Another engagement session with one of my favorites! This is now my third session with Maya; we previously shot photos for the Womxn of Color Collective Portrait Project and her law school graduation. It was such a treat to feel the love the between these two. The only one who loves Maya more than Jason, is the camera!
Idrian was one of the first people to book a grad session this year and he had one request–Lake Merritt. Obviously, we made it happen. The best part this session was Idrian’s total trust in me. You know? The I-know-this-is-going-to-feel-really-awkward-but-I-swear-it-will-look-great. The creamy colors in the photos in front of the quote and all of the backlighting are on point. And how about that smile?!
Chanel is back, but this time with a PLUS ONE! 2020 was quite a year to be born into, but we tried not to let the craziness dim the holiday spirit. Lynnox got all dressed up in her Christmas fit and we headed to Lake Merritt to take a few holiday photos.
This was my first shoot with my Sigma 35mm lens and I was nervous to see how it would handle focus (especially in low light). I am glad to report, it worked like a dream. I am loving how this wide angled look changes the vibe of my photos and I cannot wait to keep putting miles on my lens.
Happy holidays, everyone and here’s to more photos in 2021!
I took pictures of Prince again and they might just be my favorites yet! We went to the botanical garden at Lake Merritt and used my 85mm 1.8 and prism.
