Bring out the disco balls and funky vibes…get out of the standard wedding box and have some fun. During our last Shootout I only had a few minutes to be able to shoot with Emma + Nima, so I took them outside in the parking lot, grabbed a disco ball and I think we created […]

STINA I first had the chance to shoot with Stina a few years back and I KNEW I needed to work with her again. She is so much fun and in front of the camera she is flawless. I mean it. Not a single bad angle! How is that even fair? 🙂 We had been […]

ANNIE Oh, Annie. When I started dreaming up this session and looking for someone to model…my vision didn’t fully come to life until I found her. Her perfectly freckled face, that light red hair, piercing eyes. I couldn’t have asked for anyone more perfect. These bold and vibrant florals were created by Moelleux Events. Dress […]

Last year Jana Contreras and myself had the idea to host a dinner to get to know other local photographers and build each other up as a community of photographers. In June we hosted our first dinner and it went so wonderfully. So many local photographers reached out to us to be a part of […]

Rachelle + Steven. I remember the first time I met Rachelle. I was doing an in-home newborn shoot for her sister and she had come to help. I remember her wild blonde hair, bright blue eyes, tan skin and very sweet nature. It was later that week that she called me and asked if we […]

Mount Tam that is. I’ve been a photographer for the past decade and yet somehow this was the first time that I was in front of another professional’s camera. I have admired Alyssa Luzaich Photography for a long time and I thought it was finally time that I had some sort of headshots. We drove […]

After lots of planning, our vision came […]

At weddings we usually take our break while everyone is eating dinner. Cause taking pictures of people eating just isn’t very nice. I’ve had the pleasure of eating some really yummy dishes, but I will say…it makes me a tiny bit sad that I almost never get to taste test all of the amazing sweets. […]
