Emily & Max | Half Moon Bay Sunset Engagement Session at the Ritz Carlton

Where should I start?

In the end, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect proposal than where he ended up popping the question three years later: on a hike, overlooking the Banff ice fields, at sunset. That’s top-of-bucket-list material for photographers like us!

Back home in California, for their engagement session, we started at the Legion of Honor, and then made the quick drive over to Sutro Baths to catch sunset on the beach. [ read more … ]

Leo was such a cheerful little baby, and we all had a great time with these San Francisco beach family photos on a warm, sunny evening. [ read more … ]
