Happy Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day! Here are just some of the many great father-daughter moments from the past year!
Nyesha & Eugene’s Intimate Garden Wedding | Imperial Hotel, Amador City | Northern California Wedding Photography
An hour east of Sacramento, there lies a tiny little town called Amador City. Today, with less than 200 residents, it is but a charming little remnant of the California gold rush. Nyesha and Eugene had vacationed here and stayed at the Imperial Hotel a year before, and they decided it would also be the…
Carla & Matt | Duke University Chapel & Nasher Museum | North Carolina Wedding Photography
Just seeing the way that he looks at her would be an inspiration to even the coldest-hearted cynic. Both Matt and Carla said it and exuded it throughout the day– they were just so happy to be marrying each other, and they could not wait to begin their marriage together. They waited through long distance…
Lorin & Reese | San Francisco Maternity Photography
Meet Lorin & Reese! These two are so sweet, and they have a little one on the way! I met them on Mother’s Day in their beautiful San Francisco apartment, and we spent a little time there and down the street at the park for a few portraits. \ Favorite! Congratulations, Lorin & Reese!
Julia Canavese, Dancer | San Jose Lifestyle Portraits
On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, I met up with Julia for some beautiful dance portraits and headshots at the Municipal Rose Garden in San Jose. I never knew such a place existed in San Jose! Below are just a few of my favorite frames.
Anika & Vijay | San Francisco Surprise Proposal Photography
This was such an incredible surprise proposal. Vijay crafted such an intricate plan, completely thoughtful and intimate down to the last detail. It was not a big public display or self indulgent in the least. It was all for Anika. It was all about Anika. While Anika went to work, Vijay prepared everything in her…
Sun & Elliot | San Francisco Engagement Photography
This is an engagement I’ve been looking forward to for a while now. You may remember my friends Sun and Elliot from their portrait session a year ago, before they were engaged, just as they were about to embark on a year of long distance across San Francisco and Vietnam. Well, they made it through…
Erin & Thomas’ Elopement | Big Sur Wedding Photography
This elopement takes my breath away. Erin is a painter; Thomas is a composer. They both knew they didn’t want a big, expensive wedding. It was difficult for their families to not be there for the ceremony, but they knew this was what fit them best. They flew from New York City to Big Sur,…
Elisa Park, Clarinetist | Musician Headshots
She is a pharmacist by trade, but she doubles as a clarinetist in her free time. I met with Elisa one Sunday for a quick headshot session outside the Dean Lesher Theater in Walnut Creek. I love the mix of looks we got! Some of my favorites are below.
Erin & Jack | San Francisco Engagement Photography
A surprise engagement session! Erin and Jack were so great to work with. They were visiting San Francisco from Seattle, and Erin planned the whole shoot as a surprise to Jack for his birthday weekend. We started by the California Academy of Sciences and wandered through Golden Gate Park to the San Francisco Conservatory of…
Talya Lieberman, Vocalist | Musician Headshots
My friend Talya is an incredibly talented opera singer. She also happens to be gorgeous. She’s one of my long time fans and has made frequent appearances on this blog. This time, I told her if she flew out to California, she had a portrait session waiting for her over here. She got a little…
Christine & Scott | V. Sattui | Napa California Wedding Photography
They envisioned an outdoor wedding at a Napa Valley winery, V. Sattui. The courtyard would be strung with lights and guests would be seated in the cozy little square. But mother nature had other plans when the forecasts all turned to rain. Of course, Christine and Scott didn’t let it stop them for one second….
