I’ve been told my Facebook is kind of hilarious, so I thought I’d post some of my latest and greatest posts as a Monday pick-me-up! Enjoy…   .

It’s no secret that I come from a long line of Crazy. Here I am with my mom and my Nonnie, three generations of nuts. My mom and I had amazing times shopping in San Francisco, rain or shine. It was a day-long fashion show, and even when I was an adult she bought me […]

Pregnancy is such a beautiful and wonderful thing. When I found out my dear friend Desiree was pregnant again, I was immediately excited to hold her new baby! We had so much fun taking these photos. We played dress-up and I did her hair and makeup. I’m so blessed to have a job that makes […]

Last night at midnight I did my first session for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. A little baby girl didn’t make it and I was let in to her family’s lives to capture moments. When I got home I made this video because I couldn’t put on paper what I was feeling. This […]

We were on the streets of San Francisco, in colorful, interesting North Beach. Specifically, we were in an ally by City Light Books, up against a multi-media mural of wine labels and paint. And Earl was like a cardboard cutout. (It’s okay, he knows he’s awkward in front of a camera.) From behind my camera […]

Yes, we absolutely love photographing Vow Renewals! They’re always extra special because the couple has years of deep love and commitment between them. We treat a Vow Renewal like a wedding, photographing all the events, details, and personality of the day. For a Vow Renewal, we always encourage a First Look so we can do […]

After much preparation (ten days), and multiple obstacles (driving two hours to an unknown location, sinking in the snow, makeup coming off, freezing half to death), the infamous Ice Queen shoot has come to fruition! This shoot was entirely shot with film and available light. I feel incredibly accomplished – this is my first shoot […]

I had the privilege of doing Janet and Jose’s baby bump photos (which you can see HERE), and I fell in love with this couple. They are a genuinely sweet couple who clearly love each other madly. Monday I got to meet baby Emma, their sweet little daughter. Enjoy her cuteness!

I am so grateful to be blessed with my fabulous clients. Many times, I get to share in their wedding day, celebrate their pregnancy, then photograph their beautiful babies. I have so much fun with my peeps that it doesn’t even feel like work! Allison and Tyler are long-time clients that we’ve really enjoyed working […]

This shoot was an adventure. It started out with a concept: Alice sleeps and dreams of her wedding. Then it changed, like all creative shoots do, and took on a life of its own. I had a concept and most of my props, but I didn’t have wardrobe. I made the headdress (a sculptural, modern […]

I have to admit, I would never be where I am as a photographer and a businesswoman without my husband. Although I have been photographing people long before I knew Mark, I was scared to really GO FOR IT until after we were married and he supported me all the way. Throughout the years, there […]
