Sofia and I got together for a shoot in San Francisco, California. We photographed at SF City Hall, and then various parts of Golden Gate Park. (We also got extremely lucky and happened across some cherry blossom trees right as they were in bloom)
We had a blast creating and really lucked out this entire shoot with the lighting and environments.

Elseana Skowronski and I got together for a photoshoot in the San Francisco bay area earlier this year.
We began our shoot in SF just outside the Exploratorium near the Embarcadero. When we arrived, there was a small bridge that started spraying mist everywhere. We weren’t sure how long the mist was going to last, so we had El jump in and snapped a few photos of her on the misty bridge.
Turns out, the bride mist is an art project from Fujiko Nakaya. I snapped a photo of the information on the project;
After we shot at the fog bridge, we decided to head south outside of the city towards the Pacifica/Montara area. The weather was surprisingly warm for the bay area, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful.
Then we headed towards “The Devils Bunker” which offered massive views and a cool large structure.
Then we drove back into the city and finished our shoot at Bernal Heights.
This was Kayla Incontro and my first time shooting together. We utilized a variety of indoor and outdoor locations in the Bay Area, and created a huge amount of epic shots.

Sofia and I have shot together a few times over the years in a variety of states and locations.
This time, we spent the day creating in San Francisco, California.
Isn’t that arabesque crazy?
We started the shoot at Bernal Heights, which offers beautiful views of the city + a nice view of the Sutro Tower (which you can see in the bottom right corner of the image above)
After bernal we headed to the Legion of Honor Museum.
The legion of honor is a popular photo spot in SF because it has a good variety of photogenic locations in the vicinity.
Our last location was Ocean Beach. That evening the weather rolled in some extremely dense fog that created a gorgeous mysterious atmosphere.
This shoot was extremely fun and we got a ton of gorgeous outdoor dance photos.
