  Click, click, change! If you’re a fashion blogger or influencer, you’re probably used to these sounds. Although this is a dramatization (of course you get more than two photos!), it’s not far from what happens at blogger photoshoots. As an influencer photographer, I’ve gotten to know the ins and outs of how to best […]

I met Alana through my good friend and client Sonia. We first met at her portrait session a few months ago (after she won an award for her film work!) When Alana reached out again to do a gender reveal session, I was so excited. Color bombs? Yes please! On top of that, I got […]

I remember starting my very first business. Early in my high school years, I ran an Etsy shop. I sold polymer clay jewelry and trinkets. Then, holiday season hit – and I was burnt out. I came home from school after band practice, crafted Harry Potter charms to stay on top of orders, then did […]

Her plan […]

Bloggers, photographers, and models from all over the Bay attended. Mission Loft has always been a dream space of mine for photography. Everything about the space is absolutely […]

I always love working with bloggers, and Tiffany has quickly become one of my regulars! She’s always a joy to work with and is such an inspiration as a hardworking, single momma.  Crisp, custom content is the key to running a successful blog, brand, & Instagram feed. Ditch those last minute phone pics, dress up, […]

I had the best time second shooting with Helen of Nebula Imagery Productions! We started the day off at St. Pius Church in Redwood City for a beautiful Catholic ceremony. Then, we made our way to Palo Alto to the reception at the Garden Court Hotel. It was a beautiful day!
