Happy New Year! / Bay Area Photographer

Happy New Year! With a new year comes a fresh start to try this thing called life all over again. Maybe we didn’t quite reach our goals by the time the ball dropped, but January gifts us with another go at it, this time a year wiser.

Each year, I learn more about photography, but in a different way. When I was first starting out, the years were filled with technical classes, workshops, and freaking out over the black hole of Photoshop. But as I’ve grown as a photographer and person, I’ve recognized that the love threaded through the relationships and moments within a session is a million times more essential than any filter.

I’m ready. I’m ready to greet 2019 head-on and to focus in on the technique and the love, both in my business and my life. Here are a few images from my first session of 2019…focusing on both the technique and the love.

What are you inviting in this year?
