When Melissa called me to tell me Baby Oliver had made an early appearance, I was so incredibly excited to meet the little guy. Melissa and Ron were so much fun during their maternity session, I was overflowing with anticipation for this shoot. And I was not disappointed. I had such a good time seeing how much these two took to being parents. There is so clearly an amazing amount of love in that house. It made my heart happy.
Melissa, your little guy is an absolute angel and it was truly a joy to meet him.

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!

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.

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!

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!

There are some people in the world that are sickeningly photogenic. They have no bad angles. They have perfect skin. They really just glow. I myself am not one of these rare, perfect, creatures. My goofy self requires lots of retouching! Lucky for me, Joslyn is almost disgustingly photogenic. I’m pretty sure a bad photo of her has never been taken! See, we’re friends on Facebook. I’ve seen photos of her. I knew she was gorgeous. But I really had no idea.
But really, I should have known that anyone who names their child Grayson is one of the coolest people on the planet. I mean, I did. So, I swear it’s cool.
Our day couldn’t have been more fun. And for all of your East Coasters with you perfect fall colors – I have now found a solution! Grapes. Perfectly fall colored vineyards are the new West Coast solution to seasonal colors. I love it. (Although, Domain Carneros is gorgeous any time of year!)
I’m pretty sure J should model.
Thank you D family for spending a Sunday with me. (And trusting me when I asked you to stand new the stinky wood!) I had a blast!
