There's a moment at Sutro Baths just before the sun drops where the sky and the sand go the same color. We made sure to be there for that.
Then we drove to Lands End for the cliff-edge angles: sharper light, wider horizons, the kind of shot that makes the surrounding coast look bigger.
From there we drove down to Baker Beach for the back end of the day, when the sand catches pink and the marine layer comes in to flatten everything.
We finished at Legion of Honor for the architecture: clean lines, long shadows, a contrasting look from the natural-light stops.
Two-plus hours of slow walking, quiet direction, and a couple drives between spots. Each location added a different look to the gallery (coast, cliff, ridge, trees) without the day ever feeling rushed.
Twelve months from now they'll point to one of these 144 photos and say "that's the one we put on the save-the-dates."

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.
