• father’s day photos…(and my new lens)

    when i started a photography business, i never banked on mother’s and father’s days being a great time for business. apparently it is! and even better for me when they’re sweet little faces like these. the Sonkin boys, Ben and Scott were patient enough with me to allow me into their little worlds for about half an hour so i could get some shots for their dad for father’s day. also (for all you techies out there) a grateful shout out to my new canon 50mm 1.4 for these shots. as much as i would have loved the L series 1.2, i’m not that rich just yet (and i stress…

  • ben and nicole’s wedding

    can i just say how much i love shooting weddings when the couple is so obviously in love? i shot ben and nicole’s wedding a few weekends ago and it was so much fun and such a breeze. when a couple is already glowing with joy for the life they’re about to start together, it just makes the photos automatically so much better. so thanks guys for being so much fun to work with, and for allowing me the privilege of sharing in your special day. you are both truly amazing people. hannahelaine
