Client Spotlight: Meetup

I love Meetup's mission. They're working to help build connections every single day, every single minute (You can even check out how many people are signing up for Meetups every minute on their about page). Here's some images from my time working with Meetup. And if you're looking for a cool platform to connect with others, Meetup is definitely the one.

Visiting Yosemite National Park

If there's one National Park that I've wanted to visit, it would be Yosemite National Park. Thanks to Pursuits with Enterprise, Bora and I were able to visit Yosemite during National Park Week. We had such a fun time exploring Yosemite Valley and all its sites. Here's some images from our time there.

Congratulations to Girls on the Run NYC on a successful Sneaker Soiree, their annual fundraising event. The event brought Julie Rice, co-founder of SoulCycle and Chief Brand Officer of WeWork, and her daughter to speak about the impact Girls on the Run NYC has made in their home and family. There were also some great speeches and facts shared from other participants. Here are some images from that event.

You can find more images cropped by their team here.

Activewear Photoshoot for Devon Beaver Designs

in ,

I love shooting campaigns for brands and collaborating directly with designers. Don't get me wrong, I love working with art directors and creative directors, but I appreciate any opportunity to own the creative process from start to finish. I enjoyed working with Devon Beaver to showcase her designs for her 2018 lookbook. Devon created an activewear brand focused on empowerment, diversity, inclusion and comfort. Here are some images from that campaign. I hope you enjoy them as much as Devon does!

A Quick Stop in San Francisco

in

San Francisco is a gorgeous town. Bora and I visited on a warm spring day. No clouds were in sight. While our time in San Francisco was short, we made sure to make some time to have mission burritos at La Taqueria on Mission Street and stopped by Battery Spencer for some epic views. Here's some images from the start of our California trip. Shooting medium format digital helped a bit too. :)
