Stacy is a photographer, just like me! We both have been wanting to book a portrait session, so we decided to trade photoshoots! I’m so in love with her photography style, so it was a huge honor to work with her. Tap here to check her out!

Stacy is such a cool person, inside and out! She’s going to school and taking a film & digital arts class. How awesome is that!? I can’t wait to see what you do with it, Stacy!

Our session happened in Hayes Valley. It’s such a cute little area in San Francisco! There are so many local shops, a grassy area, and even a workout place.

This area was super convenient, because it was only about two minutes from the bed and breakfast I was staying at. The session itself went perfectly. We walked around and interacted with a bunch of different activities that were set up around the area.

We bonded over photography immediately, and I was so interested to learn about all the different sessions she’s done! Stacy is such an impressive photographer.

She was so down-to-earth and chill as we walked around Hayes Valley. I loved hearing about all of her fun recommendations about things to do in San Francisco!

Since we bonded so well over our love of art, we bounced ideas off of each other and ended up with some creative shots like this one with her shoe. I am so in love with them!

We totally vibed with a houseware store called Brooklinen. It’s not originally a vendor, but it was so cute that we asked if we could grab a few photos. They said yes, and boy, did we score!

One of my favorite shots from this session is this one! I love everything about this photo, from the way she holds up the book, to her smiling eyes!
