It always amazes me that I’m as lucky as I am. I have GREAT clients. (And a fabulous job to boot.) Getting to shoot Amy and her family was like a dream. I mean, as a clothes horse myself, I really do love it when my clients have an interest in fashion. But I’m over joyed when their husbands do too! I love that John had almost as many accessories with him as Amy. Thank you John, for being a good sport. Seriously, you’re awesome.
Johnny, at 17 months, was an absolute riot. This kid is obsessed with trains. Obsessed. If I had known in advance that this kid could be first in line at the Thomas the Train convention, I may have steered them towards a different location. But as luck would have it, we could hear the trains passing us from our Benicia destination. Every 10 minutes or so we’d stop shooting and let Johnny point and yell and just generally be excited at the passing train cars. I loved it!
I had so much fun with you guys. And I just know our boys would have a budding Bromance.

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.

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 feel so lucky to know Amy and Matt. Not only are they wonderful friends, they are simply hilarious people. The first time I met their dog, Reggie, he was wearing bright pink striped leg warmers and a bandanna in support of the raging 80’s party being thrown. It may well have been the funniest pet presentation I’ve ever seen. But that’s not the only funny they’ve accomplished. Whenever I’m around them my mouth aches from all the laughter. I was so excited when they told me they wanted pictures with Reggie. And I was even more excited when they trusted me to pick the location.
It hasn’t been very pretty in the San Francisco Bay Area lately. It’s been cold, foggy and all around wet. So when the skies cleared and a partially sunny day was in the forecast, I jumped at the chance to get out in the fresh air. We all hoped in the car and headed up the Mt. Diablo to Old Borges Ranch and wandered around. Mud be damned! Thankfully Reggie managed to enjoy every minute of the open space around him. I, on the other hand, needed to tread lightly and walk at the speed of an osteoporotic 90 year old. Don’t laugh, I’ve been known to face plant in much less precarious settings…
Thank you Amy and Matt for spending the afternoon with me. I really enjoyed watching the fun unfold.
Seriously Amy, you are gorgeous.

The new year seems to have brought with it a flood of newborns…and I couldn’t be happier. What other subject would let me bend their sleepy bodies or wrap them in oversized knit hats? (Well, that’s probably for the best!) I just love being around babies.
Little Mia was 11 days of perfection. She tolerated costume changes, location changes, and even a few diaper changes all without making a peep.
We had a few seconds in between rain storms, but I could help but take a quick few outside.
And this is almost the same photo – but I just love it in black and white. So I’m sharing both!
Thank you S family for letting me capture sweet baby Mia.
