I absolutely loved working with Shelley and Anthony for their gorgeous engagement session on Mount Tamalpais. Anthony spends every weekend biking long distances in the area, and they were able to scout out some amazing locations for us to explore on our shoot. Stunning all around.

San Francisco Ferry Building. General Store. Outerlands. Old Town, Oakland. Two Sisters Bar and Books. Trouble Coffee, West Oakland. Charm Villa goldfish tea from Taiwan!…
This was such a sweet idea for a 40th anniversary. Everyone was in town for Thanksgiving, so we gathered at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco for some portraits of the whole Yam family. The four in the middle are the original Yams, with their spouses and 3-year-old Ayla too. So fun! Such a wonderful…
On a lovely October day, I gathered a couple of my friends for a little hike around San Francisco. We started at Lover’s Point in the Presidio and wandered our way over to Ocean Beach. So many gorgeous sights to see. Dan, me, Tiffany, and Paul. Move here soon, Tiffany! Sneaking in two photos from Mt….

Two mini adventures with Duke friends around the Bay. One: Point Reyes, a tree tunnel, and an abandoned ship. Two: A hike up Panoramic Hill with views as lovely as promised. Debo, Dan, and I headed up to North Bay. Our first stop: Point Reyes lighthouse. Next, we went to visit this awesome tree tunnel! …
Welcome to my latest 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 then…
We drove through the winding hills, ascending past ambitious bicyclists and sweeping views. It took over an hour to reach our destination right in the middle of Mt. Tampalpais, and it was absolutely worth the trek. Daisy and Sam were treated to beautiful sunshine and a perfectly warm day, and I absolutely love so many…
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…
When you head out of San Francisco on the Golden Gate Bridge, driving northward under the iconic International Orange towers, you cross into a decidedly different peninsula. The first stretch is undeveloped hills, and then through a tunnel and off to the right, you can visit the town of Sausalito, a posh little area lined…
We drove an hour out of the city to this oasis at Mt. Tam for Caterina and John’s engagement session. They both love hiking and triathalon (in their free time from training to be doctors), so the beautiful trails of Mt. Tam hold a special place in their hearts. The light was amazing on this…
It was Sunday evening when I met Amy and David in the rolling hills of the Marin Headlands for their engagement session. The clouds lingered in the sky and flooded the landscape, creating a beautiful air of serenity over the space. We roamed around the bunkers and barracks and got to celebrate love in these…
