City Views

City views from urban hikes are my absolute favorite – constantly on the lookout for that one cityscape that leaves me breathless with its urban beauty.

Wine Country

Just an hour away, Wine Country calls with its wineries and grazing tables. Right now, I'm savoring Syrah and Bubbly Rose, making for perfect afternoons of wine and outdoor relaxation.,

Soulva's Greek-style salads are an absolute must – with the freshness that is always appreciated, and don't even get me started on the fries in my salad, a delightful indulgence!

"Jess captured our personalities perfectly, she was extremely responsive and helpful with deciding location for our wedding photos. Our wedding photos are priceless and because of her we are able to relive our fairytale over and over again."

Sara & Steven
Jessica & her team were a delight to work with! They captured beautiful moments from our wedding!!

Rachel & Alex
"From the start, Jessica made us feel at ease and was so enthusiastic to shoot our big day, which included a simple City Hall ceremony and laid-back portrait session at two different locations. She thought carefully about spots to shoot, given our love for trees and architecture, and took into account SF's predictable fog. Our big day went very smoothly, with Jessica knowing exactly what to take since she knew the ins and outs of City Hall! "

I got my love for Italian wine from my first job in downtown San Francisco at a cute Italian eatery. That is where I discovered my love for SF.

One of my favorite pastimes is cooking, I enjoy bringing people together and love hosting dinner parties and indulging in wine-country escapades. If it's got spice and you’re down for some bubbles, I’m in!

When I’m not working you can find me snuggled up with my sweet cat Toby watching an episode of Downton Abbey or catching up with the latest Love is Blind love triangle.

Some of my favorite San Francisco historical spaces resonate with an appreciation for the old world merging with the contemporary like classic venues such as The Fairmont and the iconic SF City Hall to the new Saint Joseph’s Art Society. Beyond the city, I have an infinite love for wine country. From venues like Trentudue Winery and Viansa to Olympias Valley’s Estate I love everything about our natural surroundings in the bay.

My visual journey started at the San Francisco Art Institute, embracing medium and large format, and enriching my portraiture with documentary and fine art photography.
