This portrait session goes down as one of the great lessons learned - always be ready and never give up. Saturday started off as crazy rainy day in San Francisco. Dark, blustery and definitely not a day for a family portrait session. The Laffan Family lives right in the middle of the Mission … Continue Reading →
Myles in the Mission – Classic San Francisco Portrait Session
Heather and Greg’s San Francisco Engagement Photographs
Today I saw something that I don't see everyday in San Francisco - a new view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Do enough engagement sessions on Baker Beach and Family portraits from Crissy Field and you think you have seen the bridge in all ways possible. But today I saw something new. I was … Continue Reading →
Sam and Mike’s Engagement Photo Shoot
Well if rain on your wedding day means good luck, I'm going to assume that rain during your engagement photo session means extremely good luck. And if normal rain means extremely good luck, then Sam and Mike have set themselves up for a freaking fabulous marriage because it was down pore on … Continue Reading →
Doc Oliver’s First Birthday Party
On Saturday, I got to spend the morning with the Tran Family and 20 or so of their friends to celebrate little Oliver's first birthday. We met for a Korean brunch at the Seoul Garden in Kabuki Shopping mall. Oliver was there with his sister Shea and his parent's Amy and Owen. Oliver was all … Continue Reading →
Suzanne and Matt at Sutro Baths
I can only imagine their conversation on the way to meet me. Suzanne - "I have a surprise for you" Matt - "Cool" Suzanne - "You're going to like it" Matt - "Great" (now getting worried) Suzanne - "we are going to San Francisco to get photo's taken of us" Matt - [silence] Suzanne - "It's … Continue Reading →
Liana and Ethan’s Engagement Session at the Ferry Building
I met Ethan and Liana on a grey cold day in San Francisco for their engagement session. A lesser couple may have thrown in the towel but they went for it. Have to love seeing people that are willing to go forward when there are many good reasons not to. Have to believe that gumption is a good … Continue Reading →
Rachel and Alex Maternity Session
I am really starting to love maternity sessions. I love the excitement and nervous energy that everyone (myself included) is feeling. It's just all so crazy. But what I see in amid all that uncertainty is the love and tenderness from and for everyone involved. There is just nothing like … Continue Reading →
Loads of Laughs in Laura and Cameron’s Engagement Photos
As the photographer, I get to see the many, many out outtakes that don't make the cut from any engagement or portrait session. Generally I'll take 300-500 pictures then deliver 25-40 to the family/couple. But even if a picture is off for some reason (out of focus, something distracting in the … Continue Reading →
J and J Valentine’s Day Portait Session

J surprised her boyfriend J with sunset portrait session and I have … Continue Reading →
Caroline and Paul Engagement Session
Truth be told, this was not the best day. Cloudy with drizzling rain at Baker beach and clients that were tired from being stuck in Friday night San Francisco traffic and literally sick. Caroline and Paul were troopers and gave it a go but sometimes as the great Kenny Rogers said "you got to … Continue Reading →
