Afsoon is a visual artist from Tehran. She was in Prague last week for an international visual design event that I was photographing. We hit it off together, and arranged a portrait session.

Recently, I flew from New Hampshire to San Francisco to photograph Ali & Ian’s engagement session. My mother came along to join me after my work.
