The story of how we met this day is a good one. I was on my way to grab lunchDinner by myself before our session at 6pm. I walked into a burger joint a block away from my house & noticed a camera sitting on a table outside. I thought to myself,”Who in my neighborhood has THAT camera & I don’t know who they are. HOW DARE THEY COME INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD. WITH. THAT. CAMERA.” I proceeded to make a sassy tweet about it. Something along the lines of I am probably going to commit a crime… by stealing a camera… GET OUT OF MY HOOD. After I waited for my food to get served up, I walked out with my to go bag & slowly realized OH MY GOSH, THOSE ARE MY CLIENTS! With immediate regret & embarrassment of said sassy tweet I asked them if they were in fact who I thought & many many laughs were had over burgers. A fun impromptu lunchDinner time straight into this gorgeous session.

These two are so perfect – I loved every second with them. Sam contacted me for one of our free Oakland Sessions. Sam is a killer photog from Sacramento ( see, look! ) & I was so thrilled to have her & Bryan come out to get clicked at. PLOT TWIST – Turns out I knew Bryan in HighSchool… What the what!

THIS WAS JUST, OVERALL – A GOOD DAY. Thanks you two for coming out to visit!

Dresden Rules Oakland.

Dresden will tell you Oakland is the best place to live. If you live in Oakland too – Dresden will tell you that you’re neighbors. He will point in the direction of his house & his Mom’s work – he’ll even tell you about his favorite band, which naturally is his Dad’s.

Here’s to my favorite little Vegan.





















Plot Twist: He will also make you feel (unintentionally) the most guilty after asking you if you’re vegan. Because if you’re not – you get the most curious & thoughtful,”Why?” In that moment you see his tiny face looking back at you seeking answers. So, you stop and question life for a moment.. For Dresden, you realize you can probably live without cheese. Look at that face, c’mon.
