I first met Hannah & Jason at their engagement party/engagement session where they hosted a small cocktail party with their closest friends at a rad warehouse in Oakland. It had just the vibe they were going for and while it was a super fun shoot, we still wanted some outdoor photos as well. It was a downpour the night of their party, so we reschedule part II for a later date... [con't]
Read MoreI absolutely love what I do, but sometimes you fall into a creative rut or a safe zone of shooting. That's when it's important to switch things up a bit and shoot something totally different. I met Hannah & Jason who had just the thing. They met while bartending in Oakland, and wanted their photos to really represent who they are. They decided to throw a small get together with some of their closest friends at this incredible loft in Oakland and turn that into their engagement session... [con't]
Read MoreLiving just an hour outside of San Francisco provides the opportunity to visit the city fairly often, however I wish I went more often. Luckily, I have awesome clients who don't mind adventuring in the city with me. Lyndsay & Matt wanted to start their engagement shoot at the incredible Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco. It was a chilly winter morning outside, but inside the conservatory felt like a (very welcomed) humid paradise. I could honestly hangout in there all day and be happy... [con't]
Read MoreFrom the moment I met Amanda and Andrew, their energy was electric. Their love for each other was palpable, and they were so playful with each other. It made for some fun shots. I'm pretty sure I didn't even say very much during their shoot, as they were engrossed in their little world, teasing each other and basically just being the cutest people ever. This is what true love looks like you guys... [con't]
Read MoreThere are many reasons I love my job. Some of which include taking me to beautiful locations, and being able to reconnect with people I haven't seen in forever. AJ and I have known each other since we were young, and our families are still in touch. I was thrilled when he and his darling finace reached out to me for some engagement photos. Bailey is a kind and fun soul, I loved getting to know her and AJ together as a couple. They were troopers for adventuring with me over some prickly rocks, but it was definitely worth it... [con't]
Read MoreGrowing up with Emily was nothing short of fun. She is just the sweetest and I never laugh so hard than when I'm with her. You can imagine my excitement when she found her forever boyfriend :) We decided to take some 'pre-engagement' shots down at Newport Beach and Balboa Island. The rain teased us a bit with some on and off sprinkling, but these guys held out great... [con't]
Read MoreI love my job for so many reasons. But getting to reconnect with old friends is always a plus. Britt & I met our freshman year of college in the dorms. We lost touch for a few years as life took us in different directions, but I was SO happy when she reached out to me after she was engaged! Britt is from beautiful Palos Verdes so we took to the cliffs, quite literally. She and Trent were troopers for waking up for a sunrise session, however the fog never quite burned off. But I love these foggy photos probably even more... [con't]
