Why I love shooting in North Park
North Park is murals, coffee, and 30th Street. My sessions here are almost all engagement or couple sessions — I use the Ray Street arts corridor, the Observatory marquee, and the alley behind Waypoint Public for the best texture in the city.
On the light: Late-afternoon light bounces down 30th Street like a corridor and turns everything the color of honey for about 25 minutes.
Logistics worth knowing: Ray Street murals change every few months — I re-scout the corridor before every session so we don't shoot in front of a wall that's been painted over.

Landmarks & neighborhoods
Couples and families I've worked with in North Park love landmarks like North Park Theatre, Balboa Park, Observatory North Park, and neighborhoods including North Park, University Heights, Normal Heights. Each brings its own texture to a session — historic charm, ocean breeze, or family-friendly open space. Tell me which neighborhood you live in or where you got engaged and I'll build the shoot around it.
