Cristina (a shoe designer – a girl after my own heart) and Greg are getting married. These college sweethearts are so in love. The day was perfect – that lovely light that makes my heart skip a beat. We hung out amongst the trees in the Presidio where is it quiet and still.  They love […]

When you ask them how they met, it’s a pretty funny story.  Or maybe it’s the way these two tell it.  Chrissie (a Long Islander via San Francisco) met Dave (Austin, Texas-born and raised) on New Year Eve.  It’s a long story but to hear it told by the comedy stylings of Chrissie and Dave […]

Emily and Channing are getting married.  This sweet and fun couple had the idea of doing an engagement session in a boat- I was thrilled. I’m always thinking of new and different places to shoot and in a boat was one of them. Emily and Channing rented a boat for me and my own chauffeur. […]

Melissa from The Loveliest Day loved our Rainy Day Bridal Shoot and wanted to post it on her delicious bridal blog. I read her blog everyday. It’s filled with everything bridal and lovely!

Brittany and Steve are getting married this year. Before they go on their big adventure as man and wife they had a little adventure of moving over 2000 miles away from home together. They met and fell in love back east but jobs brought them west. Living here is hard sometimes because of who they […]

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 […]

“The key to change is to let go of fear” -Roseanne Cash Welcome to my new blog and website!   I am so excited. I love change and unfortunately I don’t think I do it enough. There are so many reasons for not changing – one of them is fear! I think about cutting my hair […]
