I loved meeting up with Yannie and Howard and their little dog Foxy in their neighborhood park for this beautiful engagement session. It’s always fun for me to explore a new spot, and it’s always more meaningful if the couple picks a location that has some personal significance to them! See some of my favorites…

The Presidio is such a special area in San Francisco. It’s a national park spanning the northwestern corner of the city, and it comprises woods, beach, nature trails, and several gorgeous wedding venues.

It’s time for December’s recap! So much holiday cheer, a Lean In retreat, and this post doesn’t even include our trips to Maui, Oahu, and Redwood National Park, all of which will come in future posts (hopefully soon-ish). We kick it off with our monthly Office of Accountability meeting, hosted in Meg’s wonderfully decorated apartment,…
This was such a beautiful and soul-affirming session. V had never considered doing a boudoir session, thinking she would never be interested in taking such revealing photos. But I am so happy that she saw a boudoir session on my website that changed her mind completely about what boudoir can be. Far from being scandalous,…

Catherine is a freelance singer based in Sacramento, and she reached out to me to photograph some new portraits and headshots for her auditions and promo materials.

Parul and Yogi first met through a mutual friend. As the friend stepped away on a phone call, the two began talking. From the start, Parul noticed Yogi’s sense of curiosity and Yogi noticed how wonderful and caring Parul is. They’ve been together for over six years since. In advance of their big wedding in…
Let’s take a look back at October: a month filled with delicious meals, lovely gatherings, and a pumpkin patch! First off, I had a meeting with a team at Pinterest! Here’s a view of SF from their roof deck. Working on my Pinfluencer ambitions… Dinner at Besharam. I got to host this month’s Office of…
High in the hills, overlooking Malibu, the four of us marveled at our surroundings. What a stunning place to be wed. None of us were from the area– the three of them having come from Chicago and me from the Bay Area– but so many threads had pulled together for us to be there in…
The months just keep flying by. It’s time for a recap of September! We start with a business meeting / friends’ outing! First I met with Dan and Jeri for brunch at Grand Lake Kitchen Dimond District in Oakland… we’ve officially booked their wedding for 2020! And then we headed to Alameda for a visit…
Alexandria and Tom met as juniors at UC Berkeley when they took a film class about monster movies together. They’ve lived together in Berkeley for the decade ever since.
