San Francisco

I’m not really your typical traveler. I prefer to stay cozy at home than go out, eat at the same restaurants over exploring new ones, and in college, I could get by eating the same spaghetti for weeks in a row. I’m the exact opposite of someone with “wanderlust” and those who know me probably aren’t surprised.

Put a camera in my hand though, and I love exploring. I’m excited by the thrill of seeing a new place with a fresh perspective, or even an old place with a new lens. After my engagement sessions with Chris and Katie, I took a couple days to just explore on my own. This is one of my favorite perks of my job, and when I get to walk the streets of a new place, I’m reminded of the joy in simple things. I tried to capture the essence of San Francisco through these photos, and I put quite a bit of miles on my feet in the process.

Perhaps my favorite part of taking pictures in a new place is doing it without any time restrictions, without a set agenda, and with the goal of just seeing cool things. Just shooting what interests me is what got me into photography to begin with, and I’m convinced it’ll keep me in it. I’m thankful for photography, and through it I appreciate the world around me.
