Try and remember back to when you were a senior in high school. What did you think you were going to be? Where did you take your senior photos? All I can say is that I didn’t have it nearly as figured out as Isabelle and thank goodness for both of us her mom was […]

Peterson Family – Holiday

What a year it has been for this lovely family. This is the 3rd shoot I’ve had the pleasure of doing for Alex and Sarah, and it just keeps getting better. For their holiday photos this year, they absolutely crushed it with the cutest ever matching pjs that have ever happened. And they put their […]

Food, Lifestyle, Photography

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. […]

Ko Family – Lincoln Park

I love getting to meet a friend’s family. It’s one of those great things when you can actually see where they might have gotten some of their physical traits or their personality quirks from. To even get to see them fit within their family dynamics is kind of a special treat. That’s a life-long relationship […]

I had my first “double-header” over the Thanksgiving holidays with the Garrett and Fulton families. I was initially contacted for a family session, and then Cynthia connected for portraits, so we did them back to back. It’s always a treat getting to meet new people and learn their stories and interests and this shoot was […]

Fulton Family

When I got a photo inquiry that included the sentence, “One of the reasons I wanted to book through you was I saw you had some cat pictures on your homepage,” well, I knew this was going to be a momentous family session. I met Vanessa and her awesome family through a couple of mutual […]

Team Fanelli always shows up looking cute for a photo shoot and this year was no different. Little Scarlett dawned a fuzzy cozy pink vest and sweet bow for her hair while her teeny tiny sister Lorelai had an amazing headwrap on. It was inspo for me too on these chilly morning shoots. I think […]

Ulusarac Family – Discovery Park

How do you prepare for a fall photo shoot with completely unknown weather variables in the Pacific Northwest? As a general rule, just prepare for any and all of it. Coats, vests, blankets, whatever is necessary for the elements. Will it rain? Probably. Is that ok? It all depends on you, but generally, I like […]

I recently had the honor of photographing Dan and Steve in their beautiful home on a lovely Southern California day and bonus, Dan’s sister Effie was visiting from Israel, so we got lots of photos of all of them. A person’s home says so much. It’s where we find our comforts and create special memories. […]

Windemuth Family – Washington Arboretum

Team Windemuth wanted fall foliage for this year’s family session.  Additionally, mom (Gina) had a very specific request given we’d be photographing her two wild and adorable boys, please give them room to run around.  Thankfully I had just the place, and the autumn leaves and weather cooperated with our shoot date. We ended up […]
