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!?

This little girl is a pretty lucky baby. Her parents are funny, really funny. The love they have for each other and for her already is indescribable. And they may not be a baby out there whose parents are more excited to me her.
Kori and Brian met at a party in college and from the details I’ve heard, they knew almost immediately that they were meant for each other. And really, I’m not sure I’ve met a couple more perfect for each other. From the jokes they told to the stories one would start and the other would finish, they just had a way about them. They were game for anything and everything I asked them to do, and never complained when I stuck them waist deep in wet grass. (I love it when clients trust me!) We dodged rain, dark clouds and freezing wind, but I am so excited about what we got. And Kori, you are simply stunning. You make a gorgeous pregnant lady!
Thank you Kori and Brien for being game for anything and everything. I had a blast in our makeshift flower patch.

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.

I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again, bu I have the BEST clients. I feel so lucky!
Sophie and her husband are Bay Area Natives and flew all the way back to California just to see me. (Ok, I fudged that just a little bit. They were back in town to see their families for the holidays…) But I promise you, I was just as flattered that they picked me for their family photos. As I’m sure you can tell, there is some serious style happening in this family! I had so much fun watching little Izzie come out of her shell and really have a good time wandering around the Stanford Campus. There is just something about a little girl in her sunday best running around in the leaves that makes me giddy.
Thank you Sophie for letting me drag two Cal Alums through the Stanford Campus.
I’m sure that was hard for you!

When I planned these sessions, I stuck an early slot in there genuinely thinking that I’d have to beg and plead someone to get up that early on a cold fall morning. Thankfully I never had to do that! Alison jumped on the chance to join me at 8am. I was so pumped to have such and awesome family to shoot first thing. And don’t let the pleasant smiles fool you, these three are hilarious.
Here is just a quick sneak peak from the mini session:




Thank you Alison for being just a little bit crazy and meeting me so early in the morning!
