For the fifth time this year (since the beginning of 2014), we are featured on Style Me Pretty! Deirdre and Damien’s “how they met” story is the funniest. Read it all in the link below. View full post and gallery here: Style Me Pretty: San Francisco Engagement
Edit: This giveaway is now closed. Winners will be announced on March 1, 2014. I am thrilled to announce a Same-Sex Wedding Giveaway, coast to coast, open to both San Francisco (my home base) and New York City. This project has been in the back of my mind for a very long time now. I’ve…
I just love getting these leather wedding albums when they arrive in the mail. They are just so beautifully crafted, and I can imagine generations down the line leafing through these pages of their parents’ or their grandparents’ love story. Caterina and John chose a beautiful navy blue color for their album, and of course…
When my friend Howard gifted this portrait session to his sister, I was first surprised to learn that he had a sister and then surprised to learn that she lives right here in Oakland, no more than five minutes from me! It took quite a while to schedule the shoot with Cindy and her boyfriend…
We stood facing the sunset with the soothing sounds of the ocean crashing against a coastline lit up in vibrant hues. It was everything I loved most about the California Coast: our strange but beautiful sense of the seasons (autumn at the end of November); the color tinting our succulents rather than deciduous trees; the…
Pointe of View is now available in form! The calendar comes as a set of twelve 4×8″ cards, each featuring a ballerina photograph from the Pointe of View series and a clean, modern calendar design. It’s a stylish set, beautiful as art on the wall or stacked as a desk calendar. They come wrapped and gift-ready…
When you head out of San Francisco on the Golden Gate Bridge, driving northward under the iconic International Orange towers, you cross into a decidedly different peninsula. The first stretch is undeveloped hills, and then through a tunnel and off to the right, you can visit the town of Sausalito, a posh little area lined…
I absolutely love seeing weddings in print form, and these heirloom leather albums are the perfect way to capture the story for generations to come. Gemma and Kevin’s album is a lovely “coffee bean” leather in an 8×8″ size. In the leaves, amongst the leaves. Each book is expertly crafted with bindings that will last…
Yali is quiet, genuine, caring, while Sriram is laid-back, more outgoing, and always able to make her laugh. When they met at work, they found balance and a place in each other’s hearts. I met these two on a sunny but windy-cold day in San Francisco for some engagement photos by the Legion of Honor…
Courtney and Nick are so down to earth and a joy to be around. We met up in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and roamed around, making stops in the Japanese Tea Garden, where they went on the day of Nick’s proposal, and around the Conservatory of Flowers as well. It was an incredibly foggy…
I don’t do family portraits all that often, but this one was a special gift from my friend Nancy to her sister-in-law’s family, and it was so fun. We met up in South Bay at Shoreline Park. The weather was perfect with just a touch of California autumn; little Hunter was just a bundle of…
Julie and Jeremy’s proposal story, as told by them: Jeremy proposed to Julie exactly on their three year anniversary in front of the Golden Gate Bridge (this is where they first asked each other out!). Julie sleeps in on weekends, so Jeremy woke up early and frantically checked the weather all morning on public webcams…
