I’ve been a little quiet here lately - traveling, creating, and working behind the scenes on something I’m very excited to share in the months ahead.

In the meantime, I’ll be returning here more often with some of the moments I’ve gathered along the way.

Light Remains
Monterey, California

There is something about the coast at blue hour—the way the last warmth settles into the rocks while sea and sky begin to blend into evening.

I’ve been a little quiet here lately - there are many exciting things taking shape behind the scenes.

But no matter what is in the works, I still love returning to favorite places in the early morning, before the city fully awakens. For a few quiet moments, it feels as though San Francisco and Ghirardelli Square are mine alone.

Some images have the ability to make you feel like you were there...

So many exciting things are taking shape behind the scenes, and I can't wait to share them.

This morning's reward was this quiet moment above North Beach, just as the first light found the city. It's these in-between moments, the ones that exist for only a few minutes - that keep calling me back.

Grateful for another sunrise. Grateful for the magic.

The city never greets the morning the same way twice.

Today it arrived beneath a ceiling of dark clouds, while a ribbon of golden light quietly announced the day. For a few precious moments, San Francisco existed somewhere between night and morning - neither fully awake nor still asleep.

Those in-between moments are the reason I photograph this city.

This morning, she was extraordinary.

Some places don't announce themselves.

They're hidden just beyond the trail... quiet, timeless, and waiting for someone willing to slow down long enough to notice.

Finding scenes like this is one of the greatest rewards of being a photographer. It's never just about reaching a destination, it's about discovering those unexpected treasures that reveal themselves for only a moment, if you're paying attention.

Those hidden moments are often the ones I remember most.

Have you ever stumbled upon a place that felt like your own secret discovery?

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

Wishing everyone a wonderful Independence Day as we celebrate America's 250th Birthday.

Tonight promises to be one for the history books as San Francisco launches its fireworks from the Golden Gate Bridge - an honor that's happened only a handful of times. I'll be out before the show, cameras ready, hoping Mother Nature gives us a break.

🤞 Fingers crossed for a fog-free evening. If all goes well, I'll have some special images to share with you tomorrow.

Happy Independence Day, everyone. Stay safe, enjoy the celebration, and here's to 250 years. ❤️🤍💙

Every Fourth of July is special, but this one feels different.

This year, America celebrates her 250th birthday, and I find myself more excited than usual to photograph the celebration.

San Francisco will mark the occasion with a fireworks display launched from the Golden Gate Bridge's Towers. It will be the third time in history that fireworks have been set off from the Bridge itself. It's going to be an unforgettable night, and I can't wait to experience it through my lens.

Tonight I'm sharing this image of our beautiful City Hall, proudly illuminated in red, white, and blue, with lasers shooting into the sky, a reminder that patriotism can be both powerful and beautiful.

I'll be out before the crowds, chasing the light... and then staying long after dark.

More to come...
