It was a sunny and surprisingly warm today… it was hard to believe it is still Winter!
My family and I spent the afternoon in Oakland.
We ate lunch at Fentons and of course had a banana split ice cream sundae! Then we strolled down Piedmont Ave.
I felt so artistically inspired today!
Now that we moved to the [...]
His second haircut ever.
Just getting started… Daniella dampened Ian’s hair and combed it.
I don’t know how she does this! Daniella must have a magic touch because Ian sits still for her.
Ian would bat my hands away if I were doing this! And trust me, I’ve tried several times to cut his hair myself. Call me [...]
Here’s my littlest. Ian. He is 17 months old.
My biggest is Lawrence, my husband. He really is one big kid! He’s playing Xbox 360 right now. Need I say more?
Ian is playing with bristle blocks. It’s like the new Legos, except you can build it from all sides. It’s super cool. My almost-4-year [...]
[Note: This is not my usual client Sneak Peek. This blog post has pretty much ALL of the photos since this was a mini-shoot.]
This is 4-month old Matthew. Cute as a button, isn’t he? He is like a teeny laid back surfer dude. He just hung out with us, completely content, and watched the World [...]
I just don’t get it when parents spend a lot of moolah buying their toddler toys when their favorite playthings always seem to be things that cost a buck, or better yet, they’re free because it is a part of some common household item!
Ian’s new cheap thrill are stickers. These stickers come in a book [...]
One of my favorite couples in the World is Andrew and Mike! That’s why they are Mia’s Godparents.
I’ve known Andrew since I was 10 years old. We both grew up in MA, our fathers were childhood classmates and best friends, my dad was his Godfather, and his father became my Godfather after my dad passed [...]
I took a “Girl Trip” this weekend to Los Angeles. Just me and my girlie-pie.
It was my first time leaving my baby Ian (he’s 17 mos old). When I thought about it, it made me tear up. Good thing I was distracted with back-to-back activities and people to see! My other posts (”The Godfathers” & [...]
I spent the afternoon with a bunch of 3 and 4 year old girls — oh, I mean fairy princesses! My very own Melia had been looking forward to Grace’s birthday party all week!
Here are some photos I took just for fun.
Keep in mind that these are indoor photos WITHOUT FLASH. Yep, I accidentally grabbed [...]
I went to San Francisco to hang out with my good friend, Ivan – a pulmonary doctor by day, art collector and travel photographer by night.
This is what’s called “A Day In The Life” where a photographer follows someone (or a couple) around for a few hours and basically captures their life on camera. I [...]
Mommy Flory is a phenomenal woman who changed the lives of many and inspired everyone else!
She is someone who has dedicated her life to helping others — not because she has to, but because she wants to.
She has been a public school teacher in one of the toughest neighborhoods and now owns and manages homes [...]
I’m turning a new leaf in ‘09. I am now a believer in Photoshop!
For most of ‘08, I did what I call “light editing” on client galleries: necessary cropping, a bump in saturation, tweaking of contrast. I never believed in changing the facts — and still don’t — such as removing a tag or creating [...]
I did a 5 minute photoshoot of my munchkin, who seems to be my main photoshoot subject this week. Since I’ve taken the month of January off from doing photoshoots (so I can focus on marketing), I find myself picking up my camera and shooting at whatever and whomever gets in my path. Too bad [...]
I know this is a photography blog, but I can’t resist showing off some of Melia’s drawings. I think they’re so cute… I’m going to make t-shirts with some of them.
Second to talking (tee hee), 3-year old Melia’s favorite activity is drawing. Here are some of my recent favorites…
A stripey cat
A Christmas tree
Santa on his [...]
