Giggles all day! Sarah was full of them and so were we. This adorable couple flew up from San Diego to get married at San Francisco's City Hall. This was a special day for the two of them becoming one and they couldn't have radiated more love. I even had the honor of being the witness as the newlyweds signed their marriage license. Lots of love to Sarah and John!

Trying to be stealthy is not always easy with camera in hand, but it was a fun challenge to capture some intimate moments without Cheryl noticing for this surprise photo shoot. For Cheryl's birthday, Steve wanted to surprise her with a photo of them embracing to get it printed to hang in their home. The love shared between them was beautiful to watch, and capture from a distance.
Nike's new store on Union Street in San Francisco opened back in May of this year and I had the pleasure of capturing some images for their first beach inspired event.
Nike Union Street is geared towards women and for the first Friday of each month they host an exclusive, invite only Girls Night in Workout. This beach, surf-inspired event featured Hurley's athlete Carissa Moore. Nike partnered up with Sweat Republic for a night of balance board workouts, surf inspired yoga, and intensive cardio work. Afterward, the girls got to enjoy a nice post workout reception which included a food and summer drink bar as well as a beach towel customization station.
My other sister, Aimee, also came for a first-time visit to San Francisco. Nicknaming her Poison Ivy, we loved this shoot in front of a gorgeous ivy covered wall in Pacific Heights. Aimee is a talented textile designer and artist who lives in Brooklyn, New York. She hand dyed and printed the headband featured below! You can check out more of her lovely work here:
My beautiful sister came to visit, so of course we had to take some portraits! We visited some California wineries for her first time and ate at too many delicious restaurants in Sonoma. Lindsey is a wonderful cook and always shares new delicious recipes with me! You can check out her blog here: www.hazelhaven.com
The pureness and unity between these two love birds was undeniably heartfelt on their wedding day. Devon and Chris both have harmonious souls and it is certain that they were made for each other.

Family portraits are one of my favorite sessions because I always enjoy watching the love and dynamics between each unique familial bond. Melia and Jazmin were the sweetest little darlings. Melia was so gentle with her little sister as she read to her and gave her the flowers she picked. And Jasmine was content the entire time enjoying every second of sunshine. It doesn't get much cuter than this!
We had such a fun time with this engagement in the thick fog. The Marin Headlands is one of the most unique areas of the Golden Gate National Recreation area. The views from above in the high hills and mountains are breathtaking, especially when you have two beautiful people to capture! Stephanie and Brandon's love for each other shined through in the moments in between. // Shot alongside viviansachs Photography
We enjoyed some warm weather over the fourth of July in Bay St. Louis, MS. It was a first time experience at their annual Crab Fest with live music, rides, and crab in just about every way imaginable. This year was one for the books. A weekend filled with watermelons, sunshine, seafood, ocean swimming, and fireworks. What better way to celebrate the U.S.A? ((Images shot on my Hasselblad 500 with Kodak Portra film and Canon 5D))
I always have a lovely time shooting for Vivian Sachs Photography. After shooting Nobuko & Aaron's engagement session in San Francisco, I knew what a beautiful bride and couple they would make on their exciting day. Mark Chua and I always have a blast shooting together. Cheers to the newly weds and their undeniable love for each other!!

Aidan's first birthday party was a hoot. He is such a little character and woke up from his nap to find a house full of people celebrating him! The party animal hats were such a hit! Shooting for Vivian Sachs Photography.

I had too much fun with this adorable little kiddiewink, Isla. She is such a happy little baby and her parents, Justin and Anika, are just as lighthearted. We enjoyed some time in the park, melting ice cream cones, picking flowers near the bay, and a little dance from Isla here and there.
Sisters are a simply this: a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.
Shooting for Vivian Sachs Photography always brings unique opportunities my way. Being on call for the Old Pulteney sailboat arriving in San Francisco was one of these thrilling experiences, to say the least. This 70 foot racing yacht was one of twelve, each sponsored by different brands, racing around the entire world by sea. Arriving from their last stop in China, the crew was welcomed with bagpipes, family, and Old Pulteney Malt Scotch Whisky.

Its always a lovely time shooting alongside Vivian Sachs, and we had so much fun with this engagement session in San Francisco. From the Ferry Building to the Golden Gate Bridge, this day was full of California sun and colors. Congratulations to this beautiful couple!
When I walked into Aline's Closet for the first time, I stepped into a world of beauty. From the ceiling to the floor, this designer had every single detail beautifully done. With her rich and colorful palette, Aline Dazogbo designs and constructs all of her clothing and jewelry by hand. Her made-to-order rack consists of her permanent collection which can be personally designed to fit your body and color preference. Her energy is alluring and she brings so much light to this place. Aline's little shop on the corner is one of a kind, to say the least. The shop is located on 101 Pierce Street in the Haight district of San Francisco, CA.
I am moving to San Francisco, California. On my drive out to the west coast, my companion and I stopped in Marfa, TX to explore the mysterious city in the high desert. This artistic little community and town far surpassed my expectations. From sleeping in campers and teepees, to viewing the milky way at night, to swimming with fish in a natural spring that pumps around 28 million gallons of water a day, I'd say this was one hell of a place to visit. In my mind, my next visit is already planned out.
