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.

I know secret and beautiful photography shoot locations around Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Napa, the San Francisco Bay area, and the California coastline from Point Reyes down to San Diego and Coronado.

Camp Lotus and the South Fork were decked out in lanterns, river-themed seating charts and tables along with their favorite raft, “the shredder”. These two re-found their love for each other while traveling, skiing, camping and rafting after a long time
The Fraticelli Family
Friends of friends of friends. How lucky I am to have a business that has grown in the same location for over two decades and its livelihood is predominantly from referrals. My favorite customer! I was so happy when Lindsey reached out after Veronica and Josh’s wedding, and through our connection with the San Miguel family, Madison and Hailey whom I’ve been photographing since pre-school. Mom, Julie came along to help with the grandkids, dancing and carrying on behind my camera. I’m pleased with this series of images, though admittedly it wasn’t easy getting them. Sometimes it is, sometimes it’s
