Women

                                                      We are all differently beautiful in our own ways.
                                     Similar to the many differently beautiful San Francisco homes.
 
This project allows me to not only photograph the two together; but shows the beauty in both. 

                                  If you would like to be apart of my photo series, please contact me.
