Katherine & Josh | Muir Woods | Bay Area Engagement Photography
There’s a special magic to walking amidst the redwoods at 6pm on a Thursday. The park is almost empty, quiet but for the sounds of nature that surround you. It was the perfect setting to Katherine and Josh’s engagement session. And though dogs aren’t allowed in Muir Woods itself, their pup Scout got to join…

Cristin & Michael | San Francisco Engagement Photography
Standing at Land’s End, where San Francisco meets the Pacific Ocean, they braced themselves against the whipping of the wind. Holding each other close, they carved out their own little space together. I love these two and their gorgeous two-part engagement session. Can’t wait for the wedding later this year! Hair & Makeup: Julianne, Prettyologie Anna Wu…

Meghana & Aseem | Jacuzzi Family Winery | Sonoma Engagement Party Photography
The party was beautifully arranged– the perfect balance of a casual gathering and an elegant reception. Meghana and Aseem gathered with some of their closest family and friends at the Jacuzzi Family Winery in Sonoma, not quite for their wedding yet, but for their engagement party. It was a wonderful California celebration in advance of their Denver wedding later…

Afternoon Tea at Laduree & Springtime around NYC
A month after my last trip to New York City, I was back again in May to photograph a lovely wedding and to enjoy more springtime adventures. We kick off the post with afternoon tea at Laduree in Soho! The famous Laduree is undeniably cute, but the already-expensive macarons ($2.85 I believe) jump to $3.15…

Nima Salimi| Art for Art | San Francisco Portrait Photography
Since the beginning of 2014, I have been working on my year-long personal project, Art for Art. Once a month, I find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I photograph them; they photograph me. We’ll get to see each other work; we’ll explore how different or similar our styles might be; and we can challenge…

Cynthia | Hotel Rex | San Francisco Musician Portraits
My friend Cynthia is an incredibly talented musician and all-around creative. We got together at Hotel Rex in San Francisco’s Union Square for some glamorous portraits to help promote her new jazz solo show.

Fullerton & Alhambra | Southern California Travel Photography
I took the quick hour-long flight from Northern California to Southern this past weekend to attend a wedding with my boyfriend Jesse and his family. Judy and Jeff’s wedding was a beautiful Californian soiree at the Muckenthaler Mansion in Fullerton. And the next day, I got to meet up with my friends over in Alhambra…

Cassandra | Mood Shoots | Treasure Island Portrait Photography
Welcome to my newest personal project, a series of “mood shoots.” For these shoots, I wanted to explore a certain look and feel in my portraiture, working with light and shadow, styling, and directing. As with all my personal projects, I just sort of dream up these ideas and form a vision in my mind, and…
