Why I do what I do...

 I love to capture teeny tiny babies fresh from their mothers, toddlers laughing and getting dirt on their clothes, couples so in love they don't stop smiling, and families who laugh together until their bellies ache. I keep my blog updated with my most recent photo sessions and other little updates in my life that make me smile.

Please continue to stop by and leave comments - I absolutely love reading them!

Other things I LOVE:

Dogs especially my own.                Walking in puddles with my rain boots.       Candy.                My husband.        Converses. Black coffee.        Peace sign.           The smell of the air at 7am in September.          Elephant seals.           Red Skittles.         Dancing...everywhere.      Wedding dresses.           Weddings.        Babies' gummy smiles.        Peonies.        The sound of my email alert.    Rap.            Lavendar scented linen spray.       Rain.        Science experiments.             Family.        Friends.        Me.    

Michael’s baby portraits: Orinda, CA

I can’t imagine a better family to convince me that having a baby boy is the coolest thing ever. Michael was 14 months when I took these photos, and I was so fortunate to spend a beautiful Saturday morning with this amazing family. We spent most of our time hanging out and being entertained by this super smiley and laughing boy. When I first took out my camera and bent down low to take a photo, Michael looked directly at the lens, tilted his chin and smiled. What?! Babies are never this easy! I remember thinking I had to take as many photos as I could right away because his mood might change soon, but he was seriously this happy and sweet the entire morning.

Natalie is a friend from my former job, and her husband John is an alumnus Cal football player (Yea! Go Bears!). These two gorgeous folks make one handsome baby! I remember meeting Michael for the first time last Halloween and thinking, “I sure hope they ask me to photograph him!” Luckily enough, a few months later Natalie reached out to me.  Thank you, Natalie and John, for showing me the true joys of being parents and how it’s the simple things like going to the Farmer’s Market or a stroll in the park that make sweet memories for a lifetime.

The photo to the right below here was Michael’s first photo with me – hello??? Can you say natural?!

I LOVE his smile – this was Michael’s reaction to smelling the flowers at the Farmer’s Market.

When life gets tough, smile bigger…

A couple weeks ago I photographed my friend’s beautiful family in Orinda. I remember it being in the midst of a very stressful week wondering if life was always supposed to be this tough in your late 20s. Despite all that was on my mind, the moment I entered their house all my worries seemed to just disappear as I spent time photographing and getting to know this happy family and their super-smiley baby Michael. Michael is seriously one of the happiest babies I’ve ever met, waving and saying “hi” to anyone who passes by. He was quite the superstar at the Orinda farmer’s market!

I’ll be posting the family’s full post in a couple days, but I just wanted to share this sneak preview of this kid. He hadn’t ever been photographed before this, but you’d think he was a pro with how natural he was in front of the camera. Thank you, Michael, for reminding me life shouldn’t be so serious.

Alexander newborn photography: San Francisco, CA

blog 9

A few weeks ago this earth became a better place to live when we welcomed baby Alexander into the world. Laura and David are first-time parents, and they are absolutely smitten by this handsome little guy. There’s not doubt I entered a home full of love and tenderness as I observed them work through the ups and downs of a typical newborn shoot with ease and tranquility. Alex wasn’t quite ready for his photo shoot when I first arrived, but with time and plenty of food we managed to persuade him that I’m pretty harmless. Laura and David make a beautiful team, and with them by his side Alex is in for one of the best childhoods a boy can ever ask for. Congratulations on your handsome son, L & D!
