Come with me behind the scenes to a branding shoot.

We had so much fun in SF first at the @palaceoffinearts then at this lady’s beautiful office. I love telling your stories through our work together. Special thanks to @darinvillanueva my PIC on this.

Unboxing a dream 👏📦 Say hello to the Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 — aka my new go-to lens.

I’ve been eyeing this beauty for a hot minute, and she’s finally home! As someone who shoots with dual bodies, I’ve been hauling around five primes for every session — but not anymore. This lens is a game-changer! Thought I’d bring you along for the excitement. Let’s gooo😅

The next chapter is about to begin. Seniors - you have so much ahead of you. It’s about the time where you start to get the itch to break free. Become your own.

But before you go, let’s capture this moment and document how far you’ve come. It’s a great time to snap seniors before the summer crazy begins. There are so many fun ways to do these but I especially love when we can incorporate their personality like this love for guitar.

Just a reminder… we want to be a part of the memories we’re making!

Mamas, instead of the usual brunch or grocery store flowers this Mother’s Day, send this to your partner to remind them a beautiful gift would be to capture this moment in time, just as you are. 🌻🙏

Springtime beginnings and welcoming this little love. 🌸 I’ve had the pleasure of photographing these two for years including their firstborn.

Gifting yourself a session whether it’s with the whole fam or just you and bebe is one of the best things you can do for yourself!

Keep swiping for some real springtime feels!

Let’s get down to biz this Monday! Meet Elizabeth (@e.eshoo) — a therapist with deep SF roots, an effortless cool-girl vibe, and a space that’s just as grounded and vibrant as she is.

She hired @darinvillanueva to design her site (which means she got me too!), and I loved getting to pull from her love of the city and showcase her in her element.

Branding photography isn’t just headshots—it’s storytelling. It’s capturing the vibe, the values, and the you behind the business.

Is it really a question?!

Maybe dresses aren’t your usual style and that’s ok but usually for couples or family photos I recommend them. They add a pretty flow that captures beautiful on film! And when you feel amazing, it shows! Trust your photographer to guide you on the details. A good one will ensure you look your best!

Happy National Siblings day to these two!

Think being a photographer makes it any easier to get pictures of your kids?? Think again. 🤣 This is from our Holiday Session (thanks @danielaharringtonphotography)!

Vaughn was just home for Spring Break and is getting bigger every time we see him. 💪 Gavin started a second job recently and we barely see him.

Despite how busy things are, life is full and these two always have each other.

So, I’m a show images straight from the camera type of girl (which is going to be someone else’s pet peeve!). I know I just shared some sneaks BUT typically this is not how I roll.

I want to make sure my client sees what I see, can envision the direction we are going, is confident I’m capturing amazing images so they can then relax and enjoy the session. It is not a popular opinion but done right, it helps build trust and works for me/my clients.

And while we’re chatting….a few more unpopular opinions 🤣

1. The 2-Week Turnaround Myth Weekends are for shooting, not editing, and if I’m swamped with sessions, edits take longer. Some photographers prioritize speed—I prioritize quality and care.

2. Crooked Horizons It’s such a simple fix and makes a world of difference. No one wants a crooked ocean hanging in their living room.

3. Blurry Photos They can be cool—but for me, they’re a trend. I want your images to be timeless, not something you cringe at in two years.

4. Shoes on the Beach No. Just no. You wouldn’t go barefoot at a gala. Help your clients make better choices for images they’ll cherish!

What are you waiting for? Why not gift your mom or loved one a beautiful photo with HER in it this year?

And if you need updated photos (because let’s be real when was mom actually in the frame?!), book her my upcoming mini session on April 5! Send me a DM for details or any print needs.

Just married! ✨ Capturing moments like these is why I love what I do. I got to photograph these two alongside their loved ones for some long overdue family photos and celebrating this special occasion. These photos from our session have the ‘we really did this’ kind of joy!

Whether you’re newlyweds, celebrating years together, or simply wanting to freeze time with your favorite person (and pet!) — I’m here to document it all. Love is beautiful in all its forms, and your story deserves to be told.

The days are getting longer, and there’s something magical about that extra bit of golden light. More time for sidewalk chalk masterpieces, wave-chasing giggles, and barefoot backyard adventures. The simple, beautiful moments that make motherhood so sweet.

Let’s chase that golden light together. Whether it’s a playful family session or a tender moment between you and your little one, I’d be honored to freeze these fleeting days in time.

📸 DM me to book your spring session — because these longer days are meant to be remembered.

No matter who you love, how you love, or what your story looks like—I’m here to capture it. ✨💛

Because love is beautiful in every form. The quiet moments, the big laughter, the stolen glances, the deep connection—it all deserves to be celebrated and remembered.

This is one of my fave shoots for so many reasons but its a great example of how not being perfectly posed tells more of a story.

If you’re looking for a photographer who embraces and honors ALL love stories, you’ve found the right place.
