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!
Scott’s brother was married last year and I was their wedding photographer (you can see that post here). So, when Scott’s son needed senior pictures taken, he immediately called me (I LOVE when that happens). And of course I was up for some urban and outdoor fun with his oldest boy. Chase is a little […]
You may remember Logan from his work on the North City Church promotion piece we did back in November (you can see that post here). During that session we also did a mini-portrait shoot. When Mom saw the images, she decided that I should be the one to shoot Logan’s senior portraits! So we headed […]
This is Christina. She is a talented cook, a wine connoisseur, a beautiful and stylish woman, an excellent listener, a kind and generous soul, and most importantly…a very good friend of mine. After harassing her about outdated Facebook images, we decided on an “anytime” portrait session to get some up-to-date pictures. I wanted to show […]
Katrina is such a beautiful, warm, kind and talented woman…for real. I first met her when she contacted me to take portraits of her gorgeous little family back in November, (you can see that post here). After spending time capturing her family connections, Katrina decided she really needed to have a separate session to capture […]
Maria grew up in Sacramento, and when her work presented her with an opportunity to move to the Pacific Northwest, she kissed her family goodbye to pursue her dreams working in politics. The family she left behind (her mother, brother and step-father) missed her greatly…especially her mother. And on a very regular basis, Maria’s mom […]
There are only a couple hours left until the New Year here in Northern California, and I’ve spent the majority of the day going through all of the images I took this year. I just posted my 2010 wedding recap (you can find that post here) and decided to keep the flow going and blog […]
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage, right? It’s as natural as the lyric suggests, just like this beautiful family. Jonathan and Julie met and fell in love, got married, had two beautiful children, and then they called me to take pretty pictures! Oh wait, that last part […]
One of the nice things about keeping my business boutique is that it gives me the ability to spend more time with my clients getting to know them better. In my experience, when people are comfortable with you and feel like they are connecting, they are so much more relaxed for photographs. This is why […]
Logan was such a sport for getting up so very, very early to do the Unite Everything 4 promo shoot; I really felt compelled to show him some appreciation. So we took advantage of the time (and that gorgeous light) and snuck in a mini-portrait session. The mood of the Unite Everything shoot was pretty […]
I adore the family unit. There’s something about watching the subtle ways in which people who love each other interact that is just so interesting and beautiful. When Katrina contacted me to take portraits of her and her family, I was completely enamored with the sense of comfort that she had in the midst of […]
