Nicole & Jason

What a gorgeous wedding! Not only were Nicole and Jason fabulous but they're attendants and guests were all so fun and friendly. I absolutely love weddings like this! Nicole was stunning..from her cathedral length veil, to her perfectly elegant dress. And she even had a gorgeous stoll when it got chilly out! Everyone had a great time and it was so obvious that this group is full of joy and love. I absolutely loved being a part of this wonderful celebration and can't thank Nicole and Jason enough for having me there. Here's a little treat for you guys :) To enjoy the show larger, click HERE

Yay...I love this family!

I got to work with these guys last year when the little one was just a babe! His older brother was so sweet and gentle with him and still is! They've turned into little friends and I really love watching them grow. I can't wait to do it again next year, or even sooner ;) To enjoy the show larger, please click HERE

Lucky Winners!

Whenever I'm asked, I try to donate something to fundraisers that I like to support. This was a drive for a local school that I'm a big fan of, so I donated an Artist Package session. This was the lucky family that got it and after many months of trying to coordinate our schedules, we finally met up. Unfortunately, the park was a little browner than we wanted but they were so much fun to work with, so we still got some great shots. Here are a few of my fave's!

Rachel & Spencer

Another beautiful couple! I had a lot of fun going around a great little neighborhood with these two. We wanted to have some fun, urban images and I think we got them. These two are so photogenic and great to work with...I can't wait for the wedding! To enjoy the show larger, click HERE

Absolutely Marvelous Madison!

Talk about beautiful! It's been so fun to watch this little girl grow up and see how wonderful parents her mom and dad are. This little family is so full of love and obviously really enjoy just being around each other...I love getting to photograph them! When I first got there, Madison looked right into the camera and started posing! Her mom and I were cracking up as she turn her precious face to give me different angles. Where do they learn this stuff?!? :) She also showed off her great commando crawl/scoot....I love this stage! She was so fast, she crawled right out of her pants..watch for the serious in the show, it's hilarious ;) I always have such a great time with this family and can't wait until the next time!

He's Here!

Little Carter's parents have been waiting for him for a quite awhile...and he was well worth the wait! His mom was so excited when she found out she was pregnant, that I think she booked me before she even told her husband ;) Okay, probably not but she did email me about 8 months ago to make sure I was available to do his newborn portraits. I was so excited to finally get to meet and hold the little guy. He's absolutely precious! I love spending time with families right after their baby gets here...there's so much excitement, exhaustion and emotion. It's such a special time and I so appreciate being a part of it. Thank you for letting me photograph your gorgeous little man and I hope you enjoy your show! To view larger, click HERE

Super Cute Jacob!

This family was so great to work with! Little Jacob was so busy! He had just gotten a great little sandbox and was hilarious in it. He was so serious and definitely had to get his sand work done :) I had such a great time with these guys and Jacob was such an adorable subject! To enjoy the show larger, click HERE

Ridiculously Loveable Ryan!

I'm so happy that I get to work with this family! I met them when Jennifer was pregnant and have loved watching little Ryan grow up. They're such a sweet and loving family and I always have such a great time working with them. I can't stop looking at little Ryan's portraits...he seriously has the sweetest face and most endearing eyes ever...not to mention the cheeks. They don't come much cuter!

Gotta Love West County!

This absolutely wonderful couple was married last year in Southern California. They still live there but decided that we have such a beautiful area, they wanted to come up here, get all dressed up again and take some portraits! I was lucky enough to be the photographer they hired. We started in Sebastopol and drove slowly out to the coast, stopping at any cool spot we saw. We braved traffic, annoying drunk guys, property owners (No Trespassing signs were totally ignored) and brutal Bodega Head winds but we captured some beautiful images and created some great memories. I can't thank Trish and Mark enough for letting me photograph them and I can't wait to go to LA and do it all over again! To enjoy the show larger, click HERE

Beautiful Head Shots

I was asked again to do some "edgier" head shots...images that actually represent the real person in their real environment...no silly backgrounds and studio flashes that look like your formal senior portraits. I think professional marketing head shots are really starting to go in this direction and I'm stoked because they're a lot more interesting to do and look at. We didn't get too crazy (they still need to be professional) but we did have a good time. Christine is such a beautiful woman and had an office with great light so my job was super easy.

Handsome Mateo!

Not only do I love this kid because of his name (one of my favorites) but he was so excited to be at this new park that he made the session so much fun! It's a good thing I wore my sneakers because this little guy had me running! It was so funny trying to corral him for a couple shots with his mom. They obviously have a very close and special bond but most of the time, this guy just wanted to run and check out all the new stuff. To enjoy the show larger, click HERE

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!

Baby Blues

This little girl has the most gorgeous eyes that I just had to leave a bunch of her images in color! She was so much fun to photograph. Her parents let her crawl around outside for one of the first times and she was so excited. She was fascinated with leaves and I love the shots of her playing with them. It's always so great to watch them discover!! To enjoy the show larger, click here

Parker with the Perfect Feet!

I love Parker's feet..you can tell by how many images of them I took :) This shoot was a lot of fun..Parker and his mom had such a fun way of interacting with each other and you could tell they spent a lot of their day just hanging out and playing games. I also got to include Parker's grandparents and I love the images of them. The enjoy the show larger, click here
