We are five weeks into our first year of homeschooling. I’d be lying if I said it’s been easy. I’m an introvert. My daughter is an extrovert. Who almost never stops talking. I’m exaggerating a tiny bit but really, the hardest part of this whole journey has been all me. I need alone time to […]

Last week I blogged a maternity session with this sweet family that was waiting for their newest addition. They wanted to document their life before and after the baby arrived, as a family of five and a family of six. I was curious what it would be like juggling three older girls, a new puppy […]

I’ve been working on a personal project with a couple of friends each Friday based on a specific prompt that changes each week. A few (ok maybe more than a few) weeks ago the prompt was floral so I decided to pull out my macro lens and picked up some beauties from Trader Joe’s. Does […]

Even though I photograph families often, it’s rare that I get to photograph them at one of my favorite places in San Francisco. The Sutro Baths have such an interesting history and I would have loved to see them in their heyday! Since I haven’t yet invented a real, working time machine I’ll have to […]

I drive past this wall at least once a day, and every time I think to myself “I should stop and take some quick photos.” And every time I just keep on driving. Well, I finally made it a point to do it. Fueled by my personal project (52 Fridays) I packed my camera and […]
