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.

Hunter and I shot together in the San Francisco Bay Area in May of this year.
We started the shoot at Bernal Heights in SF.
Bernal is a beautiful spot to shoot with stunning views of the city.
The wind was a bit intense, (to say the least) but Hunter was a trooper and played off the energy and vibe of the wind with some of the poses.
After we finished at Bernal Heights, we went to a nearby neighborhood and used this gorgeous garden spot that had lovely vinery and foliage.
After the garden area, we headed to the coast and shot at Ocean Beach for sunset.
As you can see, Hunter is a talented dancer with huge charisma and a unique movement quality. It’s always a blast creating with her and this shoot was especially fun.
You can follow Hunter on IG here.
Till next time,
