so close: Pleasanton maternity photographer

April 26, 2010

This momma is about to pop! She is so close to being done, we had to take a few breaks for contractions through the session, LOL! I would look up and she would be breathing and holding her belly. I was a little nervous, but she was awesome and we got some really creative images.

Thanks to the K. family for letting come into your world for a little while as you are expecting baby number 4! I can’t wait to meet him in a few weeks!!!

And here is your sneak peek:

Super Duper Cute: San Francisco Family Photographer

April 18, 2010

Sisters! I have a sister and she rocks. I love sisters! I have all boys and think that brothers are pretty cool too, but there is something special about the bond between sisters. I got to experience that magic yesterday with these two beautiful girls. Seeing the joy of them laughing together and playing together was just about the coolest part of my month so far. And while each girl is gorgeous in her own right the true beauty I saw yesterday was their bond.

And it takes some pretty awesome parents to facilitate that happening. I was just doubly bless by seeing how this mom and dad helped foster the bond between the two. We met up at Crissy Field in San Francisco and by golly it was windy (you can probably tell from our images). I would like to think of them as whimsical and wispy but in reality it was just really windy! But it didn’t stop us. We rolled around in the grass and played in the sand until it was past the little one’s bed time. This family is full of troopers.

Thanks K. Family for hanging out with me yesterday. I really did have an incredible time getting to know you all a little better! Here is your sneak peek of our images.

funny story: Bay Area Photographer

April 15, 2010

It has now happened to me three times. I am running errands and going about my business and all of the sudden I hear, “oh I know that face!” And they are not talking about me? Nope, they are talking about the adorable boy with all that curly hair. He is famous! haha! No really, with a face like that and curls like that, I get why he is more easily recognized. I mean I am in a pony-tail, no make-up, just normal me and there he is with is adorable curls and happy smile and you just can’t help but notice that you “know” him. When it happened yesterday my friend mentioned, “well you plaster him all over the place” and, well, haha, I guess I do.

So if we are ever out and about and you see my little boy, please stop and say hi to me. Cause I know you might not recognize me but you will notice him apparently. LOL!

And here are some new pictures of the little guy. He asked me to take pictures with him yesterday and who can resist a 29 month old being that cute. And get this, he actually looked at me through the lens and I didn’t even have to bribe him with candy!!! WOW!

perfect: Walnut Creek Newborn Photographer

April 13, 2010

Miss L. is perfect. 10 perfect toes, 10 perfect fingers, a perfect little baby smile, and she was perfectly well behaved for me today. I got to try some new poses out on her today and overall just had a blast hanging out with this little one and her family.

So thanks S. Family for inviting me into your world, it is a pleasure to get to capture your memories of all her perfection.

10-10-10: San Francisco Engagement Photographer

April 11, 2010

These two are getting married on a very coveted day. October 10, 2010 (10-10-10). Chad thinks is great because it will be impossible to forget. Ashley things it is great because she is beyond excited to marry the love of her life (well Chad thinks it is great for that reason too!). I think it is great because I couldn’t imagine spending that day with anyone else. It is just great all the way around.

These two are in LOVE! Like the kind of love that helps you remember what it is to be in love. I gotta tell you. Before we met up with them, Max and I had bickered a little that day. Not the “I want to slam your hand in a door” type of bicker but the “dear Lord, why is he/she so irritating today” kind of bicker. After hanging out with Ashley and Chad for a few hours we were done bickering for the day. We stopped and got pizza at one of our favorite pizza places in the city (Pizza Orgasmica. yes it is that good) and we ended our bickering day with a rather nice date.

So thanks Ashley and Chad. Thanks for sharing your love with us. Thanks for letting me broadcast your love to my blog readers. And thanks for having me be your wedding photographer. I can’t wait for your day!
