Congratulations, Cora & Asa on your bundle of joy. I can't wait to meet your little one during the holidays! Check out some of my favorite photos from our session in the Presidio at Andy Goldsworthy's Spire, plus a quick spin to the Marina. The sun came out to play, and the results are gorgeous. xo
I've learned that it's tough packing for California, when you account for anywhere between 35 - 100 F degrees! Staci and William Graves traveled across the country from Georgia, and I caught them in San Francisco after their secluded, blissful days in Yosemite. We hoped to capture some portraits of the Golden Gate Bridge, but got totally fogged out! Even steps away from the Goldie, you couldn't see any evidence of it being there. We totally improvised and came up with some amazing shots featuring Goldie's BFF, Karl the Fog at Baker Beach. Here are a few of my faves:
In a last ditch effort to get a glimpse of the bridge, we jumped in our cars and raced to Crissy Field. We reached the Pier by the Warming Hut with no luck, but got to play with some speedlight in the dark for a few minutes before every exposed part of us was covered in mist.
Special thanks to Tiffany Ho for assisting, and especially to Mr. & Mrs. Graves for being such good sports in the freezing weather! We had the best time. :)
This little talent is building her portfolio, and I was approached by her parents to shoot some portraits for MDT Agency. Presley, along with her parents, Jenn and Paolo were a dream to work with and we packed in a ton of fun in just one session. I even had the honor of styling four looks for this young lady, and she rocked the outfits non stop!
We met in Golden Gate Park, where there's a variety of backgrounds in such a small area. Good luck, Presley! You worked hard during our time together, and I just know you're going to rock this world with your talent. :)
I had the great pleasure of taking a peek into the Lim family's Concord home, where they've made so many memories together -- especially those that include their daughter, Naima. We did a quick lifestyle session to capture their life & love. Here are a few of my favorites...
We made sure to capture all the small details of this home's personality... these two have an impeccable eye for design.
Thank you for inviting me into your beautiful home, Paula and Bing! xoxo
I first met the Fonseca family for baby Elias's 1st birthday portraits, where he dressed up as Max from Where the Wild Things Are. I was so happy to see the family all together for a quick mini session at Lafayette Park in San Francisco with lots of silly faces! As a bonus, we also took a few baby announcement photos featuring Thing 1, Thing 2, and Thing 3 (coming soon!). Congratulations, Cristie & Nick on your beautiful, growing family! xo
