Ivy and Karl, Engagement Portraits, San Francisco

Couples and EngagementsPortraits
Ivy and Karl’s engagement portraits incorporated some classic San Francisco iconic vistas – the Palace of Fine Arts and Baker Beach, with the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance.  Gorgeous!!  They’re fantastic ballroom dancers, so getting them to play and loosen up was a joy.

@westerbekeranch only hosts a few weddings a year, @westerbekeranch only hosts a few weddings a year, and I was so lucky to get to photograph @the_swills & @kevinrogerwills ‘s beautiful wedding there last summer. I’m (finally) preparing to blog my favorite photos from their day, but my “pared down” edit is still almost 200 photos. 
So first, here are a handful, which show off the pretty couple as well as a few perks at the gorgeous property. At the ranch, there are ancient oaks, tended gardens and wildflowers, birds of paradise and cacti and northern Californian grasses, Buddhist bells and Adobe buildings, adorable summer camp-esque cabins and a very inviting pool. The more I think back to it, the more I’m wishing to shoot another wedding there, and maybe just post up poolside for the whole wedding week… 💚

A few more from my recently-blogged destination pr A few more from my recently-blogged destination proposal shoot for Lacey & Hope 🧡

Hiring a photographer for your proposal really involves a lot of faith - and, in this case, literal Hope! - since not only do you need to be sure they’ll say YES (and that your partner will want photos of this moment!) - but afterwards, we’ll be doing some spontaneous portraits. It can be hard to look your best when you’re caught off guard. But in the best case scenario, like this one, both partners are so overjoyed and in love that they find ease, confidence and happiness snuggling up in each others’ arms, which makes them the most beautiful possible.

I posed L&H’s Bodega Bay proposal to my blog and I posed L&H’s Bodega Bay proposal to my blog and it felt so good to remember this gorgeous, sunny day when these two women visiting from Louisiana got engaged.  Can you spot them, blending in to this lovely vista?

12.5 years ago, I cried when I found out I was hav 12.5 years ago, I cried when I found out I was having a girl - from joy and from the sorrow of knowing some of the challenges that come with growing up in a girl’s/ woman’s body. I love having a daughter so much, but sometimes that grief still comes up, especially now, as she’s poised on the edge of womanhood, with people she’s never met trying to legislate what we do with our bodies. 
We walk home past planned parenthood, and often a few quiet protestors there, every day. We have the conversations. Things feel abstract but also very real and present. I don’t know what to do.
From a dual bat mitzvah earlier this year. I love From a dual bat mitzvah earlier this year. I love the variety of cultures, traditions, styles & personalities that were celebrated that day. I’ve never seen anyone dive so ferociously for food as I saw these young teenagers vying for these fresh, delicious soup dumplings!!

I’ve been photographing this beautiful family fo I’ve been photographing this beautiful family for 12 years this spring - since my baby was just weeks old, and since we’ll before these babies were around to brighten all of our lives. I love everything about going out into the Sonoma County wilderness to photograph these friends!  The light, the people, the flowers, the hidden bats and lizards and turkeys and maybe foxes and more. I’d do it every month if I could! 💜
@tolutti , I’m uploading your gallery now - will send you an email soon! Sorry in advance that I simply could not narrow them down more - your cuties are too photogenic!!
