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!?

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.

I was so excited for this photo shoot. Sheila and I met about 4 years ago when we were planning our weddings. And her wedding, hands down, was killer. In fact, if you happen to have the same fascination with all things white and fluffy like I do, you may have seen her on the show Whose Wedding is it Anyway. She’s just that cool.
Sheila contacted me a few months ago to set up a shoot when she was back in California for the Thanksgiving holiday. (Can you tell I’m behind on my blogging!?) She has a close family and they all wanted to take pictures. It was a blast. And, thanks to Sheila, I now have a lovely new location in Palo Alto.
Thank you all for braving the cold with me!
Isn’t she just a ham? I’m CONVINCED this one is going places. With a personality as big as hers, she’s bound to succeed!

Ack, I’m so incredibly behind with my blogging. I owe a big, huge, heartfelt thank you to all of my clients who have made my holiday season extra busy, and also extra fun. I’ve enjoyed every single one of you, and I’m just sorry I can’t get all of your pretty faces on the blog at once!
Speaking of tardy sessions, I think Katie’s session was almost a month ago…
I had so much fun shooting this session. Seriously, it was a blast. Katie initially contacted me to shoot her family along with her brother and his family a few months ago. I just had a feeling that it would be fun. First of all, Katie is hilarious. Her sense of humor clearly shows through when she writes and I couldn’t wait to meet her. Let me just say, she didn’t disappoint! Secondly, we have very similar hair cuts. So, she gets extra points for being so cool and trendy. I just think there are some people you just click with. As an added bonus, I got to meet her family and their little boy W. He was a doll and pretty much the polar opposite of little S. I love watching the family dynamics at work.
Thank you both for dragging your families out to come and spend some time with me. And I’m sorry it has taken me so long to get your session on the blog!
How hilarious are these pictures. S is a bulldog and she wasn’t going to take any little boys in her space! And while she may be trying to push W out of the frame, she does it with a smile. I still crack up thinking about it. She’s nothing if not a ham!

One of my absolute favorite things about becoming a photographer is capturing newborns. Since having my son and really understanding how quickly those first few days/weeks/months truly go, I just cherish getting to spend time with brand new babies. I love seeing their flaking new skin, the tiny tiny hands and feet and just seeing how amazing these little humans are. When my good friend Jenni asked me to take pictures of her baby Blythe, I was not only flattered, I was excited!
Jenni and her husband have wanted a baby for a long time and little baby B is just perfect. It melts my heart to see them with her.
Here are just a few shots of little baby Blythe sleeping peacefully. She couldn’t have been a better baby!
This dress was special to Jenni, so we took a few shots of it. I thought Blythe looked so cute!
