People are always surprised when I, an avowed nature devotee, express how in love I am with New York City. I feel so at home there each time I visit, and I was even lucky enough to work there in the summer of 2017 for a celebrity, managing their artwork and photographing their home (and helping them prepare for a renovation).

Most of you know how much I love this area, it’s actually my third time traveling there in the last 5 years! I could seriously go every...

For most photographers, it’s been an interesting past year and my experience is no exception. My regular work shooting for commercial clients and agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area was upended by the Coronavirus pandemic, and keeping busy has meant constantly shifting gears to keep the calendar full.
