    Miami Beach

    Our springtime baseball tour of Florida was perfectly timed, as we were very lucky with warm, sunny days and not much humidity. The visit was capped off with three nights in Miami Beach– my first time ever visiting Miami, beach or otherwise. We stayed right in South Beach at the Uma House, a very cute…

    I am an enthusiastic supporter of portrait sessions for all seasons of life and for celebrating anything any time.

    Baby Sana | San Francisco Newborn Session

    I may be a little biased, but I think photography sessions make for the absolute best gifts! This mama was gifted her newborn session from her sister. It was so wonderful to meet and photograph Baby S exactly one month after her birthday. Here are a few of my favorites of this sweet little family….
