The Inspiration Series

Handcrafted photo experiences you can browse and book, from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

Every session in the Inspiration Series has one thing in common – I’ve done most of the homework for you.

Scouted the light. Timed the tides. Figured out where to park and where the kids will want to run. Each experience is designed around a specific place — what makes it worth going, and what you’ll need to get there.

Some take 45 minutes. Some take two days. Browse by effort level, or just scroll until something feels right.

Roadside

Steps from the car, no hike required. These locations offer beautiful scenery with minimal physical effort, making them ideal for families with little ones, mobility issues, tight schedules, or anyone who wants a relaxed experience without sacrificing sense of place.

  • Emotional moment with dad holding son to chest, eyes closed, and kissing mom on the forehead.
  • Mother chases son down the beach in front of the Golden Gate Bridge.
  • Mom holds sons hand as they walk through clover in a forest, at the edge of light and dark.
  • Couple in wedding attire embrace, framed through circular opening overgrown with lush tropical vines.
  • Parents and two young daughters sit on a log in the redwoods.

Outing

A session paired with a simple activity, like a short hike to a sunset spot. Think of these as an anchor point for your day, experiences that fold photography into something you’d happily do anyway. Make space to slow down and let time together unfold naturally.

  • Casually dressed family of five walk across closed highway toward the beach, coffee in hand.
  • Grainy film image with parents, arms around each other, looking out to the ocean as their kids turn to run away from the waves.
  • Family of three embrace and look towards a fading sunset over the flanks of Mt. Tamalpais.
  • Family of four hold hands and walk away from a golden sunset.

Adventure

More effort, more time, deeper experience. These are immersive sessions that may involve a long hike, ocean kayaking, or maybe a night in a wilderness cabin. They reward that investment with solitude, story, and a powerful sense of having gone somewhere together.

Out of Season

Experiences on pause until the conditions align once again.

  • Girt throws rock into creek, captured at water level, showing above and below the creek.
  • Man and woman kiss while standing amid tall grass in soft sunset glow.
  • Little girl putting hands in tidepool with mussels
