Whether you're hiking with your family, celebrating an engagement in the mountains, building your brand story, or pushing limits in action sports, I document real moments in real places. No studios, no stiff poses—just you, the landscape, and honest storytelling.

What’s Included in Every Session

Every session comes with these essentials, whether you book 3 hours or a full day. No hidden fees, no surprise charges—just comprehensive coverage and support from start to finish.

  • Pre-session consultation We'll discuss your vision, location preferences, what to wear, and logistics.

  • Location scouting & recommendations — I know the Bay Area's best spots and can suggest places that match your style.

  • Professional editing — Color correction, exposure balancing, and natural retouching.

  • High-resolution digital images — Full print rights included for personal use.

  • Private online gallery — Easy viewing, downloading, and sharing with family.

  • Printing guidance — Recommendations for labs, sizing, and framing.

Choosing your location

Many clients come to me with a place that already holds meaning—the trail where they got engaged, the beach their family visits every summer, or a summit they've been dreaming of reaching. Others have a vision (coastal cliffs, redwood groves, alpine lakes) but need help choosing the perfect spot. Either way works beautifully.

I'll help you think through timing, accessibility, weather, and logistics to ensure your session runs smoothly.

I'm available for sessions throughout the Bay Area, across California, and beyond—from Big Sur to Yosemite, Tahoe to the Eastern Sierra, or anywhere your adventure takes us.

Popular Bay Area locations: Point Reyes, Muir Woods, Mount Tamalpais, Big Sur, Half Moon Bay, Castle Rock State Park, and many more.

During our consultation, we'll discuss your vision and I'll recommend 2-3 locations that fit your style, comfort level, and the story you want to tell.

Do I need a Shot List?

You don't need a detailed shot list, but a few ideas help shape the session. Common requests include: - Walking together (always a winner) - Close-up details (hands, rings, expressions) - Wide environmental portraits showing the landscape - Movement shots (running, playing, exploring) - Quiet intimate moments If you have must-have images, mention them during our consultation and I'll make sure we capture them. Otherwise, I'll guide the session based on the light, location, and your natural interactions.

Travel

Two raccoons on a tree trunk at Sunset Beach Bay Area Family Shoot

I’m always ready to go wherever your story takes us. I regularly travel to Big Sur, Yosemite, Tahoe, Point Reyes, Santa Cruz Mountains and beyond— if you've been dreaming of a specific location, let's make it happen.

Whether it’s hiking to a ridge at sunrise, paddling across a quiet lake, climbing into the alpine, biking through forest singletrack, or spending the day exploring a place that holds meaning for you, I’m there.

Travel within the Bay Area is included with every session. For adventures beyond that, we’ll create a simple, transparent travel plan together.

Adventures don't stop at the California border—I've shot in Nepal, Peru, Cambodia, Japan, Costa Rica, Eritrea and many other places. I'm always excited to explore new destinations with clients.

If your story leads us farther — to a national park, a coastline, a trail system, or a destination you’ve always wanted to explore — I’m happy to travel, hike, bike, kayak, climb, or wander alongside you to document it.

Leave No Trace

I photograph people in the places that matter to them, and I’m committed to keeping those places wild, healthy, and accessible for everyone. During our session, we’ll stay on durable surfaces, respect wildlife, and follow local guidelines so we can enjoy the landscape without impacting it. The outdoors gives us so much — taking care of it is part of the story.
