We often get asked for advice on good locations for a picturesque surprise proposal, especially for clients coming from out of town. Luckily, Lydia didn’t ask for my help — because, even after all these years of photographing couples and proposals, I definitely wouldn’t have thought to suggest a basketball court surprise proposal. But I can’t imagine a single thing that could have made this a more perfect afternoon for the two of them! [ read more … ]

Dhruv was pretty sneaky… not only did he manage to get his girlfriend Shraddha over to Baker Beach without her suspecting, he also kept a rose hidden on the entire trip over to the beach!

What an absolute stunner of a mother-to-be! We went out for Gloria’s San Francisco sunset maternity shoot at 36 weeks, and this mommy couldn’t have been more full of life — she was as active as ever and didn’t mind moving around for the best photos at all! This shoot was actually a little bit amusing as I’m almost due myself, and people were looking at us as they watched this very pregnant momma being followed around by a very pregnant photographer 😀 I love how these came out and am so excited to share!
