I believe there is magic in a space, once you’ve settled in, that makes it someplace you’ll return to in memory forever Last summer it felt like everyone I knew was moving. Either buying homes or moving to a bigger rental. When my sister called one summer evening asking, “Am I crazy to consider buying this…
I stood at my back door and listened as all my neighbors howled into the night. I felt connected to people I have probably never met, all feeling similar feelings of isolation. They were howling for unity, but more importantly, to show support to all who work while we get the privilege of staying home….

Tiburon Maternity Session I thought I was a pretty big Disney fan until I met Kyra and Byran. They definitely out rank me in both DVDs and trips to Disneyland. Their wedding was even Disney themed!

Case had it in his mind to propose on their vacation to Sonoma together…
On an early summer day in Napa, Lori and Patrice said “I do” among a handful of close friends at the cozy Inn on Randolph in downtown Napa. These two have the sweetest, most comfortable, way with each other and it was such a pleasure working with them. They love to host large gatherings for…
Earlier this spring I had the pleasure of photographing this fun couple just a few days before their first baby was born. Together with their pup, we wandered some of the back roads of napa, in search of scenery. At the time, they did not know the gender of their little one so it was simply…
