Let me take you today up close to what I like to call the "coals of Yosemite’s famous Horsetail Fall Firefall." This is my personal interpretation of it. I view it as the "coals" of nature’s masterpiece and believe me, it’s a sight that ignites the senses.

Through my lens, I captured a breathtaking moment that resonates deep within the soul. I’ve created a series of fine art photographs that celebrate the extraordinary beauty of this experience. Each image is a vibrant tribute to the fiery colors illuminating against the majestic granite backdrop.

Although the sky didn’t wholly cooperate to create that flowing fire effect, the radiant orange and red hues reflecting off the granite walls transformed the scene into a stunning spectacle for a few brief seconds.

Heather recently decided it was time to refresh her headshot, and I was thrilled to capture her images once again. I had the pleasure of photographing her about five years ago, and just last week, we created more stunning shots together. It’s always a delight to showcase her beautiful smile and vibrant essence.

In just 20 minutes during our mini-session, we captured some fantastic images, and I’m excited to share a few sample photos with you. If you’re considering updating your headshots, I’m ready to assist! Don’t miss out on my amazing deal for mini-sessions; you can achieve professional, high-quality photos without committing to a full session. Let’s get started on your new look!

Love - Engagement Photo Session - Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park, Oakland

The engagement of this couple happened, and I was fortunate to be the photographer to document part of it. My favorite type of capturing people; is when In love. There’s something truly magical about capturing moments between people who are in love. For this shoot, we aimed to create a warm and candid atmosphere inspired by the enchanting beauty of a forest (Oakland redwoods was the perfect choice!). The natural surroundings provided the perfect backdrop, allowing the couple's genuine emotions to shine through. Here is the first set of images;
