It was an unexpected year, to say the least. But still, second by second, we got through it. From the surprisingly “normal” times pre-pandemic through the endless days of quarantine, here is a look back at the year, one second at a time. For previous years, see 2019, 2018, and 2017.

We have been all about the California road trip this year. A couple months ago, we headed south, about three hours south of San Francisco, to Paso Robles and the surrounding Central Coast areas. It made for a wonderful long weekend excursion. Our first stop was Bruce Munro’s Field of Light at Sensorio. It’s a…

It felt like we were pretty settled in to pandemic life in October. We focused most of our energies on sprucing up our home and rotating between the three places we have around the Bay in San Francisco, Cupertino, and Oakland. One of the biggest developments was that our furniture that we ordered back on…
I am absolutely delighted to share this family session today. I photographed Bridgette and Ryan’s engagement and wedding seven years ago, and they reached back out this year to photograph their family and their six-month-old baby girl! She has the best smile and was such a joy to photograph. See some highlights below! Nomnomnom hair!…
This was such a fun little proposal, complete with a musical performance by the two grooms-to-be, backgrounded by the golden gate bridge. Nigel’s plan was to tell Ritchie they would dress up and meet their friends in the park to play some music. Of course, this being a pandemic and the whole premise being completely…

It’s such a joy to photograph my past wedding clients as they become parents! I met up with S & H at Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland for some family portraits with baby H too. Such a beautiful, sunny day and a wonderful reprieve from the smoky skies of last month. Baby H is really…
