trip, I flew alone, but I probably wouldn't have made the trip at all if it hadn't been for my lovely friend Becca Anne...

DISCOURSE: November - Theresa Lee

Theresa Lee is the owner and co-founder of Future Glory Co., a boutique specializing in handmade leather bags and purses, all designed and made right here in San Francisco, CA. I first met her at a bar through a mutual friend the last time the Giants were in the World Series (2014, in case anyone forgot), and we've been friends ever since. During one of our rainy days earlier this month, I got to chat with and shoot Theresa at Future Glory Co.'s brand new workspace.

Two Rainy Weekend Trips with the Fujifilm X System

This month, I booked two weekend trips back to back. The first was to New York City for three nights, and the second was to Yosemite National Park for one night. It just so happened that both of these trips involved heavy rain at times...

DISCOURSE: September - Lyndsey Elm

Lyndsey Elm is a friend of mine from my Cal Poly days. I've always known her to be an incredible singer and a super nice person, and I secretly wished that I was as good of a musician as she is. Shortly after graduation, something happened that thrust her into the national spotlight. This month, I got to spend a warm San Francisco evening in Lower Haight with Lyndsey doing a fun shoot as well as chatting over some delicious bacon-wrapped dates.
