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!

Out of Studio

I’ll be out of the studio this week at Jazz Camp West, where I’ll be singing and dancing and photographing the week’s events.  It is the best week of the year for me because it combines all my passions into one amazing week.  If you are at all artistically inclined, think about joining me next year, you won’t regret it!  Here’s a random assortment of photos from last year.  See you soon!

San Francisco Portrait Photography – Krystiana

Krystiana and I had a great time exploring San Francisco’s Mission District and then heading up to the Marin headlands. Krystiana is an aspiring model and we had such a fantastic time together. Below are few of my favorites.

Marlene + Glenn = Engaged

When I first met Marlene & Glenn, I could just see all the love between them.  As we talked and I listened about how they met and how their love grew, I couldn’t help but get emotional.  We all got emotional.  Yes, I’m that kind of photographer.  Yes, they are that kind of people and I love it!  I recently just shot their wedding which was fantastic (look for a post in the near future).  So until those are ready, here are my favorites from their romantic and fun engagement session.  We shot them in San Francisco, first by the garden in front of the Dutch Windmill in Golden Gate Park.  And then by The Cliff House, where Glenn proposed to Marlene.  Awww, sweet love!  Congrats to the happy couple.  So grateful to have met you!

We found a magic cave.  A perfect way to end a wonderful engagement session.
