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.

I am truly honored to have Lauren and Dmitriy’s wedding included in Smitten Magazine, Issue #4. Smitten is one of my absolute favorite new wedding magazines for the gorgeous inspiration, incredible design ideas and just overall attention to detail. Lauren and Dmitiriy’s feature can be found on page 126.

It always makes my heart happy when I get a call from a previous client. I feel like I get these amazing little glimpses into so many wonderful peoples’ lives and I always want to know how everyone is doing after our shoots. (To all my wonderful clients, I’m serious! Send me updates. I want to see your family grow, your babies start to walk, and any and all new pets that join your nest.)
You may remember Laura and Ross from their shoot with me last year. I was so incredibly excited to hear from Laura and thrilled for them that they were expecting a little girl. Getting to spend the morning with such wonderful new parents who are simply overwhelmed with love for their new child, exhausted, generally just in awe amazes me. Children are such a gift. And I’m reminded of their greatness every time I’m around them.
Lauren and Ross, thank you for allowing me into your family for a day. I truly enjoyed seeing you both so happy.
And of course the pups had to get in on the action. Plus, I’m just a sucker for a cute, squishy dog face.

Every year I hit the middle of October and feel so incredibly happy to do what I do. It is right smack dab in the middle of the holiday photo rush and I just adore seeing all of my favorite clients (and some new faces) in front of my camera. I get a chance to see some of the newborn faces looking decidedly less baby like and some of special babies who’ve bloomed into toddlers. I love every second of it!
Last weekend, one of my favorite clients, Lindsy, brought her brood out for a mini session. You all may remember a Lindsy from either her ridiculously cute maternity session, or possibly from her wonderfully real newborn session last December. Aren’t they cute?
I have a million things on my to do list today and I was starting to feel just a touch overwhelmed. But I had to stop for a second, enjoy the fact that I get an opportunity to be doing what I LOVE surrounded by incredibly gorgeous, fun people – and put these guys up on the blog. This morning, I got to snuggle and love a perfect 10 day old baby girl. Friday, I’m capturing a senior session with one of the most hilarious 18 year olds I’ve ever met. And Saturday, I’m shooting a wedding with another incredibly talented photographer. My life may be chaotically busy these day, but really, life is good.

It always bums me out that we don’t have more of a Cherry Blossom season here in San Francisco. And this year, with our freaky rainy-to-100-degree weather changes, we had even less of a season! Thankfully, I was able to convince Michelle to meet me out by the 5 cherry blossom trees in my area for a quick (And incredibly early morning!) session a few months back. Have I mentioned how much I love telling people to meet me at dawn? OK, maybe it’s slightly evil, but I love it. And really, the light doesn’t get much better then when you can watch the sun cresting over the mountains. Michelle and Matt, thank you so much for being such good sports!
