It was wonderful to meet Erin and Duc, for their engagement session over at Land’s End and Sutro Baths. Thanks to the Monday session, we had the place virtually to ourselves, and we also got lucky with the most beautiful golden hour light. See a few of my favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding…
Channel Islands was the eighth out of California’s nine national parks that I’ve been lucky enough to visit. Armed with our newfound immunity, we planned a road trip in June down to Southern California, where we could take a ferry out to the islands. There are actually five channel islands, and we visited just a…
Kylen and Charlie met when Kylen was anchoring the news and Charlie was anchoring sports at a TV channel in Lexington, Kentucky. They started off as friends, but a New Year’s kiss sealed their fates as something more. They’ve now moved to California together, where they’re both anchoring sports, and we celebrated their engagement with…
I met J & D for their engagement session on a blustery day when Karl the Fog was out in full force. But they were such good sports, and they braved the wind for these beautiful portraits at Baker Beach and Crissy Field, a classic San Francisco session. See a few of my favorites below:…
I loved meeting Carolyn and Cynthia, two amazing women from NYC who have absolutely fallen in love with each other and are now the counterbalances in one another’s lives. Carolyn is a bit more serious, and Cynthia gregarious and fun-loving. But they are constantly laughing together and marveling over how lucky they are to have…
We unknowingly chose the warmest day of the year so far for Alyssa and Mark’s engagement session, but we dodged the crowds to capture these beautiful sun-kissed engagement portraits. And we even got some extra local flavor in one of the shots, as you’ll see below. :) Congrats, Alyssa & Mark! Looking forward to your…
This session came together in a matter of days. Misoo and Damien live in New York, but with Misoo visiting home for the new year and Damien in town for work, we embraced the gorgeous California coast for a sunset session. The gorgeous couple, stunning light, and beautiful scenery all came together to make magic….
It was a last-minute idea that just came to mind while I was driving home on the 30th of December, and just as quickly, it turned into solid travel plans for the next day. Instead of seeking out a fancy New Year’s Eve celebration or watching fireworks, I booked a stay at a farm off…
Elizabeth had just graduated from college and decided to take a gap year before grad school in order to go on a grand backpacking trip around Europe with her friends. In order to save up for the trip, she picked up some odd jobs, one of which happened to be in a small post office…
Evangel was a regular at the Pigeon Point Lighthouse when she was little, because her father had a key to the lighthouse! Not everyone gets such special treatment in this beautiful place, but it was thanks to her father’s position in the US Coast Guard. It seemed like the perfect place to bring her fiance…
Clara and Aaron are two sweet souls, warm with each other and their families. When they planned to get married, they decided to keep it simple, with just a few friends and family. They traveled to California from Berlin, Germany, where they live, and were wed in a lovely little park by the Bay, with…
Sophia is brilliant, talks a mile a minute, remembers everyone she’s ever met, is busy saving the world, and salsa dances in her free time. It’s very difficult to keep up with her, but somehow she’s met her match in Terrence. He’s the doctor to her (former) lawyer, completely social media-less while Sophia is compulsively…
