Recipe for an awesome engagement session: super in love couple, san francisco neighborhood walk, pretty light, dark corners, bougainvillea, a meaningful embrace, rooftop kisses, and kitty snuggles. Sally and Hattie’s engagement session was all of this and more. I love that we kept it easy-peasy and decided to just walk around their neighborhood and get […]

Surprisingly enough, I haven’t photographed anyone at Baker’s Beach in San Francisco just yet. You’re shocked, I know. It’s a beautiful beach with great views of that infamous bridge, but that means it’s also very crowded. David and David (aka “The Davids”), however, wanted their engagement session to be on a beach with great views […]

Oli and Janette’s wedding was a two-day affair that began with a sweet San Francisco City Hall wedding on a Friday, and continued with an outdoor reception at Ad Hoc + Addendum in wine country on a Saturday. Friends and family flew in from international locations to celebrate and toast the newlyweds with Dynamo Donuts because […]

If you didn’t already know, one of my goals is to photograph more families, whatever family looks like to you. And as soon as I put that intention out into the world, my friends Ed and Anita contacted me to photograph their family at their North Hollywood home to celebrate their 15 year anniversary. And […]

I’m still in awe every time someone finds me on the interwebs (vs. a friend of a friend referral, etc.) because let’s be real… I’m not the best at marketing myself and I’m still not quite sure I know what SEO is, but wow. The universe (er, interwebs) can certainly deliver. Like with these two, […]

When I first met Lewis and Lauren, they had just finished a Soul Cycle class and were up for meeting me for coffee just seconds after finishing their workout (#troopers). They were tired, and yet excited to talk to me about all things wedding. But it wasn’t until their engagement shoot in Golden Gate Park […]

It’s hard to put into words what this wedding and this couple means to me. By the end of Kate and Karyne’s San Francisco engagement session that ended with sushi and drinks (have you heard about my love affair with sushi?), we knew that working together would only be the start of a cherished friendship (yes, they […]

After an awesome engagement session in their own SF neighborhood of Glen Park, I was excited to document Nick and Nancy’s wedding day at the Sequoia Retreat Center in Santa Cruz. Nick and Nancy had planned a long wedding weekend event that was intentional about centering their “community’s” (family and friends) artistic talents, and it […]

I met Kate and Karyne for the first time over boba tea and crazy lookin’ waffles. Those first meetings with clients can sometimes feel like blind dates, but as we talked all about their Northern California elopement plans, there was an ease in our communication… a comfort that felt more like old friends than new ones. And by […]

Sometimes you meet people in the strangest of ways. When looking for a previously worn/loved wedding dress, Nancy answered an online post and went to the home of one of my previous brides. After trying on the dress, they got to talking about all things wedding. Naturally, the wedding photos I shot came out and […]
