  • Leslie and Sophia… and Andy Warhol

    Last week I got this email: Good afternoon Paige, I recently moved to the city with my 3 year old daughter and we would like to capture our love for life, SF and each other. We live near Baker Beach and spend hours there each week so the sand, ocean and bridge are symbols of…

  • The Final Push…

    My food photography has come a long way over the past six months. But my Town Hall cook book days are numbered. It is time to turn in what we have and let the editors work their magic. Thank you Bridget, Mitch, Mary and Michael. We make a good team. I will miss our long…

  • Faces behind the food…

    Mitch wanted me to take portraits for the Town Hall cook book… I was more than happy to oblige. This assignment was the first time that I used my new Contax 645… but I couldn’t help but use my Rollei too. I am happy with the results but I still love the square best.

  • Nothing but love…

    Graham and Janet are getting married and I am lucky enough to photograph their wedding this summer. They wanted to have engagement photos for announcements. Graham, who is an emerging photographer, said that he tried to set the camera up and take their own engagement photos with a remote, but he said it was harder…

  • Only in San Francisco…

    I love that for my 32nd Birthday, we drove in to the city to go on a hike.

  • I Do… photograph weddings… especially if they include a pittbull in pearls.

    It has been a fun summer because I have been super busy doing lots of different kinds of photography jobs. While I am very grateful to have been so busy, as a result of my crazy schedule, I haven’t had time to post all the amazing weddings that I have photographed… which now totals 10……
