If you live in the Bay Area, you know that weather in January, especially at the beach, is pretty unpredictable (you know, as far as California beaches go). It could be 90 degrees and sunny inland and 60 and overcast on the coast. Or vice...
One of my (many many, far too many) goals for this year is to write more. This means journaling and creative writing, as well as writing more on this blog. Sometimes there are so many photos to share that I get caught up in sharing...
Haaapppy New Year everyone! I have had such a full season that I am still just getting my head straight - I have so many things I want to share! But FIRST before anything else, I want to announce that I am now offering Studio...
The weather leading up to Stephanie and Nate's wedding (my last one this year!) was precarious. It was looking cold, and every time I checked the weather, the likelihood of rain increased. 50%, 70%, 90%. When we did the walk through with them and Nancy...
I don't know that "milkbath" is an accurate description of this shoot, but "badass business owner mermaids" would have been too long to fit in the title :). Anna and Melanie co-own VRV3 Studios - Pole Dance and Fitness in San Francisco. I was so...
Mallory and Mike's wedding day started as they often do - with them getting ready with their closest friends and family members. They each sent each other gifts, and it was hard not to get emotional as they opened them and read each other's notes....
When Carly and Jesse first reached out to me last year, I knew off the bat that we were going to get along (and I was so so right). They are so joyful, full of life, and so in love, that I just couldn't wait...
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I get to share Ana Maria and Lucas's adorable San Jose engagement shoot. After some back and forth and trying on different ideas, we decided to do their engagement shoot in two parts. First, we went down the Guadalupe river trail...
I first met Becca and Sam over a year ago when they were visiting from the East Coast. We talked a lot about their wedding plans - how they wanted to intertwine Jewish wedding traditions into their otherwise nontraditional world views - and I was...
I have been *loving* having my clients answer some questions about their shoots ( of course, it's extra nice when they are so sweet :D ). Here is what Alie thought about her milk bath portrait, in her own words (and of course images of...
Stephanie and I tossed a bunch of different ideas back and forth for her and Nate's engagement session, but many of them were tough to reach on a weekday evening after work. Enter Saratoga! I had never done an engagement session there before, so it...
Margie and Dan are trying to visit all of the National Parks in the U.S., and since they got engaged at one, the figured having their photo shoot at one would be fitting. Pinnacles National Park was next on their list, and this worked out...
I had such a sweet time working wish Anisha, and I am so glad she was willing to share a bit about her experience with my milkbath portrait (or flowerbath) shoots! Read all about it below :). -------------------------------------- 1) Why did you decide to do this type...
Kaitlynn and Kevin met in high school and have been inseparable since. In spite of having been together for a long while, their love still struck me as uniquely sweet and bright. "Young love" at it's best, even after many years. On their wedding day...
Kaitlin and Josh met when they were both students at UCSD. They are the classic friends-who-fell-in-love story :). Once they figured it out, they haven't been apart since. Fast forward several years and degrees, and they are tying the knot next year in San Diego!...
