Kristi has perfected the gentle hair wave. Serious goals. I brought this up when we met for her order and reveal session, and learned that she had had it done soon before our shoot. Does it show or what? Kristi has grown up in San Francisco so taking her senior photos at Baker Beach was […]
I turned 21 and Arya defeated the night king – what a great day! On one hand, I was really excited to turn 21. I can now fully participate in all events! At the same time, I’ve been pretty cognizant of getting older and it’s scary. I need to figure out who I want to […]
Emma is running XC and track at UCLA. Kate is running track for Georgetown. On top of just having the prettiest faces, they are fit and (almost) inspired me to start running, too. We met at Inspiration Point in Tilden Regional Park and they told me that they’d gone on runs there before! We had […]
Claire is simply a lot of fun. She’s a basketball player, a dog lover, a big sister, and a supplier of lots of sass. When we first starting planning senior photos, Claire wasn’t sure where she was going to commit for college. Luckily, she made her decision soon before our shoot, and we were able […]
“Caili was so wonderful to work with through and through. From our very first meeting with her when she brought us pastries and explained her services in a no-pressure environment, to our engagement pictures, and finally the day of Caili was organized, timely, and ON TOP of EVERYTHING. Caili actually kept me and my now […]

She was also so generous in sharing with us the best spots (even if they […]
We can’t control the weather. I usually book up months in advance, so rescheduling your photo session because of rain can be difficult. If it’s an option though, I’m sympathetic! But if it isn’t, don’t worry. As a professional photographer, it’s my job is to make you look good no matter the situation. Running around […]
Sean and Diana are gigantic nerds and I absolutely love it. We spent our time together running around graffiti-covered ruins in San Fran + making movie references. Talk about speaking my language! I’ve been in contact with Diana for months now. When we finally met in person, it was truly like hanging out with an […]
First of all, just because you have a friend/family member with a nice camera, that doesn’t mean they can take nice photos for you! There is more to taking a good photo than having the right equipment. It is similar to how a professional chef can take the same ingredients as I can, but create […]
photo credit to Hannah Maria Photo My cousin Alex got married this month! The first of my generation to do so, the whole family was super excited. My mom’s side of the family are all in different states ( and going to med school lmao), but growing up the aunts and uncles made it clear […]
