I happened to schedule an engagement session with Carter and Ned on a perfect day in October while they were on vacation in California. It was a warm afternoon, the sky was clear and the pelicans were migrating and moving gracefully throughout many of our photos. And these two are just cute as buttons and tons of fun! Enjoy our fall engagement session in the Marin Headlands at Rodeo Beach.

My Fall 2026 Mini Photo Sessions are live and available for booking!
Treat yourself and your family to beautiful memories of this time in your lives. Good for family photos, maternity photos, or photos with your dog.
I am a professional portrait and wedding photographer and mom to a 4-year-old. I`ll be silly with your kids and get special photos within a short timeframe, even with kids who aren`t so cooperative when the camera comes out.
I just released these yesterday to a parent group I am in, and the slots are already filling up! Grab yours before they book out. Full info and booking links in bio

What an incredible celebration! Phillip & Meghana are warm, caring, and just wonderful freaking people to be around, and I am so glad I got to be a part of the fun, twice over.
They had multi-day, multicultural Hindu and Catholic wedding ceremonies and an incredible party to celebrate it all at San Francisco`s Officer`s Club in the Presidio.

Squish. These two share a calm intimacy. It was a delight to see how they light each other up.
I`m digging the contrast between the serenity of the redwoods and their urban reception location. This is the second wedding I`ve had like that recently. That`s the beauty of an East Bay wedding-- you don`t have to choose; you can have both.
Make sure to check out slide 4 to see what a beautiful badass Alexis was on her wedding day!

When we met, these two said they were not comfortable in front of the camera. Honestly, I get that a lot. And here they are looking comfortable in their own skin, madly in love, and killing it! 🔥
So happy for Cindy & Aliya on their beautiful San Francisco City Hall wedding.

After their San Francisco City Hall ceremony, L+M walked over to the @sanfranciscoproper to celebrate with their families. This hotel is so freaking stunning! It`s a tres chic choice for an SF wedding and a very easy way to throw an intimate + classy wedding in San Francisco.
