find your way AROUND

Every year around this time, like most people, I reflect on the past year. I think about what I have done, or didn’t get around to. Goals I have met or didn’t, weight I lost or gained (Grrrr! it’s always gained). This year has been amazing. I feel so lucky that I get to do […]

Jenn and Mark’s fabulous A Girl and A Camera NYC shoot is featured on Rock N’ Roll Bride. I love Rock N’Roll Bride! It’s a great place for the “non traditional” bride to find inspiration. “Rock n Roll Bride promotes individuality and general awesomeness in a cookie cutter, pastel pink, poufy-dressed wedding world. Don’t let […]

The lovely Emily O of the Hotel Rex asked me to help out the other night for an indie craft fair. It was benefiting 826 Valencia, a great program helping kids with writing and helping teachers get kids excited about writing. They offer workshops, tutoring, field trips and of course pirate supplies (???). 7×7 Magazine […]

Muir Woods is a magical place. If you have not been I highly suggest you do go. The trees are amazing and grand. It’s a peaceful place even with 100 tourists running around. Ron and Linda wanted to do their engagement session there and upon meeting them it seemed like the perfect location. They really […]

Kristin is just good people. We had a little “Just Because” Session the other day. It was so nice photographing her and learning about her life. She is a mom and a teacher and she’s very passionate about doing both. Being a mom and a teacher are pretty much both full time jobs, which leaves […]

What can I say-I love Jenn and Mark. They are just a super-cool, down to earth couple. When talking to them we realized Jenn and Mark are the East Cost version of Jeff and I. Jenn’s passion is photography and Mark’s passion is music. I was so excited to shoot in New York when I […]

Jessica and Steven fabulous wedding features on Ever Ours  Thanks to Lydia for the post. 

I have been thinking about where I started, just a girl, a camera and a dream. Along the way there was plenty of self-doubt. There were plenty of people saying you’re not good enough or don’t waste your time. Yes, I listened but never took their advice. You can learn so much from the pitfalls […]

What a great family! We had a fun time shooting in Golden Gate Park. Leaving the house for this shoot reminded me why I love being a photographer. Being outside to enjoy a lovely fall day, creating beautiful things and meeting great people…. and puppies too! Leaf Fight!

Janine and Jeff are in love – anyone who meets them would see this. Another thing they love besides each other? Moxie, their sweet little dog. I spent some time with them the other day at Moxie’s favorite place, Lafayette Park. A gorgeous park in San Francisco. I love the sweetness of this couple not […]
