Bold Italic Photo Essay: San Francisco’s Etsy Superstars

My latest photo essay for The Bold Italic is on the San Francisco artists leading the handmade revolution on Etsy. They let me into their studios, shared their secrets for success and told me where they find inspiration.

A Sweet Day in the Presidio

A Boy and His Dog

I promise this was not staged. This little starlet puggle insisted on two things — getting equal time in front of the camera and finding a soft spot to take a nap. Fortunately, we were able to distract him with some kibble when it came time for portraits.

Purple Rain

A rainy day family shoot in the studio with lots of lovely purple.

Clement Street Photo Essay for The Bold Italic

Check out my photo essay on the Clement Street microhood at The Bold Italic, featuring local spots like Park Life, Seed Store and, see above, Toy Boat Dessert Cafe. And, yes, that double scoop of mint chip was for me.

A Very San Francisco Wedding in 7x7 Magazine

A fun city wedding Heather and I shot last year for Gertrude and Mabel, featured in 7x7 magazine. The bride arrived in a cable car and the ceremony was held at Old St. Mary’s next to Chinatown. See the slideshow here.

A Field Trip to Snoopy’s Home Ice

Had fun taking pictures (and falling on the ice) while taking pictures for this SFGate feature on Snoopy’s Home Ice, a skating rink housed in a reproduction of a Swiss chalet in Charles M. Schulz’s hometown of Santa Rosa.

Cavallo Point Wedding in BRIDES Magazine

Heather and I shot this gorgeous wedding for Gertrude and Mabel last year. Karen and Joel bucked tradition with a pre-ceremony stroll at Cavallo Point, part of the Golden Gate National Park. Visit the full gallery on the BRIDES magazine website.
