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 [...]
I was so happy when Shoshanna+Ben contacted me to do their pregnancy and baby photos. I photographed their gorgeous wedding at Plumpjack-Squaw Valley long ago in 2005. It was such a joy to work with them then and even better now, seeing them so happy together starting a family. Not to mention, they have a [...]
As you know, I absolutely love shooting at City Hall. Not only is it one of the most beautiful buildings in the city (or anywhere for that matter!)…but I love that on any given day, you are witness to not just one beautiful union but handfuls. It is truly inspiring to see so many happy [...]
Scott came to me via a post on the great site, Thrillist. He wanted to do something special on Mother’s Day for his beautiful wife Monique and their kids. And he was savvy enough to buy my package, A Day in the Life. We had a blast. The kids Kaia and Laela are [...]
I was fortunate and honored to photograph one of my best friend’s weddings last month. Jen, who married her “match made in heaven” Mark had not only one wedding, but two!

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.
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 [...]
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 [...]

Maria and I decided on a shoot out at the Sutro Baths. The weather was a little dreary, but the [...]
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 [...]

Anna and Matt grew up only five minutes apart on the Peninsula, but they did not meet until high school. After Matt’s college graduation, the couple was reacquainted at a friend’s party. Anna was smart enough to offer her “touring” services to Matt when he moved to So Cal for work. Anna and Matt have [...]
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 [...]

4. Zeigeist, Motto: “Hangovers installed and serviced!” Love that! This killer hole in the wall brings everyone together on a warm summer night over community picnic [...]
Maya and Jon met in college. One class turned into a long ongoing crush. It wasn’t until they met up again a few years after graduation, that Jon’s persistence finally broke Maya down and she agreed to go out with him. From there, this little crush turned into a full fledged love affair.
But the love [...]

M&B, a fabulous couple, so in love and happy together, were so easy to work with, so much fun, and totally open to my ideas and suggestions for coverage.
The wedding was [...]

The two were joined by family and friends from around the world as they said “i do” on May 31, 2008 in Julia’s hometown. The Ruthven’s, [...]
