  • Today I received my film from our annual family trip to the beach, which included four rolls filled with images of my two boys (ages 3 and 1) and their cousins running on the sand and swimming in the ocean. At the same time I am looking at photos of my three-year-old on the beach, the world is furiously debating a…

  • As we get ready to wave our American flags this weekend, I feel extra proud of our country because of the recent human rights accomplishments we have made with the Supreme Court ruling in support of gay marriage. Now I want us to take our celebration of love and human rights to the black communities of America…

  • If you ask me what kind of photography I like best… this photo shoot for The Opera House is my answer… It was a tad bit crazy, thanks to the Petaluma winds and a slight miscalculation of how much time it would take to transfer an entire store of amazing props to a field. But…

At first my husband was crushed. But then we started brainstorming… Where else could they play in Petaluma?…

  • …but all this beautiful magic with Sarah Entrup happened in a single afternoon. Huge thanks to: the styling wizard, Alexis Scarborough; the lenders of beautiful things, Good Gray and Robindira Unsworth; the fearless arrow seeker, Vince Beeton and the bouncer of light and hair, Alia Beeton. Look for a new and cosmically improved Sarah Entrup…

  • And the best photo shoots… …are the ones you couldn’t even have planned if you tried. Happy Weekend.

  • Well, it’s that time of year again… Meaning it’s time to dig through the memories of last year… Pull out the highlights… And make big plans for the coming year… Thing is, I have been chasing big plans for the past 15 years… Finding a job turned into building a career… Six years of saying,…

  • If you move enough furniture and hang up a black sheet in my living room, you get this… And if you take down that sheet, and add a cute baby, you get this… I am very slowly (10 years in to this career) realizing why people have studios. Just think… no commute, no schlepping stuff,…
