Maria and Vanessa

Looks like I'm a bit behind in my blogging. Its been a busy last couple of months. I've done a couple shoots between November and now. One of the last shoots I did was with a friend of mine and her fiance, Vanessa. We started our shoot near the Argonaut hotel in San Francisco. SF has to be one of my more favorite places to shoot. We finished our shoot in an hour and within that time we were able to get a variety of images and backgrounds. Luckily my very amazing boyfriend was there to help lug my equipment, leaving my hands and mind free to work their magic.

I was really happy with the way the beach images came out. My favorite is working with mixed lighting situations. I love a good challenge and it gives me opportunity to show of my flash skills.

Session in the City

Had a terrific session in the city this last Sunday. Thought I would be a little burned out from my trip to Vegas, but ate a Power Bar and away we went! Got some gorgeous images on the Crissy Fields beach and had enough time to swing by the Palace of Fine Arts. Check out some of these fun images.

Thanks to my awesome client I not only got some great shots, but had a fun filled evening with her and her girlfriends. No folks, shes not a hired model, but could be for sure. This was all natural talent.

Engagement in the City

I recently shot an engagement session in the city. By recent, I mean two days ago and by the city I mean San Francisco ;) A friend/co-worker of mine in leaving Cali and just got engaged. So what better way to say we'll miss you and good luck, then the gift of an engagement session.
We started our venture at Market street and ended it around Baker's Beach by the Golden gate bridge. Being the bad Californian that I am, I had never been there before. I only have technically crossed the Golden Gate once and purely by accident.
The sites there were breath taking and not just because we had to hike along side a cliff. I kept wishing that Rob could have been there, but me and my sobby heart shot on.
Although the hike was a pain, it was really all worth it. The sun was setting low and casting this beautiful color along the water and beach. When I see things like that, it just sets my mind at ease. Its quite soothing; I recommend that everyone make there way down there during sun set at least once in their lives. Its something you wouldn't want to miss.
