Family

It’s not every day that you get to photograph such a beautiful family that you’ve seen grow through the years. As a lifestyle photographer I feel so lucky to get a sneak glimpse into the lives of so many terrific people. It’s even more amazing when you take a step back and appreciate the relationships […]

Alexa and I met in San Francisco years ago when we met at work. We did a photo session on the streets of the mission and discussed how the city’s evolution was taking its toll on us. This shared perspective on a place we had eagerly both chosen to call home instantly connected us. In […]

My pal from college and I recently got together in Venice, California for a portrait session on the canals and near the beach. 20 years ago this was my old stomping ground and it was so surreal being in this space now. So much has changed yet friendships, the spirit of beach life, and of […]

There’s really nothing like a foggy stroll through a Seattle park in winter. It’s one of the most invigorating sensory experiences.  The air is just buzzing with freshness.  On the morning of my shoot with the Weitmann family there was actually a little too much fog and you couldn’t see a few steps in front […]
