If you own a winery or vineyard in Napa, Sonoma, Calistoga, or anywhere in Northern California wine country and you’re looking for natural, honest photography that showcases the heart of your place, you’re in the right spot.

I’m a Napa Valley winery photographer who works with families, small business owners, and estate managers to create relaxed, organic, natural light portraits and brand visuals. From your family to your wine label, I help you tell your story through down-to-earth, beautiful images that reflect your life and legacy.

Meet the O’Briens of O’Brien Estate Winery, Napa

Last fall I spent the afternoon with the owners of O’Brien Estate Winery, a boutique family-run winery in Napa Valley. As a Napa Valley winery photographer who works exclusively with natural light, I’m drawn to places with soul and this one had it all: rows of vines glowing at golden hour, an old dog ambling through the property, and a family that clearly loves what they do.

The vibe? Casual, beautiful, and real. Just like their wine and just like their story.

Why Natural Light Matters for Winery Photography

When you’re photographing a vineyard, a winery estate, or a family in Napa Valley, natural light is everything.

It’s what brings out the warmth in the wine barrels, the softness in the vines at golden hour, and the real emotion on your family’s face. As a Napa Valley winery photographer, I work exclusively with natural light because it keeps things relaxed, honest, and true to the setting. There’s no flashing lights or setups that feel out of place, we use the light your land gives us.

That’s especially important when photographing:

  • Multi-generational winery families who want a more timeless, editorial look
  • Estate animals like dogs, chickens, or geese who move around freely
  • Branding photos that need to feel authentic—not overly posed or staged
