“Dwell in possibility”- Emily Dickinson I am a big fan of “the list” ! There is nothing more satisfying than crossing off or checking an accomplished task.  With the New Year here everyone has their resolutions. Sure I could make a resolution to use that gym membership I have been paying for, or maybe not […]

Jennifer and Robert’s wedding took place at Fairyland by Lake Merritt in Oakland. It was a magical place I went to as a kid and I remember it fondly. It was fun to come back and experience the magic in a whole new way – by photographing a wedding!  Such a fun backdrop to such a […]

Barbados is pretty much one of the best places on earth. The air is warm, the water is hypnotic with shades of blues and greens, and you just can’t help but feel happy here.  It might be the rum punch but I am pretty sure it’s this island.  Chrissie and Dave felt the same way […]

  As I frantically searched the internet for it, my heart was pounding. I was so mad and – let’s face it – I get a little obsessed!  There it was… my image, one of my most beloved images had been used in a blog and not just one blog, but it was used 446 […]

Since I was on an island on Halloween this shoot didn’t get posted in time.  I had to pleasure to collaborate with some talent people for this shoot. It was a fall wedding inspired shoot with a little Halloween thrown in. It was a lot of fun and even the rain didn’t stop us. Photography: […]

Our Fall Halloween Shoot ( coming soon ) was featured on Styled Unveiled!  

  Lisa and Adam are not only lucky to have each other but they are also fortunate to have such amazing people in their lives. This was so evident at their gorgeous “Mad Hatter-styled” wedding at Viansa Vineyards. This day was so special and there were so many great details from the custom tux worn […]

  Dana and John make me smile.  Maybe it’s that Dana and John did a pinkie swear during their vows, or maybe it’s the s’mores Bar at the reception or the sparklers at the end of the night.  All these things show that they know how to have fun. That’s how they are with each […]
