I’ve brought back my Portrait Parties! This was the third party in the series after a long hiatus from last year. The idea is very simple: I gather a small group of people, we throw ourselves a little party, and I take portraits of everyone. Each participant contributes to the party too, and we all get to connect…
I loved exploring the north side of the Golden Gate with Liz and Ryan on their engagement session. We hiked up to Battery Spencer and down to Kirby Cove, with varied scenes and an abundance of beautiful sights all along the way. See a few of my favorites below! Anna Wu is a wedding and…
This industry sure knows how to throw itself a party! I was thrilled when The Pearl asked me to photograph their inaugural showcase last week. The Pearl is a beautiful new venue in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco. It’s been open just under a year and is full of distinctive artwork from artist Alexis Laurent. I…
I love getting to kick off each new year with a little gathering of my friends as I indulge in a bit of a birthday celebration. Last year, we took a pottery class, while the year before, we threw a swanky party in the garden at my studio. This year, I riffed on the crafting theme as…
Shirin and Eric first met at SantaCon five years ago (with her dressed as Ms. Gingerbread and he as Super Santa), so Christmas is one of their favorite times of year. For the proposal, Eric wanted to pay tribute to Shirin’s old tradition of creating fairytale books for her family, so he taught himself how…
Angie and Jason met in the traditional way: online. Angie caught Jason’s eye while he was on vacation in Peru, since her profile stated that she had also been there. Meanwhile, Angie’s whole profile was set up by her friend, and he was the one who told her to go out with Jason because he…
I’ll follow you to the ends of the earth… I met Maxine and Justin on a chilly (yet deceptively sunny) day in San Francisco for their engagement session at Sutro Baths. I absolutely loved photographing her bright red gown against the beautiful landscape. See some of my favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait…
It had been sunny all weekend, but the fog rolled in just as we started our session, and the Golden Gate Bridge was nowhere to be seen. Sarah and Nathan didn’t even care. True San Franciscans, they chalked it up to normal conditions, and we carried on with our foggy, moody, absolutely beautiful engagement session….
Laura grew up in Los Angeles; Steve grew up in New York; and they both landed in San Francisco, where they met, fell in love, and pledged to stay together forever. Day to day, she might be busy saving lives as a doctor while he is working his serious office job in tech, but put them together, and you’ll start to see their silly…
I met up with Caila Quinn on a Thursday and showed her a couple of my favorite spots in San Francisco. We talked about family, love, how she ended up on The Bachelor, her plans for the future, and her hair secrets (just kidding; she didn’t tell me anything, but I can vouch for its…
Blog followers might recognize Bethany and Bryan from their super sweet proposal by the Golden Gate Bridge back in April. In the few months that have passed, Bethany has moved from Kentucky to join Bryan in San Francisco, ending years of long distance, and they’ve both settled in to their new lives together. I was thrilled to get…
It’s hard to believe it’s already been five years since Mayline and Kenneth were wed in Virginia. It’s been wonderful to keep in touch over the years; Mayline has since started her own wedding photography business, and Kenneth is an incredible web developer who has rescued me out of many a wordpress pickle. Since they were both…
