What I love most about photography is the opportunity to capture authentic, raw emotion while meeting interesting and adventurous people. There is truly nothing like it. Add a little amazing natural light and you’re on your way to some beautiful photography.
I’ve been capturing weddings, family lifestyle photography and casual portraits for more than a couple decades now working primarily in the Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Napa, and San Francisco Bay areas, as well as all along the coastlines around San Diego and Coronado and everywhere in between.

They may have forgotten about the wind part. Wow- it was gusty and cold. I grew up in a sailing family, and we would have described it as “blowing stink”. They did a first look in a
Sofia and Andre ~ Camp Nauvoo
Sofia & Andre’s Camp Nauvoo Wedding in Placerville This season, I’ve found myself falling in love with smaller, more intimate weddings — the kind where every guest, every laugh, and every detail feels personal. Sofia and Andre’s celebration at Camp Nauvoo in Placerville was exactly that. Tucked along Weber Creek, this beautiful, wooded venue offered the perfect balance of nature and community. Guests camped along the creek, shared in each other’s company, and enjoyed the easy rhythm of a weekend away from the city. What made this day truly memorable wasn’t just the setting — though the afternoon light filtering
