There are moments in New York City when the streets seem to pause and the universe lines everything up perfectly. Manhattanhenge is one of those rare occasions — when the setting sun falls directly along the east-west grid of Manhattan, transforming the city streets into glowing corridors of light.

Feeling incredibly lucky to do what I love while photographing some of my favorite humans. Watching Thaili shine during her senior session was such a full-circle moment. Beautiful, kind, fun, and completely herself — exactly how senior portraits should feel. These are the moments that remind me why I love photography so much: capturing a...
