Amber and Abram were so excited for their engagement shoot!  I love it when my couples are excited as I am.  We hung out in Golden Gate park one afternoon by the Conservatory of Flowers.  I have a feeling this couple laughs all the time. They were cracking me up! Abram is always making Amber […]

I heard the most beautiful story the other day. It was the story of how Sedona got her name. It goes a little like this: Makani and Donovan were having a baby – a girl. It was a home birth. Donavan had the honor of naming her. The birth went great but with the name […]

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 […]

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 […]
