Lovely Laura!

Another beautiful senior! This shoot was a lot of fun. Laura brought her mom and friend (from when she was 3..wow!) and the morning was a fun little girls trip to our local university. I'd never shot there before and was pleasantly surprised at all the cool spots. I'll definitely use it again. Thanks to Laura and her family for letting me photograph her...she's absolutely beautiful and great to work with! To enjoy the show larger, click HERE

More Family Fun

I think this has to be one of the sweetest family's ever! Little Kaylin took awhile to warm up (of course, she's 3 with a stranger and a huge camera in her face) but once we got her playing with her parents she livened right up. Little Chad woke right up and we got to get shots of some of his first steps..YAY! These two kids are very fortunate...their parents have such a special bond with each of them that's really obvious. I forgot my ladder and when I came back to get it, Kaylin's dad had told me that after I left Kaylin said she had wanted to give me a hug a kiss...Oh my goodness, what a sweetheart...she got the biggest hug ever! I'm so thankful this family let me share their life with them for a couple hours :) BTW, it's long show! To enjoy the show larger, click HERE

Super Happy Couple

I'm so excited to photograph Carissa and Matt's wedding in June! They have such a beautiful and easy way of interacting with each other...they're also really photogenic so that's a bonus ;) The whole session they were making each other laugh and were just so obviously comfortable and in love that it was great to be around. Their wedding is going to be an absolute blast and I can't wait to share the show from that one! To enjoy the show larger, click HERE

Senior Fun

Senior portraits are great fun...especially when your subjects are this beautiful :) I always love watching the interaction between the family during these sessions. Allie and her sister had a wonderful relationship and her whole family was just hilarious! They were all standing around making her laugh and it led to some great images. We also were fortunate enough to get to use this gorgeous ranch out on Westside Rd. I gotta convince them to let me do more shoots out there...amazing!! BTW, does anyone see the Faith Hill resemblance or is it just me! To enjoy the show larger, click HERE

Beautiful Little Family

I loved working with this couple and can't wait to get over and photograph their little girl. Rachel was an absolutely gorgeous pregnant mama with all the glow and serenity that just makes you want to hug her and her belly :) There was so much excitement in that house that I left wanting to expand my little family...I'm over that now ;) To enjoy the show larger, click here

Surprisingly Fun Head Shots

I've never really had an interest in doing head shots for people...I'm much more into photographing emotional things. But, an associate and friend of mine asked if I'd do some for him and since he's so much fun to be around, I said okay. Oddly enough, I totally enjoyed it and am excited to now offer them as part of my services! My assistant and I had a great time. Brian took us on a tour of the East Bay and we stopped at any cool spot we saw. His only guidance was that "he didn't want to look like a Real Estate agent" (no offense to all those agents out there ;). Anyway, I think we achieved what he was going for. Here are some non Real Estate headshots for ya :)

Oh so Delicious...

One of my favorite restaurant's, Langley's on the Green, asked me to photograph their restaurant and dishes. I was thrilled because their dining room is beautiful...rich, warm and welcoming..but they also serve wonderful and gorgeous food! Fred Langley and his crew take so much pride in their dishes and it's always exciting to photograph something that was created with passion (plus, someone's got to eat the food after it's photographed ;). Here are some images just to tempt you...if you haven't yet enjoyed Langley's, you definitely need to!
