Alexis & Frank | San Francisco Anniversary Photography
It was so wonderful to spend some time with Alexis and Frank in a city that has been so meaningful to their relationship. These two met in their office– a unique, floating office– as they are both Navy officers and worked together on their first ship out of San Diego. Friendship led to dating, and…

Tidal Basin at Dawn | Pointe of View
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. We started the day at 4am with hair and makeup and then took a cab at 6am to the famous Tidal Basin of D.C., encircled with its monuments and the beautiful Japanese cherry blossoms that grace the area with their fleeting pink puffs…

Yijin | Washington, D.C. Portrait Photography
I had the pleasure of meeting Yijin in Washington, D.C. when I traveled there for my ballerina shoots.

Her sister gifted her…

Caterina & John | Tamalpais | Bay Area Engagement Photography
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…

The Survivor Tree | Reflecting on 9/11 and the Boston Marathon Bombings
From this morning’s visit to the 9/11 Memorial in New York City to this afternoon’s news of the Boston Marathon explosions, I have felt as if someone has tied a string around my heart and been tugging at it insistently, testing my capacity for tragedy and pulling me out of the surreal luxuries of my own life….
