Corrine & Nicko Welcome Baby Jackson - San Francisco Newborn Photography

2 week old baby Jackson is here! Congrats to proud momma and poppa, Corrine and Nicko. 

I was lucky enough to receive some behind-the-scenes photos from the proud parents. I may look a little silly, and all photographers get a bit awkward, but rest-assured, it's all for the shot! :)

Shannon Morse Headshots on Polk Street - San Francisco

Shannon (Snubs!) is in my camera, and it looks like we should turn this into an annual tradition. You may have seen her in my feed with fire hair, but her brand has evolved alongside her purple locks. 

We toured Polk Street and wandered into some of the best places - Bob's Donuts, Saint Franks Coffee and more. I look forward to seeing Shannon everywhere you can find her: https://snubsie.com will lead you to TekThing, ThreatWire, Hak5, and of course her very own Snubs Report.

I love how her photos came out, not to mention we got some silly/artsy shots in while catching up. :)

Alison & Chris welcome baby Lia to the family - San Francisco Newborn Photography

Branding Paul Love's Local Water in Pacific Heights - San Francisco Portraits

Paul Love and I often talk about passion and how to make dreams turn into reality. I personally believe that compelling personalities have a willingness to throw themselves into that said passion with their whole heart. It matters less what the passion is, and it matters more to simply have one and own it... and when you go full immersion, that's when the magic happens.

In Paul's case, he is an avid sports fisherman. The man literally lives and breathes the sport in a way that networks like-minded individuals via shared stories, insights & perspectives, reflecting mutual respect for one another. Through Local Water, Paul aims "to expose our sport in the truest form of passion possible" through the eyes of anyone who shares the same passion for fishing.

We met for a set of portraits in San Francisco's Pacific Heights on a cloudy day and came up with some great shots that reflect Paul's goals for Local Water. And because we're friends who laugh a lot while catching up, I also took some just-for-fun photos, even testing out a new prism with my lens on a rooftop. :) Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!
