I loved her style so much that I contacted her about producing a shoot together here in San Francisco. Fast-forward a few months and we finished shoot 1 of 2. Her little man, Hank had a tiny meltdown (as so many 2 year olds are prone to do) so we’re doing a second shoot this week. Please check back for our second round of shooting in the meantime, enjoy some images from Round 1!

Quick shoot notes: we shot at the museum concourse between the deYoung and the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. The early am winter light was really amazing. Thanks to Eugenia for assisting. Liz was wearing a J.Crew sweater and Anthropologie dress. Her shoes, belt and Hank’s shirt were all vintage.

p.s. We are also sponsors of her blog, check out our little banner…

Whether I’m doing a commercial project or something with a local family, location is really important. It can really make all the difference between a good shoot and a spectacular shoot. Here are a few images from my scouting mission. I’ll be sure to share images from this shoot next week.

What’s your favorite place to shoot in San Francisco? Right now, I’m enjoying my very own neighborhood Potrero Hill and Dogpatch. On sleepy weekend mornings it’s nearly devoid of people (and other photogs), and we have tons of old builidngs with great patina, a somewhat industrial look, as well as some really stunning downtown views.
