I know, I know. The blog has been SLOW. I’ve had a good excuse though… it’s been busy! So, I’m back and I bring pictures. And a promise a of fabulous posts to come.
About a month ago, I received an email from a local photographer looking for some photos of herself. I’ve mentioned it before, but I feel like I have to say it again. I love shooting other photographers. Not only is it flattering, but it’s just a lot of fun. It’s a chance for me to learn and observe someone else who does what I do. And in the end, I hope to make a new friend! (Andrea, those drinks are calling!)
What I loved most though, was that Andrea brought along not only her husband, but her adorable dog Sydney. Since we decided to meet in the hills of Livermore – I couldn’t have been more excited for ANYTHING on four legs that could sniff out snakes. ((shudder)) I don’t do snakes.
Andrea, thank you again for spending the afternoon with me. You are fabulous.




Seriously, aren’t they cute!?

It was such a warm day when I had a chance to meet Laura, her husband and their fabulous dog. And after a long (and rainy) winter, the golden rays of sun and the warm touch of the almost spring air were a wonderful combination. I was so thankful to finally be out in short sleeves!
And I was even more thankful when Laura agreed to meet me at the top of one of my favorite fields in Concord. It’s eye opening for me to capture couples, especially couples as in love and happy as these two. Seeing two people who are comfortable and content with each other makes my heart sing, and it reminds me why I do what I do.
Thank you Laura for trusting me to capture sweet Molly. Even if it meant climbing a mountain.

Thanks to the wonders of technology, this post is appearing while I’m 30,000 feet in the air, on my way to Las Vegas. (For geeky photography reasons. WPPI!) I couldn’t leave without just a little sneak peak at yesterday’s session.

Aren’t you excited about what’s to come!? I am!

Ms. Madison and my baby, Grayson, share a birthday. Because of this fact alone, I knew I would like her. I felt like Renee (her mother) and I have a bond. Labor, childbirth, recent first birthday parties…. We totally did those things together! (Even if we weren’t actually together.) I do also realize that I could just be a stalker wanting people to like me!
We got rained out of our first attempt at shooting Madison’s 1 year portraits, but luckily, we came up with an even better, and even more fun location for the make-up session. Canyon Creek Ranch. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. (And I’m holding myself accountable for taking Grayson there when he is old enough to get on a horse!)
I had a lot of fun with you guys, so thank you Renee and Jason, for being willing to follow me and my crazy antics. I think the photos we got were worth every mud covered shoe!

The last week has passed by in a blur of rich color, bright sun and glorious photos. It feels like spring in my small part of Northern California and I couldn’t be more excited. But my poor, neglected blog has certainly suffered while I’ve been out working my tail off! There are so many fabulous sessions to share, and I’m starting with one of my favorites.
Char and Dan have one large, furry, and yellow child in their home. Her name is Nacho, and she’s the bees knees. She’s not much for exercise, but I’d be willing to bet that she’s a big fan of belly rubs, napping, and cuddles with loved ones, which is my opinion, is better! As an added treat, she’s tech savvy, and even has her own twitter account.





A little behind the scenes look at how I pay my models. They all work for food!


Thank you Char, for letting me drag you, your husband, and your pup all through a soaking wet Danville! You guys are adorable. And I’d like to steal Nacho.

There must be something in the water in 2010. I’m getting a wave of newborns and LOVING it.
Baby E was one of the sweetest newborns I’ve ever seen. At just under 2 weeks old she was wide awake and taking in the world around her. Despite the white noise, rocking, feeding and cuddles this baby girls just wanted to soak in the day. She was so sweet and calm that it didn’t matter.




The day of her session was storming and wouldn’t you know that the clouds broke the moment she fell asleep. It’s was just spectacular.

As I come up on my child’s first birthday, I’m starting to reminisce fondly on my pregnancy. I really, really enjoyed being pregnant, feeling the kicks, bonding with the little life inside me, and just relishing in the fact that for that little while, I was all he had. I’m not quite ready to start thinking about more children for myself, but I’ve noticed that I’m really enjoying my recent maternity sessions. I find a pregnant woman to be incredibly beautiful, lush, and fascinating.
Rachel’s session was doubly fun because her daughter S was one vivacious and happy little girl. She was meant to be in front of a camera! We had a ball rearranging her living room to create an in home studio, jumping on the bed, and even basking in bubble baths, all for the sake of some gorgeous lifestyle images. Thank you Rachel, for letting me into your home and allowing me to get to know your beautiful family.
