Land’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 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 to new places with old friends! I met Madeline when we first did our Lagree certification together and now two years later she’s engaged! Maddy and Rhyan opted for the extended engagement session so we could get two totally different looks and a variety of photos.
Read MoreGiulia & Bryan are both from Orlando, FL and were high school sweethearts! When Giulia first inquired she actually explained that they grew up on the SAME STREET but only connected when they were 17 and 18 - how crazy is that?
Read MoreI’ve been dreaming of doing a Tahoe session since moving to Sacramento last year, so when Perry let me know they were in town visiting family and wanted to do their session there I was stoked! As I was driving around Donner Lake, I actually pulled off the side of the road to check my phone for a new trail, and BAM! right there in front of me was the most magical wooded area.
Read MoreI met Kira and David out by Tomales Bay at the furthest point of Point Reyes. I’d never been this far out on the point before and the whole drive there was so pretty; I knew it was going to be an awesome session. Kira and David have done this hike multiple times while they were dating, so it was meaningful for them to get some photos here now that they are engaged.
Read MoreMolly & Keith both currently attend graduate school in Chicago, but are originally from the Bay Area. After reaching out a few months ago, we emailed back and forth and were able to coordinate their engagement session while they were home visiting family. We were a little worried about the unpredictable December weather, but the weather was perfect and we were #blessed with the most amazing sunset!!
Molly and Keith couldn’t take a bad photo if they tried. I can’t wait to see them in their wedding getup next September for their Nestldown wedding! (Also, La Croix if you’re reading this please sponsor us)
Read MoreWOWOWOW. After rescheduling Olivia & Nate’s engagement session a few times due to the crazy Bay Area weather (excessive smoke and then excessive rain), we were finally blessed with this MAGICAL foggy morning. I went out to Mt Diablo in Walnut Creek on a sunny day and scouted this perfect spot, but of course by the time the session rolled around the weather had totally flipped. Classic Bay Area. The fog was so heavy at some points I couldn’t even see 10 feet in front of me. Rather than reschedule again, we decided to power through and I’M SO GLAD WE DID.
Read MoreSeth and Elena met in eighth grade and have been together for 11 years!! LOL WHUT. Seth sealed the deal and proposed to Elena this April in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The love they have for each other is so easy to see and I’m so stoked that I have the honor of photographing their wedding next June!!
We chose to do their engagement session at China Beach and this September evening was so perfect, we pretty much had the whole beach to ourselves.
Read MoreOhh Baker Beach, where the tourists flock and the locals let it all hang out… literally. Baker Beach has one of the best views of the Golden Gate bridge and even better sunsets, so naturally it is a great location for Engagement shoots.
Krystina and Matt are California locals but have somehow never had the pleasure of visiting Baker Beach. We arrived just before sunset, and even though we were bombarded with tourists and nudists, their chemistry was fire, making it so easy for me to get some great photos.
