Narely & Mike’s Yosemite Engagement Session

There’s something truly special about Yosemite — the way the towering cliffs make you feel small, the stillness of the forest, and the ever-changing skies that seem to tell their own story. On a breathtakingly foggy morning, I had the joy of capturing Narely & Mike’s engagement session surrounded by some of the most iconic views in the world: Half Dome and El Capitan.

The fog rolled in like a soft blanket, wrapping the valley in quiet magic. It added a dreamlike quality to every photo — like the whole park was holding its breath just for them. Narely & Mike were completely in the moment, laughing together, wrapped in each other’s arms, and taking in the beauty around them.

Their love felt steady and grounded, the kind that doesn’t need grand gestures to shine. Whether we were standing on the edge of a meadow or looking up in awe at the granite giants surrounding us, every frame was filled with warmth, tenderness, and a deep sense of connection.

We wandered through fog-kissed trails, stopped to take in the view of El Capitan as it slowly emerged from the mist, and ended with Half Dome peeking through the clouds behind them — a quiet reminder of just how incredible this place is, and how powerful love can feel in the middle of it all.

Narely & Mike, thank you for trusting me to capture such a beautiful chapter of your story. Your love — gentle, grounded, and full of joy — was the perfect match for Yosemite’s wild beauty.

A Beach Session with Steffie, Alex & Their Pup

Some photo sessions just feel like magic — and this one with Steffie, Alex, and their adorable pup was exactly that.

We met at the beach in San Francisco just in time for golden hour, and the light could not have been more perfect. Steffie and Alex share such a natural, effortless connection — the kind that makes every moment feel warm and real. Whether they were walking along the shore, wrapped up in a quiet embrace, or laughing with their dog racing around them, their love radiated in every frame.

Their pup? Absolute star of the show. With sandy paws, playful energy, and plenty of cuddles, it was clear this little one is a big part of their love story.

These are the kinds of sessions I live for — where we get to freeze time, soak in the beauty of nature, and tell a story that feels honest and true.

Steffie and Alex, thank you for letting me capture your love and your joy. This session was a reminder that sometimes the simplest moments — barefoot on the sand, wind in your hair, your favorite person (and pup!) by your side — are the ones we hold onto forever.
