Your Sunset Story
A quiet evening you’ll be grateful you remembered
Life changes quickly.
The people we love change.
We change.
Your Sunset Story is a chance to step away from the usual pace for an evening, spend time together, and have this chapter photographed in the warm, beautiful sunset.
Whether you’re celebrating your family, your relationship, a milestone, a new beginning, or simply yourself, we’ll create photographs that feel like you.
Only a couple Sunset Stories are available each month.
Let’s capture this season.
You don’t need a special occasion to have photographs taken.
Maybe your family looks a little different these days.
Maybe you’re celebrating a new chapter.
Maybe you’ve been meaning to get in front of the camera yourself.
Whatever brought you here, we’ll keep the experience relaxed and natural.
We’ll walk, talk, laugh, explore, and let the evening unfold. I’ll give you gentle direction when you need it and plenty of space to be simply be together.
And we’ll make some beautiful photographs along the way.

"The photos came out amazing and your edits are exactly what I was looking for! Mario and I are so stoked about the way the photos turned out. You were the perfect photographer for this shoot. The day of the shoot, we ran into a few obstacles, but Traci kept such a positive attitude and helped me stay grounded without worrying about the little things. And honestly, there was nothing to worry about in the first place. The photos came out absolutely stunning! Even with my awkward posing, she made us look amazing. Can't recommend her enough! Thank you Traci!"

She is efficient with communication and we received a quick turnaround for our photos as well. We absolutely love our photos and highly recommend booking with Traci!"

"I had an opportunity to have 2 photo sessions with Traci! She did my wedding and maternity shoot! I am so happy with hot they turned out. Traci is very sweet and guided my husband and I with what to do. Traci was also available with any questions we had! She is so helpful and pleasant to work with. I am so glad I met Traci to take my photos and will definitely book future sessions with her!"

"Traci is a personal friend of mine. I saw her start this photography journey and knew from day one her talent and artistic eye would result in breath-taking photo sessions. When the time came for me to seek out engagement photos, there was no one else on my list I would rather capture this special moment in my life than Traci, and she did not disappoint. Arlett and I absolutely love our pictures. Thank you for your flexibility and the quick turn around, Traci. We love you!
—Steve and Arlett

"Traci is amazing! When you think about taking pics you think of the awkward poses you'll do but Traci makes you feel comfortable. She gives the best suggestions while also listening to what you want. She is the sweetest and if you have any doubts just look at her amazing photos! My family and I will be taking pics with her for while."

"I had a baby towards the end of November and Traci was able to take pictures of me and my family and even got the photos out to us before the Christmas holidays. She made me and my family feel super comfortable during the shoot and she was easy to work with. She was great with the kids too. Thank you Traci for taking the first photos of my newborn and as a family of 4!!

"The session went great! It was very natural, where we posed however we liked. But the images were above and beyond because Traci knew how to capture the best lighting, and background! She's also quick to reply and easy to talk to!"

I’ll take care of the rest.
Limited monthly availability
Why only a limited monthly availability?
I work a little differently.
With a full-time job and a family of my own, I’ve intentionally chosen to keep my photography calendar small.
I only take a couple Sunset Story sessions each month.
It gives me the space to be present for the people I photograph while keeping photography something I genuinely love.
Hi, I’m Traci.
I’m a Bay Area photographer, mama, and wife who loves finding beauty in the everyday.
I believe photographs should feel like you—not overly perfect, but full of the little moments you’ll want to remember.
I’ll guide you when you need it, keep things relaxed, and give space to simply be yourself.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me with a cup of tea, spending time with my four girls, or exploring somewhere new.
I’m so glad you’re here.
