Old-growth redwoods at Henry Cowell Redwoods block out most of the sun. We shot under filtered light through the canopy, where the air smells like duff and bay laurel and you can hear nothing but creek.
Direction was minimal. A few prompts, a few suggestions for where to look or what to do with hands, then we got out of the way and let it happen. The best photos came from in-between moments.
Under three-hundred-foot trees, even a proposal feels small. That's part of why redwood shoots work: the scale puts the moment in perspective.
Here’s a few highlights from this shoot. Most photographers only ever show a static portfolio of their very best images. I think every potential client should see more than that: the full shoots themselves. Nothing sets expectations like seeing multiple sessions at one location in different weather, times of day, and seasons. We get amazing photos no matter what, and we’re not afraid to show you.

Holding a date costs you nothing. We plan it together, and you pay same-day, once the shoot wraps.
