My good friend Kate needed new headshots so we strolled around Uptown Oakland and took some portraits in the wild. I'm so happy with the way these turned out!
It Takes A Village
I had the honor of shooting photos last week at the launch party for It Takes A Village Nation, a startup social justice network that aims to give like-minded organizations & individuals around the world a new platform to collaborate and mobilize around causes they care about. Instead of doing a traditional "step and repeat" in front of a branded backdrop, the guests held custom-made signs that they could write on. It was cool idea that matched the DIY vibe of this event and everyone had fun with it. Sometimes it's nice to spend an evening around people doing amazing things in your own community.
