My excitement and amazement factor has not dropped a bit since the day I met with Whitney + Ryan! Their STUNNING looks, high energy, down to earth attitude and the list goes on…., made me go numb. She’s a teacher and he’s a Cop how KEWLer can it get. Their importance & appreciation given to photography kept me on my toes and I on my end aimed to take this session to the next level. After every session, on my drive back I reflect on the shoot and “I always feel I could’ve still did better”, as I am pretty hard on me. This time I didn’t feel shy to appreciate myself and for the first time felt I GAVE IT MY BEST, though I try doing that at every session. I know I shouldn’t be partial here, but this was by far my BEST EVER. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did and would LOVE to hear your comments, as always! :)

Whitney and I were debating between Baker’s beach and Fort Point for GG bridge view, and finally opted for Fort Point. Both regretted and can’t be happier with this choice, when I scouted the day before the weather was like heaven, on the day of the shoot, it got WINDY as hell and was FREEZING cold. W + R were SUPER TROOPERS, they didn’t mind anything though they had watery eyes cause of the crazy wind and were freezing but they still kept a mellow smile and a conversation going, gotta appreciate that! Sorry guys, I hope the pictures made justice to that killa sacrifice :) The wind came in all directions and we had to position Whitney facing the wind every now and then so her hair wasn’t messed up for the shots…WOW! My hands were so numb I could hardly feel my hands when I changed lenses LOL.
LOVED the silhouette, that’s how my eyes were seeing at that point I guess B&W LOL :). I started to loose focus due to the crazy weather.
After we were done with Fort Point, we quickly stopped by the Golden Gate Park to incorporate some fresh and green look in our shots!
Felt much much more warmer here, so we decided to start tackling the cupcakes. I was drooling while shooting these, and YES W &R did save some for Barney & myself :)
Loved the idea of SPRINKLES, they had custom stickers to put on their packaging to meet the event type. So glad the associate asked what was the occasion, remember to get them next time you there!
LOVED Whitney’s super sparkly RING. Ryan should have blew some $$$ LOL :)
So glad we stopped for a mini coffee break close to Financial District, this charming kid was killing the Cornet and I loved his attitude. Reminded me of my high school band days. He was super friendly and obliged to pose for us, plus took his jacket off to reveal his colorful shirt LOL. LOVED the colors, did compliment him by sending him his portraits. YES, he gave me his email and requested if I could send him his pics. How cute! :)
Movie Stars is the word…, the B&W was my fav! :)
We quickly ran up to this secret spot to grab some shots, been scouting for a while. One good thing of working in the Financial District! :)
This was by far my LONGEST shoot ever, and it was pitch dark when we arrived here. When the setup was all done even the building lights here were turned off! BIG thanks to my good friend and assistant Barney for help with the lights, greatly appreciate your help bud.
HUGE thanks to Ryan for being so kind and attempting this shot numerous times, to write using flash light. I sucked at it big time, and my writing looked like scribbles :)
