Black and white portrait photography in the Bay Area. Natural light, outdoors. Freckles, clear eyes, unruly hair. A studio feel without the studio.

Friends Photoshoot: San Francisco Bay Area—Candid Moments at Santana Row
We spent the afternoon wandering Santana Row with no real agenda in mind. Browsing, laughing, dancing, and drinking wine. I captured candid lifestyle moments as they unfolded, offering only occasional direction. Letting things breathe and move at their own pace is ideal for emotional realism, allowing joy and connection to surface naturally. I hope you enjoy.
Fun in the Field: Family Photos at Coyote Creek Park
2026 is off to a good start on the family photography front. Last week, I met a dad, his two children, and their dog at Coyote Creek Park in Morgan Hill for an outdoor family photoshoot. They came ready to have fun, and that energy made the session feel more like playing in a field than posing for the camera. The kids ran through the grass, collected pine cones, and laughed at their dad’s jokes. Their dog joined in on the fun, too. These sessions are my favorite because they’re playful, natural, and real. Here are a few highlights from our time at Coyote Creek Park.
Chasing Light In The Saratoga Foothills
Adelina Hays and I met in the Saratoga foothills for an outdoor fashion photoshoot. Our goal was to capture portraits that feel warm, natural, and real. The late-afternoon light was perfect for illuminating the textures and tones in Adelina’s skin and hair. It’s always rewarding when fashion photography goes beyond clothing and becomes a portrait of a person in natural light. Here are a few highlights from our shoot together. Enjoy!
