I’ll be one of the few wedding photographers to say this: no, having a second photographer on your wedding day is not always necessary. Some will disagree, but that’s my honest opinion. The purpose of a second photographer is to cover parts of a wedding day that would be missed by the main photographer. I’ve photographed 75% of my weddings alone without issues. With the right amount of communication, planning, and expectation, one photographer is capable of documenting a wedding well. However, not every wedding is the same. It all depends on what your wedding day will look like. Below are 5 ..read more

PICTURED ABOVE: TIBURON I cannot believe I am typing this: booking for my San Francisco Bay Area Fall Mini Sessions is officially open! It feels like it was only a couple of months ago when I was driving all around the Bay Area, photographing dozens of families and couples. Time flies when you’re busy and having fun. This year, Fall Mini Sessions will be coming to two new locations: Ocean Beach and Cavallo Point. Both locations are unique, and beautiful. And, let’s be honest, they’re both pretty windy—so keep that in mind while booking. If you see a location or date that works, do book soon ..read more

Half Moon Bay location pictured above. The longer I offer Spring Mini Sessions in the Bay Area, the faster they seem to come around. This will be my 8th (yes, 8th) year offering mini sessions. It feels like it was only yesterday when I offered my sold-out Fall Mini Sessions all over the Bay Area. I’ll be honest, I was burnt out after this last fall season. I took the entire month of January to recharge and am ready for my spring offerings! I have a feeling these year’s locations will be the best ever because of all the rain. I’m imagining lots of green, tall grass and fully bloomed luscious ..read more

  For the record, these gorgeous family photos were taken in the South Bay Area near Santa Clara, CA. Not Italy. Just saying because looks can be deceiving. We took these photos at the tail end of a weeklong heatwave in the Bay Area. It was hot, but this family was a trooper. Especially their baby girl who had all the energy in the world. Definitely big sister energy with her. A little backstory: I first met this family about 3 years ago when they were pregnant with their first daughter—who you’ll see pictured here. Can’t tell you how special it was so see them again to celebrate their la ..read more

I’ve photographed a couple of weddings at The Pelican Inn before. However, this wedding was by far my favorite at this wedding venue and of my entire 2022. Alex and Molly’s wedding was intimate, simply and very tasteful. Besides the carefully thought out details, this bride and groom was every photographer’s dream ..read more

    I might be one of the few family photographers in the Bay Area to say this, but I really do enjoy Fall Mini Sessions. Yes, they are fast paced and a lot of work, but they’re also a ton of fun. I love meeting several families in one day. I love helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera and making the experience a breeze. Most of all, I love being a tiny part in people’s lives and connecting. My biggest reward is seeing families of all shapes return year after year. There are some families + couples whom I’ve photographed for 7+ consecutive years already. And to top ..read more

I’ve photographed several weddings in Piedmont Community Hall. Not quite sure what it is about this place, but the majority of weddings are with THE best, fun and overall beautiful. Exactly what Kelsey and Hal’s wedding was like. Both were so laidback, elated and just the sweetest humans in the whole entire world. They decided to do some non-traditional things like, like not having an engagement ring, they walked to the alter together, and no parent/bride or groom dances. Their entire day was focused on their union as husband + wife, their chosen family + friends, beautiful food and a whole to ..read more

This sweet newborn photo session at home was so much fun to photograph! All thanks to Baby Charlie’s silly big brother who almost stole the entire photoshoot. He was a HAM to say the least. Not only that, Baby Charlie was quite the little model (and soooo chill!). As you may already know, newborn sessions can have their challenges. Mainly because newborns and any little one’s are the bosses of the shoot. Baby Charlie and his beautiful family made the entire session a breeze. Also, can we talk about what a gorgeous baby Charlie is ..read more
