A day in San Francisco! I recently had the chance to spend some time exploring the city and thought it would be fun to put together a short series of snapshots from a day spent wandering around on foot. Coffee stops, oyster bars, waterfront views, and all the character you catch along the way. What are some of your favorite SF spots I should check out next time?
Nothing like taking in the spring weather in Papago Park with a quick hike up Hole-in-the-Rock. Always a great spot to catch a sunset☀️

The vibrant streetscape of Downtown Tempe, Arizona!
The creative direction was to anchor on the historic Tempe Flour Mill, a landmark tied to the city’s founding, and show how recent improvements along Mill Avenue complement that history within a modern, walkable streetscape. Some of those updates include new sidewalk brick, public artwork, and (my favorite) more trees!
Timing and patience were key on this one. It was a complex creative challenge and a fun one to plan through, with the goal of capturing multiple transportation modes in a single frame. We wanted to include people walking, biking, and the streetcar, while still keeping the image clean, polished, and readable as a beauty shot that showed the flow of movement through the space.
The end result was a lively image that clearly shows how the space is used and experienced. It has since been used across print and digital media, including economic development presentations and as a hero image in tourism guides and brochures. Really proud of how this one came together!
This was a fun one to shoot! The goal was to capture the laid-back vibe and good times of Board & Bottle night at Postino, for a local tourism feature with @downtowntempe . It also happens to be one of my go-to spots for a glass of wine... so if you see me there, say hey!
The concept for this series was two best friends on a spontaneous weekend beach escape. After a quick scout around the property, we landed on this stretch of coconut tree-lined sand, with playful wooden chairs, bright sunlight, and a sea breeze that added some natural movement to the scene. We styled it with trendy sundresses, matching beach bags, and a few fun accessories. I loved how the colors in the final frames really popped. It felt like a vacation anyone could step into!
Step outside your beach villa and right onto the sand in the quiet stretch of Placencia, Belize🌴 The goal with this series was to convey a sense of calm and relaxation through simple, relatable scenes. @_kazzzzandra_ was a natural fit for the relaxed tone I was going for, and the expansive, thoughtfully designed grounds at @turtleinn gave us a beautiful backdrop to work with. My favorite are the coconut trees (which I kept calling palm trees until someone finally corrected me a few days in, haha). What’s your favorite kind of getaway?
Dance party in the park! 🕺💃 The City of Tempe brings neighborhoods together with these awesome community art events - and this one was extra fun with live music and dancers! From little kids to seasoned pros, it was a groovy evening for everyone. The perfect way to experience spring before that Arizona summer hits.
Hikers and horses pause on the climb up ‘A’ Mountain in Tempe, Arizona, to take in a beautiful sunset glowing behind the lights of Downtown Tempe.
