Ophelia + Vincent | Engagement | Potrero Hill

I think Ophelia and Vincent had the right idea when they changed their mind about location choices for their engagement session. I usually advise couples to select a place that is special and unique to both of them. Originally we had planned to visit the usual SF spots, but decided to shoot in and around their home, which was in the Potrero Hill area.

I love the little dudes haircut, and if I had a son, I'd definitely have him sporting a mohawk.
