Lines, once parallel, turning perpendicular | Irman & Robelene on Ocean Beach

Irman & Robelene. That headline encompasses a big part of this couple's story, penned by the imminent groom. You can't tell from these sunny photos, but it was super cold and windy on this San Francisco summer day. When Robelene asked for wardrobe suggestions, I asked for a flowing dress and for her to keep her hair in a bun. That was the right move for the blustery weather! They wore open toed shoes, which was also smart... I got run over by a wave and had to borrow her shoes. :) Always a good time with these two. Enjoy!

Paul Love Catching Air in San Francisco

Big sky, big air, and big jumps in the big city of San Francisco is what you're seeing today.

I met Paul Love when my SF Portrait Meet group was shooting at Dolores Park, where his own group was skateboarding. We kept in touch over Instagram and finally found a time to do a formal shoot!

As Paul is an avid skateboarder, fisherman, and fan of the outdoor life, I wanted to put him in portraits taken from some of the most picturesque places that showed his personality. Between coffees and poki bowls, we put together our creative strengths and below is a fraction of the results. I'm so happy with these shots -- it was nearly impossible to pick favorites.

Thanks for trekking up to the city, Paul! If anyone would like to follow him, check out his Instagram.

If you'd like to set up a portrait session like this, contact me and I'll save a date!
