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.
Thank you so much for visiting my website and taking a few minutes to look at some of my photographs. I’ve been photographing weddings, families, milestones, and events for over 20 years. 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.

What a beautiful day this was for Team JV. Not only did Josh and Veronica tie the knot, surrounded by dear family and friends, they did it their way. It could have easily been 100+ degrees at this Sacramento venue, Black Oak Estates but it wasn’t. It was a sweet 80 degrees with a big blue sky and puffy clouds. My good friend Melanie referred me to Veronica, and we connected easily. Team JV wanted a big party, a small ceremony and a warm gathering for friends and family to celebrate their love. Josh’s daughter, Briana, officiated the ceremony while
Ryan UC Davis, Class of 2025
Back in 2020 we had plans to do Ryan’s High School graduation photos but COVID got in the way and time moved forward in the blink of an eye, another 4-5 years to be exact. I was so glad when I got the call to get to capture another of Ryan’s graduations, this time from the University of California at Davis. I met up with his mom, Meredith and brother, Ian and moved around to all the great spots. What a beautiful campus, and the late afternoon light is fabulous. There were many graduates and photographers on campus that night-
