I'm so glad you found me! I'm a San Francisco photographer, and this blog charts my journey in the ever-evolving world of photography. One of the things I love about photography is that it's a journey, not a destination. I'm constantly learning and meeting wonderful people. Please peruse the blog to your heart's content, then check out my website and feel free to contact me! (I love hearing from you.)

Winny and Terry, Part 2 - A Fisherman's Wharf Engagement Session


You may remember Winny and Terry from their first blog post what seems like eons ago now. They wanted to do two engagement sessions, one more casual (hello Giants wear and AT&T Park!) and one more formal at Fisherman's Wharf.

I had never photographed a session at Fisherman's Wharf before, and while I knew it would be absolutely gorgeous, I was a little concerned that we would be photobombed at every turn by tourists running amok. I'm pleased to say that that wasn't an issue at all, and while it was busy we were able to find lots of lovely spots and have them all to ourselves long enough to get the photographs we needed.


It was a warm evening, and the fresh smell of the water mingled with the sweet scent of waffle cones and the yeasty aroma coming from Boudin. We ventured first to the water's edge to look out at the boats.


And the only photobomber we found was a rogue seagull, searching for whatever scraps he could find. Seagulls are welcome to photo bomb my pictures any day!




Strong evening sunlight made for some fun shadows.



And some great silhouettes!




We finished up with a couple of portraits with the Petzval lens, and then a couple more by the water's edge.




Winny and Terry, thanks for two wonderful sessions! I know you're perfect for each other, and I can't wait to see what you end up doing next!
