find your way AROUND

I have had this idea swimming in my head for a while.  What would it be like to grab my favorite vendors and do a “faux” wedding?  Planning it was not easy. I have a whole new appreciation of what my brides and grooms go through.  Every time we would plan a day it would […]

You ever miss someone so bad? I  have… Jeff will go somewhere for a week and at first – okay it’s kinda nice. Things are where I left them or I can watch bad TV… and nobody is hogging up the whole bed (that would be me). Then it feels like something is missing, the […]

Every time I get a pedi, I have a little ritual. It starts with an iced latte. Then picking the color – always red of some shade. After that is magazine selection. Usually it’s a People or a Vogue and always a 7×7. 7×7 is a beautiful local San Francisco magazine. It has everything from […]

Zach and Mariela are just super sweet and in LOVE. We took a walk in gorgeous Golden Gate Park. We talked about music and how they met in a bar. Just like Jeff and I. Now this September they are getting married.  How cute are her boots!? Check out some shots from their engagement session. 

“It comes down to reality And it’s fine with me ’cause I’ve let it slide Don’t care if it’s Chinatown or on Riverside I don’t have any reasons I’ve left them all behind I’m in a New York state of mind”-Billy Joel I am a person of extremes. I long for the energy of a […]

This was one of those shoots when I knew the images would be great. The reason – Lisa and Ali. Especially Ali. Lisa is a gorgeous (love those curls) laid-back mom and Ali is her so-incredibly-cute and full-of-personality son. Yes, they are adorable but more importantly what I saw was how much Lisa adores her […]
