01
Weddings & Elopements
From big-day bashes to tiny courthouse vows to adventure elopements in the middle of nowhere, I’m here for all of it ~ the happy tears, the crazy dance moves, the hike-in-your-dress-because-why-not energy. Big or small, planned for a year or decided last Tuesday, let’s tell your story.
02
Branding Photography
From polished headshots to full personal brand shoots for founders, executives, creative professionals, and wellness practitioners who need to look as good as they are at their job, I capture what makes you different ~ the expertise, the energy, the thing that sets you apart from everyone else in your field. Whether you’re updating a LinkedIn photo or building an entire visual identity, let’s create images that actually sound like you.
03
Family & Maternity
Family, newborns, and maternity sessions ~ I’m here for it all. These are the years you’ll want to remember exactly as they were ~messy and impossibly sweet. Let’s capture your family (or your growing one) as it really is.
Your photographer
Hi, I’m Becca.
Based in Oakland. Working across the Bay Area for over a decade. I’ve photographed 200+ weddings and elopements, worked with founders and executives from startups to established brands, and documented families at every stage of the beautiful, ordinary chaos of being human together.
My work lives at the intersection of editorial photography, fine art, and photojournalism. I show up, I pay attention, and I make images of who you already are ~ at your most alive, your most real, your most you.
Simple. Intentional. Yours.
01
The conversation
We start with a real discussion about your goals, your fears, your timeline, and what success looks like. No generic intake forms.
02
The plan
Together we map out locations, looks, timing, and shot priorities — so when shoot day arrives, you can focus on being present instead of directing.
03
The session
Relaxed, fun, and surprisingly fast. Most clients tell me it was nothing like they expected — in the best way. I know when to guide and when to get out of the way.
04
The Delivery
Your gallery arrives with carefully selected, fully edited images ready to use. For branding clients, that includes guidance on how and where to use each shot.
Frequently asked questions
01/
What should I wear?
Think about how you want to be perceived — and dress slightly more intentionally than an average workday without losing authenticity. For most wellness practitioners this means clean, simple clothing in your brand colors or neutral earth tones. If you wear a specific uniform or work clothes — a yoga outfit, a clinical jacket — those should absolutely be included. Bring two to three options.
02/
Can we shoot in my treatment room or studio?
Always yes — and I strongly prefer it. Your actual space is where your clients will actually be. Photographing you there makes the unfamiliar familiar, reduces the anxiety new clients feel about trying something new, and communicates your environment in a way no rented studio can.
03/
Can we also shoot outdoors?
Absolutely — and for many wellness practitioners it’s a wonderful choice. Natural light is the most flattering and authentic light source for wellness photography. We’ll choose outdoor locations that feel intentional and aligned with your brand — not generic, but specific to your practice and the Bay Area environment that is part of your story.
04/
I’m worried about feeling awkward. Can you help with that?
Believe or not, most of the faces you see on this webpage had the same concern. The good news is that I consider half of my job is making you feel comfortable and relaxed. Brand clients consistently report the their session experience felt easy and fun, even the ones who were nervous beforehand.
05/
How long does it take to receive the photos?
The turnaround time for receiving your photos is typically 1-2 weeks, depending on the scope of the project. I then have a gallery ready for you to choose your selections. From the time I receive your selections it takes 1-2 weeks. I ensure each image is carefully edited to meet our high standards. If you’d like me to choose the final images then it is only 1-2 weeks.
06/
Do I need a model client for in-session photos?
Not necessarily — but it helps for certain shots. A willing friend, a colleague, or an established client who’s comfortable being photographed can make these images feel more real. I can also work with just you and use creative angles that suggest the presence of a client without one actually being there. We’ll figure out the right approach during our planning call.
