Kevin and Sandy's love story began on an app called Coffee Meets Bagel. After their first meeting, they quickly felt a strong connection and continued to see each other. It turned out that they both lived just a few miles apart, which made things even more convenient. They have been together for almost 5.5 years and have been patiently waiting for this big day!
Read MoreSO in love with this dreamy studio shoot I recently did for one of my besties who's expecting her first baby next month. This was my first time shooting a maternity session in a studio and I love the soft and romantic vibe we created.
We opted for warm background colors and simple flower props, letting this mama-to-be glow like the absolute goddess she is!
Such a special session documenting two good friends in a beautiful new season of their life! Our goal was to capture frame-worthy moments as they anticipate the arrival of their baby girl, Cora.
We were hoping to catch the golden hour light and this Folsom Lake location definitely delivered. The sunlight over the tall grass created such a magical and dreamy atmosphere and I was able to capture the exact photos I had envisioned.
What a dreamy winter wedding day for Kaitlin and Nick! Located in the heart of wine country, Montage Healdsburg was the perfect venue for their romantic and elegant celebration. Kaitlin and Nick, along with their amazing planner (Sarah at Cole Drake Events) put so much thought and care into the details of their wedding day. The winter-inspired florals added so much warmth to the overall aesthetic of the day. From the elegant table settings to their initials on orange peels, every aspect of the day was carefully considered and executed flawlessly.
Read MoreI live right next to farm fields in Sacramento and this was the first year that I’ve seen sunflowers grown! I kept seeing these beautiful flowers glowing orange in the sunset and I just knew that I had to plan a session here!! So I called up my best friend and her husband (who live a mile away) for a quick mini shoot with their 4 month old, Colbie.
Read MoreLand’s End / Sutro Baths area is definitely a popular choice for sessions and the reason I never get tired of shooting there is I never know what kind of weather we are going to get. As someone who isn’t originally from the Bay, Karl the Fog still confuses me so much. It seems backwards that the summer months in SF are always cold and foggy and the best sunsets happen in winter!! For Maddie & Stephen’s session, I left the 112 degree heat in Sacramento and by the time I got to the beach it was only 65f - so wild!!
Read MoreWhat a beautiful day celebrating these two! Megan and Carter met at their first job straight out of college, but little did they know they had actually both grown up in the same town and went to high school together!! Isn’t life funny like that? After a surprise Sonoma proposal, the two decided to tie the knot this spring at Boulder Ridge in San Jose, a hilltop venue with stunning 360 views
Read MoreWOWWW! This might’ve been the best golden hour I’ve ever photographed. Lauren and Stefan’s joy was so contagious and their day was filled with so much fun and laughter - exactly how a wedding day should be! After both getting ready onsite at opposite ends of Nella Terra, we met on the bridge with the beautiful vineyard background.
Read MoreThis is my go-to spot in the summer when the rest of the Bay Area is cold and foggy! This spot never fails, and after a short hike, we were rewarded with 360 degree views of golden rolling hills and a DREAMY sunset. Kindle and Beau fit together effortlessly and their love was so dang easy to capture.
Read MoreYay for finally blogging this colorful, boho wedding in the Santa Cruz mountains! Sydalyn Hill only hosts a few weddings a year, making this Santa Cruz gem even more magical. How unreal is the girls getting ready location?! Laura & Mark’s big smiles are so infectious and their day was as laid-back and fun, matching their personalities!
