mara and jesse | not a couple, but a couple of cuties.

What ensues when you grab a pair of your most attractive buddies and find a patch of sunflowers: 

 

jessica | singer-songwriter

Jessica is a singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles. You can check out her work on YouTube and Facebook via her performing name: Jessica Louise. Thanks for a great afternoon, Jessica! 

esther & ursula | a loving duo

Esther and Ursula are a little powerhouse of a family. These two have terrific energy and share a super special bond with one another. Their home is absolutely beautiful with some serious bohemian jungle vibes floating around. 

Thank you for opening your home to me, ladies. Keep on loving the way you do. 

the wansom-huang family

a few weeks prior to this session with the young Wansom-Huang family,  i had a beautiful engagement session with Brandy and Derrick (check that out here). Derrick's sister was apparently impressed with her brother's engagement shoot (hey, thanks Tanya!) and contacted me about booking a session for her young family.

i'm so glad she did.

this youthful family of mom, dad, and two sons live in a gentle and easy area of Bangkok. we spent the morning at an eclectic coffee shop and took a breezy walk around an outdoor government park.

my favorite line of the day was by Chris, the father, as he gave his wife, Tanya, a huge hug. he said "when you're a parent, you sometimes just need to give each other these big, long hugs". it was truly a beautiful moment between two adults, in love, raising two sons together.

thank you to the Wansom-Huang family for sharing their morning with me...and for that delicious banoffee dessert.

valerie bentson | portraits

Valerie Bentson, sometimes going by Valerie Joyce, is a singer-songwriter and actress from California living and working in Bangkok. I had the pleasure of acting alongside her during my first theater experience a few months ago. She's talented and such a joy to be around. Totally quirky and absolutely chill.

We spent the day walking up and down the canals of Bangkok. It's a grimy place with lots of graffiti, tainted waterways and overgrown foliage. I adore them.
