When my husband’s brother and his wife announced that they were expecting a little girl, I couldn’t have been more thrilled! I’ve shared before that I often dreamed a little girl and all the frilly and pink things associated with that…. I knew almost immediately that I’d hop on a plane the minute she was born so that I could take some photos for them. And take photos I did! I landed in LA and I don’t think I put my camera down for a minute.
Isn’t she a doll?
It melts my heart to be able to take photos for family. There is no pressure to be perfect. There is no weirdness if I ask you to hold your baby, naked, in the middle of a Christmas Tree Farm. There is no make-up, no wardrobe, and no expectations. It reminded me that I need to shot for myself more often. The raw love in these photos blows me away.
Thank you Patrick and Sarah for letting me come down and hold your little angel. She’s beautiful.

This session, hands down, is a favorite. Maddy was a blast to shoot, a natural in front of the camera and an all around great girl. Plus, she’s gorgeous!
To me, this picture is perfection. Between the creamy skin, the amazing hair, the perfect angle and the “almost” expression, it just takes my breath away.

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!

This past weekend was my husband’s company picnic. I brought my camera along because, well, that’s just what I do. I expected to get plenty of my child with balloons and face paint. Maybe a few of him and my darling husband. And while I did get those, I just couldn’t help by sneak in a few shots of the lovely Wendy VonSosen’s daughter, Maddy.
This is just how the stylish Maddy dressed. For a company picnic. Maybe it has something to do with her mom being a fabulous photographer? If only I could redo high school with her style. (And her hair!)
So, this is what I got in 5 minutes as the fog rolled in over the hills, with a yellow balloon animal bunny sticking out of my jeans pocket.

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!

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!
