Hillary | Casual, Lifestyle Headshots | West Village, Manhattan

Hillary wanted her headshots to feel casual and approachable, rather than stiff and corporate. As a freelance writer, she needs to have updated headshots on hand to share with publications, and we thought a stroll around the West Village would be the perfect setting.

I met up with Hillary in Washington Square Park to shoot some casual headshots. Hillary wanted her headshots to feel casual and approachable, rather than stiff and corporate. As a freelance writer, she needs to have updated headshots on hand to share with publications, and we thought a stroll around the West Village would be the perfect setting.

Olivia Macklin on 35mm + Why I love Shooting Film | Los Angeles, California | Travel + Film

This October I visited my dear friend Olivia in LA while she was on hiatus from LA to Vegas. Needless to say, we had a great time basking in the glorious weather and eating our way down Abbot Kinney. 

This October I visited my dear friend Olivia in LA while she was on hiatus from LA to Vegas. Needless to say, we had a great time basking in the glorious weather and eating our way down Abbot Kinney. 

While I was in California, I exclusively shot film -- something I've been challenging myself to do more often. When I shoot film, I pay so much more attention to composition and aesthetics because I only have 30 or so exposures per roll (aka 30 moments to capture). Given how expensive it is to develop film, this forces me to stop and think before hitting the shutter. 

 Check out some highlights from my trip below.

 All shot on my Canon A1 + Portra 400. I get all my film developed by The FIND Lab.

Bea Osorio | SoHo, Manhattan | Lifestyle

I met up with Bea in SoHo and we basically couldn't stop talking. We walked the neighborhood chatting about our PR jobs and eventually found cute little spots to snap a photo or two.

Post-session we kept talking and ended up grabbing Thai food. I love it when clients become friends!
