Hello, Hayes Valley

pancakeSTACKER Blog x Mawiyah Johnson Photography

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of working with Bay Area-based photographer, Mawiyah Johnson. We shot in my favorite neighborhood in the city, Hayes Valley, and it was the perfect Saturday afternoon. The sun was shining, a cute little neighborhood party was taking place, and once we were done snapping photos, I got to spend some time all to myself in Patricia's Green, with a latte in hand. Even though I shoot in Hayes time and time again, I'm always so excited to see the different ways different photographers capture the same spots.

Photos by: Mawiyah Johnson

Working with Mawiyah was so refreshing - as a former model, she was able to give me some posing-pointers and really made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. Sometimes I get a little nervous in front of the camera when I start working with a new photog, but Mawiyah's energy was so positive and uplifting, it didn't feel as if it was our first time shooting together. I love the shots Mawiyah captured, and all of the backdrops we found. If you're looking for a photographer to work with, do reach out to Mawiyah - she's a natural and will catch your inner spirit in all the photos she snaps!
