The decor, the food, the adorable details were handmade, home-cooked and made with love. Move over, Martha Stewart!
Today’s San Francisco Bay Area Event Photography was for a birthday party of a sweet little girl whom I met this Spring.

My good friend, Ivan, whom I’ve known for almost 20 years tied the knot to the love of his life this Labor Day.
Their wedding was decked out to the nines with details at every turn, DIY crafty delight and raw emotion.
Both Irene and Ivan looked marvelous, as expected, but the most attractive “accessory” they [...]
I attended and photographed a very special event this past weekend. It was a birthday party of my very own little monkey who turned 4!
It was a challenge to come up with the perfect theme because Ian wasn’t in love with any particular activities or sports — unless doing things-you’re-not-supposed-to is an activity!
So [...]
Alas, I have more time to post photos from Ria and Jose’s wedding 2 days ago. [Click here to see part 1, their Old Hollywood shots.]
This wedding was a photographer’s DREAM. Take all the fun things to shoot — the ceremony, wedding details, and styled bride and groom portraits — and voila, my wedding shoot [...]
This morning’s wedding had a vintage-inspired theme (ooh la la) and involved a very sweet couple, Ria and Jose. They are also former clients of mine, so they are smart and have impeccable taste in art too (hee hee)!
Out of sheer excitement, I went through all the wedding images this afternoon. I even skipped lunch [...]
Last weekend, I shot a double birthday party for 2 sisters who are both lovable and darling, but have very different personalities. I can tell this even at the ages of 1 and 3!
It is such a privilege to watch them grow. I saw noticeable changes in the girls since their last shoot, especially for [...]
On Christmas Day, Santa brought my 5 year old daughter a white Zhu Zhu Pet that she named Miss White. (The name wasn’t very inventive, but hey — she’s five!) Melia was so happy that Santa “was watching” to know she had good behavior this year and that he read her October letter that stated [...]
You may remember the e-session of my gorgeous couple, Oren and Kelley, from August. Well, on Friday night, they tied the knot!
As a reflection of their love, they kept their wedding sweet, simple and fun by getting married on the beach… barefooted!
The Details
Even in the dark, the bride’s bracelet would sparkle!
Of course the boulder [...]
For Psi and Helen, it was love at first sight. Some of you skeptics may not believe in that, but if you met these two, you would know that soul mates do exist!
I truly believe you can meet thousands of people or just a handful, and you can be of any age… When you find [...]
Today was Rodrigue Molyneaux Winery’s “Taste of Tuscany” event. RM Winery is a family-owned boutique winery in Livermore, CA.
(Check out their new website. It is awesome. And the photos are marvelous too! *wink wink*)
It was a balmy Summery day…. a nice day to hang out outside with a glass of wine, great food and great [...]
Derek.
I was the first to see him after he was born (other than his parents, of course). I loved holding him when he was a baby and was always thrilled to babysit him.
He is my nephew, and he turned 7 years old today! WOW. Seven!
Here are a few photos from his party today…

Deloitte held its annual “Toast of the Town” event last night at the acclaimed 5A5 Steak Lounge in San Francisco.
The people, the speeches, the venue and the food were all fantastic. It was a privilege to shoot this event!
Here are a few images to share from last night. Enjoy!

Oh, the Food!
I’ll have to [...]
So in my “extra time” (whatever that means), I did an experiment with my rings. Please disregard how they haven’t been cleaned in about a year and the table I placed them on is scratched up & dusty! Who has time to dust?!!
My experiment consisted of shooting my rings in terrible light and seeing what [...]
Two years.
That’s how long Melia waited to have a Princess Party!
Yep, she started asking for a princess party since she was 3 years old. I had an art themed party planned for her 3 year old birthday, and then we skipped the big party thing last year as part of my parent strategy of [...]
Awwww… I am so touched. The moms in my son’s playgroup threw me a baby shower!
Since I move as smooth as a Weeble Wobble (do those toys even exist anymore?), I brought my camera, but only goofed around for a few minutes…

The kids loved the bagels, especially the chocolate chip ones!
