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.

2011 Favorites | Day 2| Bay Area photographer

December 27, 2011

Everything about this session was a dream. (You may even remember this gorgeous family from last years list of favorites!) This was the very end of the day, right as the sun was setting behind the mountains and baby Brody was starting to get tired. Everything just came together for the shot on the left. Definitely one of my favorites!

Fly Away | Walnut Creek photographer

August 26, 2011

Trisha is one of my favorite people. Not only is she a blast in a barrel, she’s an incredibly talented event planner. (You can look her up here.) And he didn’t even bat an eye when I asked her to hike up a hill with all of the goodies she brought for her shoot! Between the natural backdrop, the eye-catching accessories and the adorable baby, this shoot was a complete joy to be a part of.

Trisha, thank you for being such a wonderful friend and inspiration.

All grown up | Oakland Child Photographer

July 12, 2011

I absolutely love when I get to spend a day with repeat clients. It feels so much more like hanging out with good friends than anything close to actual work. Gabriela and her brood were no exception. I love seeing them! Plus, they let me take them to really great placesand have no problem planting themselves in the dirt for me. (For that, I’m extra grateful!)

For this session, we headed out to the incredibly gorgeous park next to the Berkeley Marina. Hello city views!

Gabriela, thank you for being such a good sport, a wonderful person and an incredibly awesome baby maker. If Dario goes missing, you’ll know where to find him!

Lauren + Dmitriy | Oakland engagement photographer

March 11, 2011

There are times that I leave a shoot and it takes every ounce of energy I have not to shout out loud or silently, but emphatically, fist pump from excitement. This was one of those sessions. Everything about it, from the love shared between Lauren and Dmitriy, to the incredibly winter sun, have me excited to share with the world.

Lauren and Dmitriy are so incredibly wonderful. They are filled with such a huge amount of love for each other and energy for life that simply being near them made me a happier person. And not only were they up for anything, they came to their shoot with incredible ideas of their own. Those balloons? Lauren’s idea. Bringing their deliciously smoosh faced pup? Also a brilliant Lauren idea. All around, they were a blast. And Lauren, you’re incredibly gorgeous, inside and out.

I have a feeling that their wedding will be filled so much genuine emotion that it will be nothing short of amazing. Plus, they are working with Angela from Lulu Events. And shes amazing herself.

There were so many incredible photos to choose from, but here are a few of my favorites.

Hello model material. Lauren, you really are amazingly gorgeous. For real.

Um, this is smoking hot. Smoking. Hot.

Sweet Baby Quinn | Oakland newborn photographer

January 30, 2011

In my opinion, Mike may be one of the most romantic husbands around. He contacted me at the end of last year. His wife was pregnant with their first child and he wanted to surprise her with something special for Christmas. I LOVE it. I’m a big fan of gifts in general, but I was tickled to be a part of one.

6 days after little Quinn made her debut I headed out to the Oakland Hills to capture her lovely images. Mike and Jenny were expecting some calm, sleepy baby shots, but Quinn absolutely had other ideas. She was awake and feisty for the entire 3 and half hours I spent with her. Watch out Mike, I’m pretty sure Quinn won’t ever have a problem speaking her mind.

I love how much of her big personality we were able to capture.

There is something about a photo of crying babies that just melts my heart. I promise we picked little Quinn up as soon as I snapped this capture.

And you look amazing Jenny, really and truly. I wish I looked that good 6 days after giving birth!
