This is now my sixth time photographing Dan and Jeri, and I must say that every session is my new favorite session with them….

While we were on our lovely farm stay at Vernon Street Farm this fall, Alex and I and made a little day trip over to Cooperstown, New York. If you’ve heard of Cooperstown, it’s likely you are a baseball fan or know someone who is, because it is home of the National Baseball Hall of…
After a couple days in Manhattan, Alex and I met up with our friends and boarded a train from the brand new Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station. We headed northward for two hours and arrived at Hudson Station for the farm portion of our New York trip. Our good friends Do-Hee and Josh had …
Alex and I spent almost two weeks of September in New York, and we just happened to catch the transition from summer into fall. Of course it would have been nice to know that would happen before we left, because we had zero rain-appropriate clothing, but alas. We still had such a wonderful time, both…
At the end of November, Alex and I spent two wonderful weeks driving down south, staying in Monterey, Los Alamos, and then Alhambra for a week. First, a little stop in Santa Cruz. There was a cute little street market in downtown Monterey, near our historic hotel where we checked in for two nights. The…
What a whirlwind it’s been since the end of last year. I’m circling back now to recap the last two months of 2022. We start it off with a 100-day celebration for Baby Valente! In November, we had such a beautiful engagement session, and we pulled together all the details for our December ceremony too. …
Let’s take a peek back at October of last year. Better late than never? We started off with a visit to Reeve in Healdsburg.

Christina and Andrew first met through Andrew’s aunt, Christina’s coworker, and they remained friends for a while until Andrew asked Christina to attend a wedding as his plus one. And now here they were, at their very own wedding, making it official as they joined their two families into one. The two were wed on…
This big family is truly such a delight to photograph, because no matter how chaotic seven children running freely might actually be in real life, somehow the images show only the joy and love that exists amongst each of these wonderful people. It’s also very fun to look back at the last session we all…
September! I’m a bit behind on the personal posts, since I haven’t finished sharing the rest of our grand Midwest baseball tour, but I’ll just sneak in this Bay Area post from September and catch up on the rest later! First, back in the Bay and at the baseball stadium, but not for baseball! It’s…
Anna and Tim’s love story has taken them all over, from the Midwest where they met to Anna’s home state of Texas, and now to Tim’s home state of California. On a beautiful afternoon, we headed up to Mt. Tam for their engagement session. A lovely way to embrace their new home and this next…
