Santa Barbara to San Diego on Film | California Coast | Travel + Film

After graduating college, my friend Sam and I took a road trip from Santa Barbara all the way down to San Diego, stopping in coastal towns all the way down the Pacific Coast Highway. 

After graduating college, my friend Sam and I took a road trip from Santa Barbara all the way down to San Diego, stopping in coastal towns all the way down the Pacific Coast Highway. 

Dreamy doesn't even begin to describe it. 

While we were there, I did a bit of content creation you can check out here. But other than that, I didn't have my "real camera" out much at all. It was nice to focus on spending time with my friend in the moment, without worrying about making everything insta-worthy and aesthetically pleasing.

I did, however, use my Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 camera almost every day while we were there. Overall it was a much needed analog vacation.

The 2016 Tony Awards Gala After Party at The Plaza Hotel | New York, NY | Event

Photos from The Tony Awards after party at The Plaza Hotel.

This may have been the best night of my life. 

Those of you that know me know that I am a SLAVE TO THE THEATRE. So naturally, an invite to The Tony Awards After Party was a dream come true. I fangirled pretty hard the whole evening.

Behind the scenes, my gear was betraying me. My speedlight wasn't firing and the room was barely lit, meaning that without a flash, my camera was pretty much useless. I made the best of a bad situation, though. I cranked up my ISO as high as it could go, and hoped for the best. I somehow managed to take a few good shots, and The Plaza was happy with what I delivered. *Phew*

All in all, it turned out pretty great. I got to meet some of my idols AND I have proof.

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!

A Central Park Picnic with Shelcy & Christy | Central Park, NYC | Content Creation + Lifestyle

Cheers to summer! Fashion bloggers Shelcy & Christy curated the perfect summer picnic for this shoot. 

Cheers to summer!

Working with Shelcy and Christy is always such a pleasure because they have very specific, editorial visions for what our shoots should look like.

The last time I worked with them, we went for a 60s/70s beach vibe at Coney Island (check out that post here), but this time we wanted to curate the perfect summer picnic in New York. 

Thanks to my friend Ari at The Plaza, we got to use a beautiful picnic set! #perks

Do you have a favorite picnic spot in New York!? Let me know in the comments! I'm always looking for new spots.

Randi + WeSpeak | Chelsea, Manhattan | Lifestyle

This is Randi. She's one of We Speak's new recruits and I couldn't be more thrilled that she was the first girl I had the pleasure of working with.

I recently started a collaboration with the amazing modeling agency We Speak.

Too often, models are asked to meet unrealistic standards that compromise their own health and wellness. We Speak is dedicated to hiring diverse, healthy models in an attempt to help the industry grow in the right direction. 

This is Randi.

She's one of We Speak's new recruits and I couldn't be more thrilled that she was the first girl I had the pleasure of working with. Her hair alone gave me so much life! She brought all her own clothes and we just played in the gorgeous studio space at The Alchemical

You can check out Randi's instagram and We Speak's website and instagram for more information.
