Ronnie Lott.

I can’t say I am all that into football… but when I found out I was photographing Ronnie Lott for Coveroo’s new NFL cell phone covers, I was quite happy. Growing up, the 49ers were legend. And certainly, Ronnie was at the head of his pack. Not to mention, I had heard numerous times over [...]

My friend Ha.

My friend Ha.
Fun, Energetic, Alive.  Always full of smiles. And Harley just adores her. We are so lucky to have her in our lives.

Introducing Gracie Mae!

When my client Brooke Govenar called to ask if I would photograph her new line of kids clothing, Gracie Mae, I was so excited. I immediately thought of Bear Flag Farm as our backdrop. Tina Reikes‘ beautiful wedding site in Winters is a perfect blend of rustic and elegance for Brooke’s Fall line. And with [...]

Beautiful Edina!

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.

Love, love, love the Kinney Clan!

I met Mary Kinney three years ago when she hired me to photograph her family-husband, Jason and their baby daughter Stella. We hit it off from the start. Mary is a magnetic, beautiful, enthusiastic, and a terribly creative soul. We have been collaborating ever since and its always a riot! Mary also styled my shoot [...]

My wonderful contest winner: Susan Vander Kooi Hobbs (and her troop!)

As I mentioned in my past post, it was so fun to pick Susan randomly as the winner of my Rabbit Hole contest as we were schoolmates long ago. For her winning shoot, she brought along her beautiful daughter Melissa and fun-loving boyfriend Tim. Here’s a quick description from Susan of who they are and [...]

Sweet Sweet Little Boy!

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 [...]

The Allegra Family!!!

Its always so wonderful to have the Allegra Family back in their hometown for the summer.
Every summer for the last four years, I have photographed Patrick and Lorrie and their growing family. It first started with a pregnancy shoot when Jackson was in Lorrie’s tummy, then we did the three of them, and this year [...]

My First Contest Winner, Maria Huddleston….

Ok, my job was WAY too easy where Maria was concerned. First off, she is drop dead gorgeous, comfortable with the camera, and she has an adorable and super fun personality. We hit it off immediately!!
Maria and I decided on a shoot out at the Sutro Baths. The weather was a little dreary, but the [...]

My beautiful niece, Olivia!

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 [...]

Luv, Luv, Luv….Jazzy Girl and Jaxon!!!

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 [...]

Julia+Neil Go International..and a little Rock N Roll!

I love Rock N Roll Bride. To be honest, I wish I had come up with the idea myself. How fun would it be to find and showcase the funky, edgy, and more unusual coverage of fabulous couple’s weddings who are a little more rock n roll? Kat Williams does this perfectly. And I was [...]

Fabulous Julia & Neil….Coming Soon!

T.G. is growing up!

It was so amazing to spend time with our dear friends, Liz and Clint, and their amazing, adorable, and unbelievably lovable boy, Anthony!! Liz is Anna’s (my beautiful bride in NZ!) partner in crime and the wine connoisseur of the wonderful restaurant, South Food and Wine Bar. In addition to being on the gorgeous island of Waiheke in New [...]

Tara & Reed in the Gardens!

A garden setting, was the suggestion of my client Nicole, for my last shoot in March. We picked an amazing spot in Woodside by their home. And of course, it didn’t hurt to have a utterly stunning family as the foreground for this setting. Tara and Reed went wild with the balloons I brought along.

Love, Love, Love Lake Tahoe.

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 [...]

My Thanksgiving Parade (cont)

 
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 [...]

My Thanksgiving Parade

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 [...]
