Engagement photos with dogs take a bit of preparation and patience, but if you put all the pieces in place, you can get some awesome results. N + T wanted to make their dog, Jasper, a part of our engagement shoot. We thought about the best way to set up the itinerary, so that Jasper…
“An engagement photo with classic car.” I often ask my couples about their ideas for the engagement session. I want the shoot to be original, fun, and most of all, to reflect something authentic to the couple. We spend quite a bit of time thinking about places or concepts that are important to their relationship.…
My first engagement session of 2014 culminated in a pretty psychedelic sort of image. When we arrived at the Queen Wilhelmina Garden – the location of San Francisco’s famous Dutch Windmill, I saw that the tulips (or are they poppies?) were blooming!

Memorial Day brought perfect weather, and we met in the late afternoon in order to take advantage of the gorgeous ‘magic hour’ sunlight. The Boardwalk was…

I had the privilege of doing not one – but two engagement sessions with them. The first was early in the morning,…
