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!

Melissa + Fernando = married | sneak peak

I had the great honor of photographing Melissa & Fernando’s wedding this past weekend. It was full of joy, tears, music, culture and lots of dancing. Here’s a sneak peek. I love how cuddly and happy they are here:

Ellie Trashes the Dress | sneak peek

Ellie and Sam were married this past weekend and I couldn’t attend since I was at Jazz Camp. So we decided to do a post-wedding shoot, what I call ‘Rock the Dress’, in the Mission District no less. Hey, they are from NY and wanted to embrace the urban experience and boy, did we. This picture doesn’t show all the wonderfully random experineces we had on the shoot but it does show how beautiful Ellie is and I wanted to share it with you all. Will post up a full blog which will include Sam, graffiti, taxi cabs and much more. Here’s Ellie rocking her dress!Ellie&Sam_02

Dan + Zita = married | Sneak Peek

This past weekend I had the amazing honor of photographing Dan and Zita’s wedding day at the Mountain Terrace in La Honda. They are such a fun, quirky and unique couple and the love they share is so apparent in all they do, but especially on how they celebrated their wedding day. More to come on that in a bigger post but for now here’s a sneak peek.

I’m looking for some great couples to shoot! I love working with couples that are crazy in love. And I love catching all those little fun, sweet, honest moments between you that make you you.

So I’m offering a fun opportunity to photograph you and your loved one at the location of your choice anywhere in the Bay Area. Most sessions will last about an hour in the late afternoon when the lighting is so nice. I will provide you with the digital negatives of the best images from the shoot.

natalie + scott = married!

Natalie and Scott had been dating for 10 years and finally decided to tie the knot!  Their love, friendship and tight family bonds were inspiring to see and I was so happy to be part of their celebration.  They were such a fun and sweet couple to photograph with Lindsay.  Here is part 1 of their special day.

Maggie + Mark = Married

Maggie and Mark were married last weekend in Half Moon Bay. They were so wonderful and full of love and just thrilled to be together. Maggie was just gorgeous with her flowing dress and classic goddess look with just a touch of Marilyn. And Mark was very handsome and proud in his uniform. I was super honored to be part of their big day. Here are just a few photos… more to come.
