When my client Brooke Govenar called to ask if I would photograph her new line of kids clothing, Gracie Mae, I was so excited. I immediately thought of Bear Flag Farm as our backdrop. Tina Reikes‘ beautiful wedding site in Winters is a perfect blend of rustic and elegance for Brooke’s Fall line. And with [...]
I met Mary Kinney three years ago when she hired me to photograph her family-husband, Jason and their baby daughter Stella. We hit it off from the start. Mary is a magnetic, beautiful, enthusiastic, and a terribly creative soul. We have been collaborating ever since and its always a riot! Mary also styled my shoot [...]
Ok, my job was WAY too easy where Maria was concerned. First off, she is drop dead gorgeous, comfortable with the camera, and she has an adorable and super fun personality. We hit it off immediately!!
Maria and I decided on a shoot out at the Sutro Baths. The weather was a little dreary, but the [...]
I love Rock N Roll Bride. To be honest, I wish I had come up with the idea myself. How fun would it be to find and showcase the funky, edgy, and more unusual coverage of fabulous couple’s weddings who are a little more rock n roll? Kat Williams does this perfectly. And I was [...]
Thanks to this beautiful couple for their incredible story. And to the supreme team of vendors: including Melissa and Jennie of MAP Events, Geoffrey Applegarth of Paula Le Duc, Patrick of Bloomers, Thomas Hughes Videography, Perfect Endings, The Fundamentals, and Chris McDonald of the Dream Team.
5. American Rag on La Brea and Wasteland on Melrose. Being that I went to school in LA, I was well versed at the time in vintage and cheap, cheap, cheap for the pocketbook. The staples remain true and still as hot as ever.
4. The Painted Bird, San Francisco. Of course its cools, its in [...]
Lauren & Jay met when Lauren was a contractor at Jay’s company. She had plans to move back to Boston, but when Jay asked her out on a date and the company offered her a permanent position, Lauren quickly forfeited the move for the boy! They have been attached at the hip ever since. Jay [...]

Abby always does the most brilliant job of putting imagery together and giving her viewers fun ideas to run with. The images included in this spotlight are from my gorgeous wedding at BG [...]
Maya and Jon met in college. One class turned into a long ongoing crush. It wasn’t until they met up again a few years after graduation, that Jon’s persistence finally broke Maya down and she agreed to go out with him. From there, this little crush turned into a full fledged love affair.
But the love [...]
I love that Style Unveiled recently made their way to San Francisco. What a great site/blog! I love the style, tone, and the essence of everything they report on.

1. Alexis Bittar: Resin & lucite beauty in bright magical colors. Always with the [...]
while working at Ernst & Young. Neil Ruthven, hailing from South Africa, and Julia (Holstlaw), from Piedmont, California knew early on that they would share many many years together. The two were joined by family and friends from around the world as they said “i do” on May 31, 2008 in Julia’s hometown. The Ruthven’s, [...]
How much do I love Anna + James??? Besides being the dearest of friends, they were amazing clients and collaborators. We had a blast!
Check out their gorgeous wedding on Style Me Pretty, the ultimate wedding blog!!
It is such an amazing feeling when someone gives me free license and total creative control with their family to shoot them in the style and with the purpose I see fit for that day. Andrea, a client and dear friend of mine, wrote about my company awhile back in her amazing publication Daily Candy (Andrea [...]
I stumbled into the most fascinating boutique for men’s clothing and fine antique jewelry on our last day in New Zealand. The shop on Ponsonby is an artistic sensation.
As the New York Post puts it, “Owner Mark Crane’s cache of European street wear and hand-dyed T-shirts embellished with prints by local artists are as much [...]
I am so glad this lovely couple got the main page spread on SMP. They are such loves and their wedding was a DIY inspiration! All of the elements of this wedding were chosen with amazing style and grace. And Anna’s handcrafted a designer dress into a masterpiece of her own! Check out their feature [...]
Aurelie Bidermann is the coolest! …okay, maybe not my total fave, sorry Alexis B! But after flipping through an Italian Vogue while awaiting my birthday spa treatment in gorgeous Wanaka, NZ…I saw her recent rendition of her gold cuffs. They are exquisite. And what makes Aurelie the coolest, is just when she was at her [...]
