Sunset at the Golden Gate | San Francisco Photographer

January 31, 2012

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.

The baby with the bow | Walnut Creek Photographer

November 21, 2011

Last year, I had the incredible pleasure of shooting another photographer and her family. You may remember the session, because really, who doesn’t love a baby. In a basket. (We all do, right?)

You can imagine my glee when Ashley contacted me for a mini session this year. Now Karter is almost 2 and an absolute doll. I adored getting to see her again.

And thank you Ashley for including the giant flower. It was perfect!

California Ranching | Martinez maternity photographer

July 27, 2011

Melissa and her husband have a magnificently moving story. She’s a hardworking doctor. He’s a local fireman. Together, they radiate love like crazy.

I was so excited to get a call from Melissa about her maternity photos. Not only did she sound truly sweet and charming, she started off by asking me if it would be ok to include her chickens in her photo shoot. I wouldn’t be lying if I told you that there was some fist pumping going on in the background. Chickens! Maternity photos! To me, that equals a recipe for some amazing photos. Now, imagine my surprise and delight when I showed up to find out that not only were there chickens, but Melissa and her husband had goats. And sheep! And more than a few vintage cars! I was a photographer in heaven. And all I could think of during my time with them was how lucky their little boy is going to be. Imagine growing up with that many animals! And how cool are you when you’re a 13 year old boy and your dad picks you up from school in his classic Cadillac?

Thank you Melissa for such a wonderful session. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you! And I can’t wait to meet you little guy!

Hello gorgeous! Melissa, you make a STUNNING pregnant woman.

See! Chickens!

Cherry Blossoms | Walnut Creek portrait photographer

June 1, 2011

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!

A morning at the park | Bay Area family photographer

April 20, 2011

I was so excited to see Stephanie and her family again. The last time we met little Reese was still snuggling up in mama’s belly. Now, she’s a cute as can be baby with a big personality.

Stephanie, I had a blast wondering the hills with you and your little ones. I can’t wait to see you again later this year!

A day on the farm | Walnut Creek family photographer

November 22, 2010

Erin may be the funniest person I know. Seriously. And she’s a hitter. So if she’s telling a joke, either brace for the punch line impact, or get out of her way! And that cracks me up even more. I don’t think I’ve ever spend any other hour of my life laughing as hard as I did at their session.

Now Jackie, at 2 and a half is pretty much just adorable. She thought the chickens were her new BFFs. And she wanted to tell me all about Thomas the Train. It’s a good thing I’m well versed in the Tank Engine and his many, many friends.

Thank you Erin for being up at the crack of dawn to meet me. I’m so glad we missed the rain!
