The Greater Goods

Arian Franz of The Greater Goods hired me to shoot a lookbook for her amazing, all-natural, handmade soaps. It was so.much.fun! I want to do it again. Here's an iPhone snapshot preview (edited with VSCO Cam).

Yossy Arefi for Pantry Confidential

This lady and her home = calm, beauty, and elegant order. Yossy Arefi, who is a photographer, food stylist, baker, and blogger, was a quiet pleasure to photograph.

See what else is in Yossy's kitchen (hint: beautiful Persian essentials plus more gratuitous pie shots) over at Pantry Confidential!

VSCO Grid Feature

The fine folks at VSCO featured my mobile photography today! VSCO is my go-to for editing images for both my iPhone pics and my big professional camera pics.  Their aesthetic is clean, simple, and beautiful. I'm flattered they like my Grid! Check it out. It's my visual diary of everyday beauty as well as far-flung travels, like this Icelandic scene below. It's amazing what you can do with your iPhone these days!

Two good interviews and a photographic reversal of the male gaze

1. Platon talks about turning his lens away from the powerful and onto the truly courageous, plus on what it takes to succeed as a commercial photographer.

2. Andrea Gentl, whose food + travel photography is out of this world, talks about what inspires her (the small things!) and shares her favorite places to eat, drink, and shop in NYC.

3. Hannah Price turns her camera onto the men who catcall her. Loved this series on reversing the power of the male gaze.

Stéphane Hubert Design for Madesmith

This couple, their story, the wood, the textures and colors...I was completely taken. Sometimes the photo gods give you a gift, and this was one of those times :) For the full story and to purchase Stéphane's amazing pieces, visit Madesmith.

Two years

Two years ago, this happened. Happy anniversary, to my love, my muse, and my partner in crime. May we continue to make each other laugh every day for the rest of our lives.
