Isabelle Portraits – San Francisco

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 […]

An Evening at Locanda Ravello – Danville

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.

When I first landed in San Francisco I was utterly delighted to discover that I had an adventure buddy willing to explore every corner of the city with me.  Our last adventure was quintessential San Francisco, Chinese New Year in Chinatown.  What better place to go out with a bang?  No pun intended but whoops!
