Photographing the food and spirit of family-run Italian hotspot Locanda Ravello in Danville was a real joy. First of all, Bay Area peeps, if you haven’t been to Danville, you’re missing out. It’s absolutely adorable. Everywhere I turned there was a cute little old renovated sports car or vintage truck with a perfect paint job. […]

Rooftops and Rosé

What do you do when you are putting together a brand video, and you need to showcase a warm summer evening gathering? That’s right. You plan it and host it yourself. As if I need an excuse to get people together for a little bubbly and cake. I’m so grateful for the awesome ladies that […]

We took some “after” shots of several of her commercial and residential projects and then captured her beautiful home in Medina. I wanted to be sure to reflect the full scope of the rooms as well as all the sweet details. Ann has […]

Making Pie with Lauren Ko of Lokokitchen

Social media led me to Lauren Ko months ago.  I found her beautiful instagram account @lokokitchen and instantly fell for her incredibly stunning pie art and her hilarious puntastic captions, a follow was a no-brainer.  Clearly, I was not alone. Lauren’s instagram account (with just 50 photos on it) has skyrocketed to almost 130K followers […]

Ok friends, let’s talk about a few of my favorite things: wine, spaces, and people gathering together.  How lucky was I that the awesome folks over at Rotie Cellars called me up when they found out they were going to be featured in the January issue of Decanter Magazine? So damn lucky.  Not only was […]
