This session is near and dear to my heart because it was my first real fashion-centric shoot. Wardrobe changes, shifting weather (it rained!), and practicing verbal directions to a model were all part of the deal. Thanks, Jeel for being a wonderful subject!
I had the pleasure of shooting a fashion & headshot session with Hafiza, a gorgeous professional who works and lives in Silicon Valley and has a knack for art & fashion. We toured Potrero Hill for the amazing views that the rolling elevation gives us, plus the Dogpatch, a neighborhood full of vibrant color and incredible industrial styled textures. I used to work in the Dogpatch for several years, so it was nice returning for some good coffee at Piccino. :)
Here are Hafiza's solo shots, followed by a few relationship snapshots that we took for fun.
It may have dumped (much needed) rain on us, but this proved to be excellent weather conditions for my lunchtime OOTD shoot with fashion blogger, Jake Bordeleau. Maybe I'm biased, but San Francisco's Ferry Building and terminal are gorgeous. The architecture and view is undeniably excellent. Take a look:
Talkdesk, what a wonderful company to take photos of. First of all, their office in SoMa is gorgeous with a 360 degree floor-to-ceiling window view of the surrounding city. Second, everyone on the team really has it together in a fun, inviting manner. I was able to capture some of that office culture in photos that show their team actively supporting the product, plus some team shots, because everyone (even companies) needs good family photos.

“Stephanie did a photo shoot for our company, Talkdesk. Throughout the process she was professional, personable and a pleasure to work with. She provided our team with photos the day of the shoot that were phenomenal. I received feedback from our design team, executive team and marketing team that the quality of her product was top-notch. I highly recommend Stephanie for photography services and am thankful to have had the chance to work with her.”
We climbed to the highest roofdeck we could find to see the beauty of San Francisco alongside this beautiful styling session with fashion blogger/model, Jake Bordeleau. I wanted to make sure the sunlight hit just right to still be soft and romantic while vibrant enough to show off all the moving details of the fabric, jewelry, and patterns in the fabric. We love the results:
