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!

Yesenia + Alex = Married!

Last month I had the great pleasure to photograph Yesenia & Alex’s wedding in San Francisco.  It had been raining but not for the big day.  Luckily, we had a gorgeous and slightly chilly San Francisco day – just perfect!  Yesenia was a gorgeous bride and I can’t wait to shoot their Trash-the-Dress session sometime when it gets a little warmer.  Thank you to my second shooter, Gerald, for help that day.

This photo was taken by my second shooter for this wedding, Gerald.  It made me laugh and thought it went well with the photo above:

I love how happy she looks here, ready to celebrate:

Melissa + Fernando = Married

Melissa and Fernando were married in September in Berkeley at the GAIA Arts Center and I had the pleasure of capturing their amazing wedding.  The day was filled with so much joy and laughter and dancing.  It was a fantastic time for all.  Below are a few of my favorites from the day.

Fernando had changed into his father’s white wedding suit and it took the party to a whole new level.  Here they are at the end of the night…

Ellie & Sam – Trash the Dress | more!

I’m so happy to post these pictures of Ellie and Sam’s post-wedding shoot.  We had such a fun and adventurous time walking around in SF’s Mission District finding cool places to shoot and meeting all sorts of interesting people.  They both live in NY and they wanted an urban yet romantic feel to their shoot and I think we got it.  Below are some of my favorites:

Funny how things happen, just as I was thinking of doing a shot like this, it happened and Ellie and Sam were so on it.  Thank you to the cab drivers for holding up traffic for us.
