I love the fact I can retrofit Sony A-Mount SSM autofocus lenses, on one of the most fun AF film SLR’s, the Minolta α-7. Shooting film gives that feeling of anxiety, anticipation, and rewarding joy especially when your roll of film is exposed and composed correctly. Film always brings me back to why I loved photography in the first place.

I had such a fun time photographing these three. I don’t often shoot family photos, but I had to make an exception for this warm, gracious, and absolutely hilarious family. Check out Chase’s instagram to catch up on what he’s up to. The guy is a great hybrid photographer/videographer (ahem with the Sony Alphas ahem), not to mention he can shag a few infield liners on the baseball field. Good times hanging out with these guys, and I hope we get to do it again, soon.
I had a really fun time photographing some commercial photos for Haute Bride x Hayley Paige. With me for this shoot were the wonderful Chantelle Paige and Madison Fisher. They absolutely killed it here, in the forest groves of the Presidio.
I was fortunate to get Alexis and Hunter Pence in front of my camera for a quick impromptu portrait shoot, and boy was this a lot of fun. You couldn’t meet a nicer couple, and they really are a walking/talking version of the #relationshipgoals hashtag. I am truly thankful for their time, here.
