I have to just start by saying there are some people that I just can’t help but love. Sometimes I meet with a client and I’m pretty sure we must have been best friends in a previous life. That’s pretty much how I feel about Weezie.

I met Weezie at Lauren and Dmitriy’s wedding in June and I thought she was a barrel of fun even then. When she contacted me for a maternity session, I basically jumped for joy.  She and her husband wanted relaxed, lifestyle photos in their adorable home in San Francisco and a few sunset images at Crissy field with they equally adorable pup, Lila. (You know I’m a sucker for dogs, right?)  I’m pretty sure we nailed it.

Weezie, thank you for being a blast.  You are adorable and I can’t wait to meet your little girl.

Did I mention they live in a ridiculously cute neighborhood?  Ya, they do.

It seems that January has gotten the best of me. The post Christmas lull has made me a lazy blogger it would seem. So, forgive the fact that these are from November. I just couldn’t pass up posting them. As much as I love chasing the summer sun, I get a big thrill out of finding the elusive light in the winter.

I’ve known Aviva for about 6 years now. (Maybe longer?) And I just think she’s a doll. I was beyond excited when she contacted me about a mini session, and it wasn’t for nothing. She and Aaron spent the entire session cracking me up. And maybe rolling around on the grass. That seems to be a pretty standard request from me these days!

Thank you Aviva for being so much fun. And for helping me form a true an lasting obsession with Madewell.

The image on the right is an all time favorite. Isn’t she cute?

When my husband’s brother and his wife announced that they were expecting a little girl, I couldn’t have been more thrilled! I’ve shared before that I often dreamed a little girl and all the frilly and pink things associated with that…. I knew almost immediately that I’d hop on a plane the minute she was born so that I could take some photos for them. And take photos I did! I landed in LA and I don’t think I put my camera down for a minute.

Isn’t she a doll?

It melts my heart to be able to take photos for family. There is no pressure to be perfect. There is no weirdness if I ask you to hold your baby, naked, in the middle of a Christmas Tree Farm. There is no make-up, no wardrobe, and no expectations. It reminded me that I need to shot for myself more often. The raw love in these photos blows me away.

Thank you Patrick and Sarah for letting me come down and hold your little angel. She’s beautiful.

Today is the final day in my favorites series and I’m devoting it to all my favorites that I couldn’t squeeze into seven days. Thank you, to all of you, for helping me make 2011 such an amazing and fulfilling year. Here’s to 2012 being wonderful as well!

I’m so excited to include Carey in my week of favorites this year. Her wedding to Eric was an absolute joy to be a part of.  I’ve known Carey since right after college, when we were living in tiny city apartments, navigating our first real jobs and just trying to figure out life.  Since then, she’s only become a better person.  These images are extra wonderful to me because they showcase her style.  I love the veil.  I adore the lace dress.  And that expression?  That’s a Carey staple.

You are gorgeous, Carey.

Tomorrows the final post in the series for 2011! I can’t believe it. Stay tuned for something just a bit different.

This session, hands down, is a favorite. Maddy was a blast to shoot, a natural in front of the camera and an all around great girl. Plus, she’s gorgeous!

To me, this picture is perfection. Between the creamy skin, the amazing hair, the perfect angle and the “almost” expression, it just takes my breath away.
