This holiday season has got me thinking…
Aside from needing to spend more money to buy things we don’t really need or wouldn’t normally buy, why else are we working so hard to send out cards, wrap presents, decorate trees and make giant messes on Christmas morning? In the hustle and bustle of every day life, [...]
Yesterday’s commercial shoot was Part 2 for the Downtown Oakland’s YMCA.
(Click here to see my first shoot with the YMCA, which focused on YMCA’s amazing people and programs.)
I’ve always wondered what Boot Camp was like. (I’m more of a Yogini.) Now I know where to go if I were ever to do Boot Camp! The [...]
It was so awesome to go back to my old stomping grounds in San Francisco. Oh how I miss that city!
Today’s photoshoot was of Lisa, Danny and Sophie (21 months) who share my love for SF. This location was so cool — it had hills, a small park, alleyways, gorgeous architecture and great views.

Five months later, Lili has a new house and three beautiful boys (Sam, 2, Benji, 5 mos, and her hubby Eddie)! It was fantastic to see them again.

So what did we do? We changed locations and used the wet weather to our advantage!
I had Daina bring Gavin’s rain boots, raincoat and umbrella. She and Nate were prepared to let Gavin (23 months old) splash in the puddles and [...]
Although Ian has had several haircuts before, this was the first time he went to a non-children’s hair salon, which meant no sweet-talking kid stylist and no toy car to sit in! (Boy, was I worried!)
It was also the first time someone used an electric razor on his head! Ian hates loud noises, like hair [...]
The ultimate gift: a half-day shoot of Larry and Juana. (This shoot is called “A Day In The Life”, an exclusive session only given out less than a handful of times per year.)
Larry and Juana are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary!!!
When I asked them what was their secret to their marriage, Larry responded quickly and [...]
As a photographer who runs a business, I want my clients to be happy, so I shuffle through the hundreds upon hundreds of images I take at each photoshoot to find the perfect images for their gallery. (Okay, it’s more like thousand upon thousands! I shoot freely because I don’t want to miss a shot, [...]
