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!

Julie Ann + Lincoln | Mira Vista Wedding

May 22, 2013 ~ love stories, wedding stories

Julie Ann and Lincoln are the definition of love birds. They ooze positivity and joy with their contagious giggles and smiles. When you are with them you just feel happier. I had the super honor and privilege to photograph their wedding at the be beautiful Mira Vista Golf and Country Club in El Cerrito earlier this year. The day was filled with such joy and live music, I just loved every minute of it. It is not often you see a bride pick up a trombone or a groom serenade his bride on the saxophone during the ceremony.

Julie Ann and Lincoln, thank you for trusting me to capture all your wonderful wedding day moments. Love you!

Thank you to my friend and wonderful photographer, Erin Beach, for shooting with me. Also thank you to my brother Gonzalo Sandoval for being a forever-helpful awesome assistant.
