Prepare yourselves for cuteness overload! I was invited to photograph little Deion’s second birthday party a couple weeks ago, and I had a great time wandering around with all the little toddlers. The birthday party was held at Joanna and Ray’s downtown San Francisco home with all these amazing views. Joanna and Ray with the…
You might never guess that their paths would cross. She, the little girl from Japan with a sweetness and sincerity about her and a knack for helping others and he, the little boy from Rwanda with a huge heart and a profound passion for community. Namiko grew up and found herself doing an internship at…
Before we even begin, please take a couple minutes to watch the highlight film created by our sister company, Seaglass Cinema. It captures the day beautifully! Ragini and Brandon | 07.02.11 from Seaglass Cinema on Vimeo. The easiest, most obvious thing to say about Ragini and Brandon is that they are both incredibly brilliant. You could even say…
It was extreme croquet and homemade soap that joined them together. But mostly the soap. He had you at the transesterification reaction! Long story short, they were inside having tea after a game of extreme croquet (crazy wicket placement!) when the fact that Ryan’s family makes their own soap came up in conversation. This otherwise…
Today’s post is a bit of a collaboration. I had the absolute pleasure of working with some amazing wedding vendors to create a beautiful styled shoot a couple of months ago, and we’re excited to share it here. Read on for part one of a three part series co-hosted by my fellow collaborators. Where do…
I have long coveted the beautiful look of letterpress. The paper has a beautiful, textured impression that can be felt by the fingertips. It looks so special and precious amidst our shiny, mass-distribution digital world. Letterpress is an old mechanical process involving giant finnicky old printing presses and plenty of manual labor (yes, you actually…
They have lovingly been dubbed the Duke and the Duchess, after Colin’s last name Duke. On a sunny day in June, they were married in a beautiful celebration with just the right amount of elegance and romance befitting their royal titles. The day comprised an array of beautiful settings in Geyserville, Santa Rosa, and Healdsburg,…
Raquel and Andy’s engagement guest book just arrived in the mail last week, and it came out beautifully! I love seeing my work in print, and I can’t wait to see this book in action at their wedding in the fall. Here are just two of the many adorable spreads, with some blank spaces for…
I drove past the house on accident and pulled over to turn around. A beautiful deer paused right next to me, gauging whether to resume eating leaves or run away. It eventually ran away. Later, going back up the road, a small pack of wild turkeys ran zig-zagging across the road as if they were having the…
If you’ve already seen part one of this amazing wedding, you’re probably ready to jump into part two, so here goes! We kick it off with some portraits of the gorgeous couple at the Tubac Golf Resort in Arizona. After these quick portraits, Evy changed into her second wedding dress. A bit of backstory– her…
I awoke in the Korys’ beautiful home in Nogales, Arizona, to the backyard views that stretched across the hilly desert horizon. In the other wing of the house, Mrs. Kory was bustling around with preparations, getting ready for her daughter to come back from the salon. It was June 4th, a day that was already…
I have been slowly creating a new set of packaging for my photography business. I wanted something beautiful yet simple. I paired the turquoise in my logo with natural kraft tones, and I quite like the overall look that I ended up with. First up, my half-sized kraft pocket folders. This one was stamped with…
