I had so much fun with Melody and her gorgeous, adorable daughter. What a beautiful family. Edina’s smile lit up the room and my heart. She was a delight for the entire shoot. I was amazed.

I feel like I just woke up from a dream. A scary one, involving my star act, Harley, and what looked to be a three ring circus or Cirque du Soleil extravaganza. Although,  there was nothing amusing or fun about this particular show! Call it  a “mother’s instinct”, but thankfully when I looked into my [...]

Of course you hear about the significant milestones in a parent and child’s life; the first time they sleep through the night, eat solid foods, murmur their first words, and pee in the pot. What you don’t hear about is the daily milestones that help you to get through your daily routine rituals. Its these [...]

I photographed my friends Mindy and Joe, and their beautiful son Karsten, in my final month of pregnancy. The second I walked in the door I could feel this energy, one that would transcend the shoot into a wonderful, natural, and easy experience.It is so amazing to see your friends become parents. And to see [...]

You have to look out for…
When Harley entered this world (two weeks early) and  I saw her delicate features and this innocence radiating from her, my first instinct was to protect. She looked so fragile, everyone referred to her as “SO tiny”, and when she made a peep…it sounded like one of Blaze’s squeaky toys. [...]

As I sit here this morning bonding with my daughter and enjoying our first “official” day alone together (Harley’s 13th day of life!), its hard not to reflect on the past two weeks and all the amazing people that helped us along on our journey.
On August 6th, Harley’s birthday, I woke up at 2am to [...]

Birth Date:  August 6, 2009, 1:52pm.
Horoscope:  A Leo. Considered King (or Queen) of the Jungle: always proud, a performer, and happy being the center of attention and in the spotlight (oh boy!).
Stats:  5lbs, 11 ounces and 19 inches long. The hands and feet of Michael Phelps. And the longest limbs this side of town…or what [...]

So yes if you know me well, you know that for me, sitting down is not usually part of my equation. Up until about a week ago, I didn’t even feel pregnant. And now, here I am about two weeks away from giving birth and I have finally taken up “nesting”.  And to be quite [...]

My sister-in-law, Kriss, wrote this beautiful statement about her daughter Olivia,  I thought it was absolutely perfect.
I have wanted to “have my own baby” since I was 10 years old.  I then waited 27 years to decide to finally make it happen!”   …And then China made me wait another 4!  But oh how the wait was [...]

Not only were we greeted by beautiful smiles, amazing almond pastries baked by Arnold that morning (yum!), but Aidan was so much fun for our photo shoot and the house was a spectacular backdrop for our exquisite and perfect morning together. Being that Arnold is one of the top chefs in SF, we had to [...]

To celebrate the fact that I’m only 6 weeks away from having my baby girl, I am giving away a baby and/ or family photo shoot!
I love capturing these precious little moments and appreciate them now more than I ever have before. It’s a $850 value. All you have to do is post your baby [...]

My dear friends and clients, Sean and Hayley, live in Los Gatos with their precious 14 mo old twins. The family is SO adorable (Grammy Bear, Barrie, on hand to help), I just had to share our second session of photos taken in June. The kids are too fun! Jaz was definitely a performer in [...]

It is such an amazing feeling when someone gives me free license and total creative control with their family to shoot them in the style and with the purpose I see fit for that day. Andrea, a client and dear friend of mine, wrote about my company awhile back in her amazing publication Daily Candy  (Andrea [...]

I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Tahoe to photograph one of my favorites families, the Hanleys. Kristina and Donnie, and their adorable daughter, Cate, invited me on a two-day adventure up to the snow to photograph the fam, grandparents, and their two adorable (and WILD) pups!

It was a blast. And we actually got [...]

 
Mary, Mary, Mary. Always such a blast! And I have to say the girls were amazing. After a full day of scouting for the perfect tree, way above in the Sac hills, we started our shoot at 5pm.  I cannot believe the little ones were still up and full of energy. Although, I must admit [...]

 
The Second Shoot of the day was with my wedding clients from 06, Marisa & Mario, and their new addition Mateo. Mateo is so sweet and smiley. It is so great to share in M&M’s new adventure as parents.  They have already settled into the roll so well, total pros. 

Love the feet. The men. So [...]

The day after Thanksgiving, on a full belly hangover, I ventured up to Sacramento for three back to back shoots. The shoots were with three of my favorite gals, Brooke, Marisa, and Mary. Three hips moms who make the collaborations fun, creative, and always inspiring!
My first stop, Brooke and her entire family…are they gorgeous or [...]

 
Today marks the official launch of Zoom’s new site. What started as an inspiration board of colorful cut-out photos, scribbles & text of the deepest color purple, exotic and beautiful butterflies, gothic chanteliers, python textures, and black ink sketches; was conceptualized and brought to life by my dear friends, “The Brads”, Brad Lande and Bradley [...]

This is my third outing with Merriman and her gang of boys. This family is too cute and I love seeing them in action. The Presidio setting was perfectly suited.  

Powell, Swain, and Larkin were able to run  around (or crawl) and let loose, and the photos capture their true spirit…karate kicks and all!!
