Bay Area organizations do a lot of public-facing work, and their people deserve photos that show it. For CROP Organization in Oakland, I photographed the whole team on one backdrop with the same light, so every face on their website belongs together, and I covered their events too.

I also photographed Root & Rebound's 10th anniversary event in Oakland, from the printed program and check-in table to live music and the kids in the ball pit. That's what an event set from me looks like: the details, the people, and the moments in between.
