We met at Sutro Baths an hour before sunset. The tide was right, the light was right, the beach was empty enough to feel private.
Then we made our way to Batteries to Bluffs Trail for the beach light: softer color, broader sand, the sun working with the wet sand at the tide line.
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.
The kind of late-afternoon shoot that turns into a story at the rehearsal dinner a year later.
See each spot in depth.
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.
