As you’ll soon see in these posts, my portrait sessions are not the same old same old. I work hard to make sure you are relaxed and able to be YOURSELF at our portrait session. It’s so critical for me to get the real you. Because anyone who knows you knows the difference between your real smile and your fake smile. And I’m ninja trained to spot the difference to help you avoid it at all costs…and that generally involves laughter, so be warned!
How would you like to grow up in a house where rabbits wander in the garden, California Poppies bloom, and the love between Mom and Dad is so tangible you can feel it like the breeze on a warm summer day? Well, this is the life destined for baby Sierra Skye and it’s more beautiful […]
The Cardin family holds a very special place in my heart. Nicole’s daughter Rachel is a previous bride of mine. I photographed both her and Fernando’s engagement and their wedding a few years ago. I remember a certain sense of warmth that surrounded me on that day; it was something extra special. I also knew […]
Stephanie and Travis sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage!
Christmas is the season of miracles and a time to count your blessings. And so I find it very fitting to share this session with you today, a short four days before the Christmas holiday is here. It all started as a love story between a boy and a girl. Then came their wedding day […]
It is such an amazing feeling when a bride and groom come back to me after their wedding and commission me to take photographs for them again. I shot Jim and Erinne’s wedding in 2009 at the Swedenborgian church in San Francisco. Then when they had their first baby, they had me out to Davis […]
When Josh contacted me, he was looking for a photographer to capture his upcoming family reunion in Bodega Bay. They were the lucky thirteen, and indeed lucky to have each other. These guys were so sweet and welcoming. I could clearly see all the love this family had for each other very quickly. For the […]
Stephanie was a bridesmaid in Rachel and Fernando’s wedding, so you can imagine how excited I was when she called me about family pictures as a present to her mother from her and her siblings. From the time I spent with Stephanie at Rachel’s wedding I knew she was good people. So naturally, I was […]
I know it sounds cliché, but it really does seem like not too long ago I was putting together my review post for 2010. And yet, as we all know, time holds still for no man (or woman for that matter). And so here we are, another year passed. And what a crazy, wonderful, joy […]
They say the painter’s house is not always freshly painted and the projects at the construction guy’s house are never complete. And now, I really understand what that means. I was looking through images of my own children and realized that while I had captured many events and happenings in their lives, it had been […]
Today is September 11th, a day that will be remembered forever around the world and here at home in the United States. The tragedy that happened on that day will live in many of our hearts for as long as we are alive. It will be captured and documented in history so that once those […]
