These boudoir weekends are, without a doubt, a highlight of each year. This time around, women joined us to celebrate turning 30; to celebrate their body after having babies; to celebrate their relationships; and to celebrate themselves. When vulnerability, empowerment, and natural light come together, the result is beautiful. With permission from a few of […]

I’ve been photographing people for 9 years now and feel pretty settled in my ways. I’m no longer anxious before sessions or nervous before weddings. I’m comfortable. But comfortable doesn’t necessarily create the most provoking art. Lately I’ve been craving that feeling of intimidation when you try something unfamiliar; craving anything new and different. So […]

Stephanie and Anthony’s wedding played out like a highlight reel of the best parts of Sacramento. Stephanie got ready at a bright and airy Airbnb just outside of midtown; Anthony at the Kimpton Sawyer hotel. They said their vows in a beautiful Catholic ceremony at the Holy Spirit Church. After, we hopped over to the […]

Nothing says “romantic” quite like a chilly winter day; like hundreds of candles burning in the dark; like sneaking away for tea minutes after you say “I do”; like Christine and Brandon’s wedding. Every last detail was soft and warm, from the pastel pink invitations to the deep green florals that Christine STYLED HERSELF. This […]

Victor + Josh’s wedding was special for quite a few reasons. 1) I married my husband at the same venue 4 years ago. To be back in the same spot, watching another two people say their vows under the same alter, was magical. 2) Christina was my second shooter this night, and together we photographed […]

I’ve been photographing weddings for quite a while now, and I must say I’ve consistently been blessed with the most easygoing, down to earth couples. But Lyndsey and Sean might have topped them all. Nothing phased them – not getting locked out of their venue, not pushing the rehearsal to just hours before the actual […]

Some sessions leave me with even more creative energy than I go into them with, and Ashley and Alex’s engagement did just that. I’m not sure if it was being immersed in a part of San Francisco I hadn’t yet explored, or the way Ashley’s outfits contrasted each location, or the fact that champagne was […]

My oldest baby turns seven today. Last night, we snuck out on an adventure. Just the two of us, away from the little ones who made him a brother and stole two thirds of the attention he once had to himself. I let him lead the way. He dipped his toes in the lake for a […]

Locations like this one – the Rancho San Antonio preserve in Cupertino – are the reason I find myself working in the Bay more often than my local spots these days. It requires 2 hours in the car each way, but that drive is a small price to pay for backdrops like these.  And of […]
