I had the very great pleasure this fall of doing some aerial hoop portraits with the wonderful Brooke. We took the portraits the week before she moved to Vermont to attend professional circus school. I thought a session would be a nice going-away present since every artist needs professional photos! We had a blast on …
In honor of Friday the 13th, I’m doing a write up on a collaborative, concept shoot I did last weekend with my friends Kate and Eva. I can’t think of a better way to welcome October (scientifically proven, by me, to be the best month) than running around in the woods doing a witchy photoshoot, …
One of my favorite parts of doing these aerial portrait sessions with the Air Temple ladies is that not only do I get to take photos of my beautiful students, but also my friends! I loved working with Jenna–in case her photos don’t give it away she’s one of the smiliest people I know and …

Nothing like a semi-impromptu photoshoot to make the Fourth of July really sizzle!

I’m seriously so in love with how fairy-tale this photo came out. So …
Last Saturday I had the opportunity to shoot with my amazing friend, Liz, who graciously volunteered to be the guinea pig for some aerial photoshoots. She’s a beast on rope–as evidenced by the fact that we got any good shots–so many poses are difficult to do at all on rope, much less hold for photos without …
