Bachelorette tea time

Sometimes it's really nice to have a super girly tea with the ladies. Pictured here at Lovejoy's Tea Room in Noe Valley, SF.

Meet Sam: Wu-Tang Aficionado & Settlers of Catan Champion

Sam is also a fervent fictional sheep hoarder and game subject for my Tennessee Gray portrait project.

City Escape

It's pretty much always worth it to take a day trip from San Francisco. Evidence: Stinson Beach.

Flowers

I photographed this gorgeous wedding last year in Big Sur and am still thinking about the out-of-this-world florals. 

Fuchsia nails

I just came across this photo I took during a 2013 wedding of a waitress at Big Sur Bakery. Loved her big smile and great style, so I had to grab a picture!

The Amador County Fair

On the way back from shooting a wedding in the Sierras, my boyfriend and I made a little detour to catch the final day of the Amadour County Fair. Among the highlights was the youth livestock auction- with kids handling 1000+ lb animals, taking pride in their work to raise animals AND all while in fantastic matching outfits. Inspiration everywhere. 

Kara and the sunset

Kara is one of the sweetest people I've met in a long time, and full of enthusiasm for photography and photo adventures. She invited me on a photo walk up Mt. Tam with some super talented folks and I was so grateful to be pulled out of the literal fog of SF for sunset hunt. It was so worth it.

On the river

On a river tour of Copenhagen- completely worth it to see the city in this way!

Flowers by the apartment

These were on the wall that divided my AirBnb apartment complex from the one next door. Copenhagen: full of subtle beauty, everywhere.
