Overview

You're not just booking a photographer—you're choosing an experience that can become one of the highlights of your San Francisco visit.

As a long-time Bay Area photographer, I know how to match the perfect location, lighting, and time of day to your vision, creating photographs that feel natural, authentic, and uniquely San Francisco.

Before your session, I'll personally help you plan the details, from selecting the ideal location to offering wardrobe recommendations, so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience.

Every session is thoughtfully tailored to your personality and style, allowing genuine moments to unfold naturally. Clients often tell me they arrived feeling nervous but left saying, "That was fun." That's exactly what I hope you'll say too.

My goal isn't just to deliver beautiful photographs—it's to create an experience and memories you'll treasure long after your visit.

What's Included

  • Optional add-ons: florals, transport, proposals
  • Access to purchase high-quality prints and albums

    What To Expect

    Your San Francisco vacation deserves more than selfies. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with family and friends, I'll help you capture your visit with a relaxed, personalized photo experience at iconic locations like the Golden Gate Bridge, Baker Beach, Crissy Field, the Palace of Fine Arts, and hidden local gems. I'll help you choose the perfect location based on the season, lighting, and your vision.

    From our first conversation until your gallery is delivered, my goal is simple: create beautiful photographs while making sure you genuinely enjoy the experience. I'll guide you naturally so you feel relaxed and confident. Clients often tell me they arrived feeling nervous but left saying, "That was fun."

    After your session, you'll receive a private online gallery with 35+ professionally processed, high-resolution images ready to download, print, and share.

    Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, my goal is to create photographs—and memories—you'll treasure long after your San Francisco adventure.
