Yay to the ‘E’ ladies of Eel and Ermine! They were featured in the newest edition of San Francisco’s September 7×7 Magazine for their hand tailored and crafted clothing. (Btw, 7×7 big change in the bound and paper of the mag – what gives?!). Congrats ladies!! And yes, I took the photos featured on page 86. Ya know, just in case you were wondering ;)

Hello last day of August! Oh how fast you have gone. I had the pleasure of photographing Shana and Marcus’s glorious day at the Morton Arboretum a couple weeks back. Despite the scorching heat and persistent mosquitos, it was a truly magical day full of good friends and loving family. Thanks to Dawn for hanging in there with me!! Enjoy the sneak! (more…)

Today I bring you Kristen and Gene! Super sweet and mellow couple. You could say their engagement session was a normal Sunday morning theme; walking the dog, grabbing coffee and exploring their family-friendly neighborhood all in the quiet that is Sunday morning. The best part was discovering spots they didn’t even know about like all the incredible vegetation inside the children’s community garden (including finding a school desk prop!!). Enjoy the sneak peek! (more…)

Good to be back home! Flew in last night from a wedding in the midwest and just in time for a birthday dinner for my Jman. So excited to share Caroline and Andres’s engagement session with you! Thier wedding will be held in wine country so they wanted to change the scenery up a bit! The perfect evening consisted of beautiful murals at Balmy Alley, ice cream at the incredibly yummy Humphry Slocombe and a trip to Andres’s childhood park for some futbol love! Enjoy the sneak peek!

Wow, it’s Wednesday already! Headed out-of-state again tomorrow for another wedding this weekend. I’m just all over the place! Denise and Dave – what a couple of love birds on their magical day. The midwest locusts hummed all day & night and families were as happy as can be. I was smitten with the whole day – their 1800’s Chicagoland home, handmade decor details, absolutely photogenic couple (although they were worried about being awkward in front of the camera!) and lively guests. I’m going to stop chatting away and let you know that you’ll need 2 cups of coffee for these images ;) Enjoy the sneak peek! (more…)

Happy Friday! Somewhat of a free weekend for me, in-between an engagement session, production, finding outfits for Jman’s Mad Men bday bash in a couple weeks..haha, did I say production? And I will enjoy a delightful dinner at Suppenküche (I’m sure you’ve seen this SF german restaurant on the blogs for it’s indie weddings) with family via a sweet gift certificate that some of my clients gave me :) I leave you now with a sneak peek of a sneak peek for what’s to come on the blog soon…

Get ready for this sneak peek folks! Not only did I have a wedding in the good ole Midwest but also an engagement session. How in the world did Terri, Adam and I manage to get all these amazing shots in 1.5 hours while having an absolute blast running around Chicago?! The stars must have aligned for us…even the rain gods. We were prop crazy, love crazy and on a mission! So grab your morning coffees for this one! Can I say how incredibly awesome it was to run into a Tina Turner impersonator?! Sassy. (more…)

It’s August already, can you believe it?! This month, my Jman turns the big 3-0! I am throwing him a Mad Men style bash at a swanky, vintage and super teeny restaurant/lounge in downtown San Francisco. We have family and friends coming in town to join the rest of our SF folks to celebrate in style (no longer a surprise ;). While I love saving a tree, this occasion seemed perfect for a little diy paper invitation! Check out the rest… (more…)

Lately, I’ve been craving another camping trip so that I can sit outside in the warm breeze and read the million books that I’ve borrowed and have yet to read/finish. So this could have sparked my new obsession with enamel coffee mugs…in love with the vintage white and tin! These colors do just fine too ;) Wouldn’t these be cute at a wedding?! Guests could drink hot chocolate or stuff them with flowers or how about hanging them from trees? Ideas are endless.
