Alex and Ashley cosplay and run a popular fan page for their cats. It was a gorgeous day for Engagement Photos but when we arrived at the Palace of Fine Arts, the main section was blocked off for a performance. I don’t know what the performance was for, but luckily you can’t tell that there […]

“Caili is both a wonderful person and an outstanding photographer! She made the entire shoot so much fun and comfortable by constantly guiding us on what to do.
