Have a pre-teen who loves Star Wars AND boats? No problem. Living in the Bay Area certainly has its advantages. Our photo session aligned perfectly with a large ship unloading its cargo onto the dock. We had such a fun time exploring the shoreline. And the gorgeous sunset was the chef’s kiss.

Homemade french toast, Moana songs, an impromptu CrossFit workout, a head collision on the bed, deep breaths, more Moana, sidesplitting laughter, and of course that itty bitty baby with the biggest brown eyes. Love is definitely overflowing here and I can’t imagine a better family to welcome me back into the swing of things. Thank […]

My Mom. So beautiful, so courageous, so stubborn, so strong. She was brave for all of us. I wish that you had known her. I wish that I have known her better. This photograph is my favorite of us and one that I am thankful to have for it was a race against the clock […]

It’s true. I gotta thing for beaches. It’s kinda a prerequisite for living on an island. Luckily, this family loves them as much as I do. It’s their happy place second to Argentina and I’m grateful to capture it for them. Why, I can’t think of a lovelier family to spend a magical, mud-filled sunset. […]

I have to admit that I was pretty nervous approaching this shoot knowing that there would be four boys-three of which are full-fledged teenagers. Why, they’re going to be bigger than me! It turned out that I had nothing to worry about. Their hearts were in proportion to their height and they were probably one […]

I’ve really fallen in love with portrait work. Not headshots per se, but portraits – something more intimate with meaning and depth, and I find myself having a hard time explaining the difference between the two until just recently thanks to my friend, Mark. He’s a remarkable human being, loving father, cancer survivor, baker, bed […]

Happy New Year! We’ve made it out of the dark, entangled woods of yesteryear. Professionally speaking, it’s been a good one. I’ve challenged myself in many ways, yet I stayed true to capturing the sincere, honest moments. I am so very grateful for every beautiful soul that stood in front of my lens and who […]

I know, I know…I’ve been horrible at keeping up with this thing called blogging, but what can I say? It’s been a pretty busy season and I’m incredibly grateful for all my new and returning families. They’ve been truly awesome. Here’s a glimpse of one of my favorite families at Lake Merritt. I just can’t […]

I love this beach. I love this family. I, however, could have done without the “Zombie farts”.  Those of you who visit the shore at low tide (and at this time of year) know exactly what I’m talking about. Thanks, Mother Nature, for always keeping us on our toes.

I immediately had a good feeling about this newborn session by the way this loving (and exhausted) couple greeted me at the door. Stefanie donned what her husband endearingly called “mom hair” and I thought “yeah, these people are as real as any new parents can be with a 1 week old.” We listened to […]
