San Francisco Photographer – Bay Area Portrait Photography bio picture

welcome to my blog and website!

I love what I do - I'm a mother to my 2 year-old baby girl named Gemma, wife to my amazing husband Scott, sister (youngest of 6) to my wonderful brothers and sisters, and daughter to my supportive and sweet mother and father (may he rest in peace).  I am also a photographer in the Bay Area with passion for people and telling stories.  

For 15 years I produced video games, focusing mainly on art, animation and story. Now I'm applying those artistic and story-telling skills to my photography and having so much fun!  

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my site. Drop me a comment and let me know what you think - I love hearing from folks!  :)

Enjoy life!  Enjoy my site!  Gracias!

Pacifica Beach Engagement Photography| Jennifer + Jesse

engagement session at rockaway beach in pacifica

One of the reasons I love photographing engagement sessions is that it allows me to visit new places and see my couples in places they love and feel completely comfortable in.  For this session, Jennifer and Jesse introduced me to a wonderful beach called Rockaway for their Pacifica Beach engagement session.  This beach is their ‘happy place’ where they love to go and relax and get away when life gets a little hectic.  I can understand why.  As soon as you walk up to this tiny patch of paradise you instantly start smiling, feeling the mist from the crashing waves, feeling the breeze on your face, checking out the surfers catching waves, and just be around happy people.  They love to come to Rockaway to pass the time and reconnect.  I’m so happy they introduced me to their ‘happy place’ because it has now become my own ‘happy place’.  We had such a great time just literally frolicking in the sand and tempting waves to catch us.  So much love and laughter was had.  Please enjoy some of my favorites for our session.  Oh and don’t forget to check out the last image as it is an ‘outtake’ from awesome Pacifica Beach engagement session.pacifica-beach-engagement-jj_011 pacifica-beach-engagement-jj_023pacifica-beach-engagement-jj_016 pacifica-beach-engagement-jj_026 pacifica-beach-engagement-jj_034pacifica-beach-engagement-jj_028 pacifica-beach-engagement-jj_037 pacifica-beach-engagement-jj_038

I really tried to actually incorporate the surfers but it didn’t quite work out and so I decided just to focus on the love between Jesse and Jennifer during our session.  But here is a  funny outtake from our time at gorgeous Rockaway Beach in Pacifica:

Palmdale Estates Wedding Photography | Bernadette and Joey

palmdale-estates-wedding-fremont-jb_001

I loved photographing Bernadette and Joey’s wedding!  We started at with a fun yet traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony in San Francisco and then to Fremont for their Palmdale Estates wedding and reception.  These two are so right for each other.  You can tell from how playful they are with each other, the love their parents have for them and the fun their friends have when they are all together.  We spent the day laughing and also at times getting emotional.  It was an awesome day and I’m so grateful they trusted me to capture their important moments, big and small, on their wedding day.  Please enjoy just some of my favorite images below:

One of the reason why I love photographing a Palmdale Estates wedding is that it is super close to where I live.  So if you know someone who needs a wedding photographer, please send them my way.  Thank you!  Also a big thank you to my second shooter, Curtis Myers, who drove down all the way from Novato to assist me at during this wedding.  Gracias!
