Is this an engagement shoot? Nope.
A newlywed shoot? Nah.
Esther and Richard have been married for 9 years! They are adorable when they are together. There is laughter, jokes and stories… and don’t forget the oodles of sports and beer!
Look how cute they are…

The Entire Fam
posted part 1 yesterday because I projected it would take a long time to go through the images from my out-of-town shoot.
This is so typical of me with photography… I ended up staying up late last night to finish going through all the images from Zac’s newborn shoot and worked on editing them today when [...]
One of my favorite couples in the World were recently blessed with THE most amazing “gift”: a new baby! It makes my eyes water just thinking about how amazing Mike and Andrew’s life will change with their new addition of Baby Zac. I know in my heart that Zac’s life will be a great one [...]
For those of you who think you need to change locations when you book your next shoot with me, think again.
Today’s lifestyle shoot with the F. Family proves you don’t need to change a thing. And why not?
Because everything else has changed: you, your kids, your outfits (hopefully!), and even elements at your [...]
In finalizing the A. Family’s newborn gallery, I discovered a favorite that I forgot to share with you. Here it is!
Whisper In My Ear
Twins share so much, even from the time they are babies. I love the closeness of Gil and Greg here, so I made it a tight shot to keep the feeling warm [...]
I took little Zachary’s 1 year portraits last year. He was one of the most smiley, happy babies I had ever met!
(Click here to see what Zach looked like last year!)
He has grown so much since last year that I almost didn’t recognize him when he came to the door… almost.
He is still very smiley [...]
Today’s Photoshoot Objective: Take photos of a 12-person group on-location in January.
The Challenges: 1) It is a cold and foggy Winter morning in the Bay Area. We’re talking really dense fog! 2) It is a large group and I don’t want all the photos to be posey-posey shots.
Hmmmm…..
The Solution:
1) Give structure to the group shots [...]
Today I met Jami who is my Tribute To Moms Contest winner! YAY, Jami!!!
Being a parent — especially a mom — is quite a tough job! Of course it is truly rewarding and can even bring your ability to love and feel loved to a whole new level you never thought was possible. But there [...]
I’ve been preaching this for a long time, so those of you following my blog will think I sound like a broken record….
Beautiful portrait photography can be found in unexpected places. It is mostly about lighting, not the location itself.
Today’s photoshoot was at…. you’ll never guess! Just for fun, I’ll tell you at the end! [...]
On the first day of the new decade, I had the privilege of shooting two people who are very much in love.
Masako and Pavan currently reside in London. Soon they will be returning to the country where they first met, Japan. They were only here for a short visit, so we squeezed in a photoshoot [...]
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.
San Francisco [...]
Urban Mama
I met this urban mama when she was pregnant (and literally about to have the baby any day)!
(Click here to see photos from her June 2009 photoshoot!)
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.
Now [...]
Today’s forecast: high of 58, low of 42, cloudy and dark, and RAIN ALL DAY!
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 [...]
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, [...]
