In case you’ve been wondering where we’ve been this month …. we’ve been hard at work designing a new blog! I hope you love the new design as much as I do. Please be sure to update your RSS feeds at the new site.

Now that the new site is done, I’ll be catching up on the past month and a half’s engagement sessions, weddings, and portraits!

Don’t miss Caitlin and Joe’s fabulous wedding showcased on the Style Network’s Whose Wedding Is It Anyway? tonight, at 7 pm!

Maria + Drew: engaged!

Maria & Drew live on the east coast, and were only in town for a few short days to meet with their vendors, and take care of the million and one details for their wedding. Unfortunately for us, the day we’d picked for their engagement session was really cold. Sunny, but very windy, and cold. And they were leaving the next day … so off we went to Golden Gate Park & Baker Beach. I was so impressed with their determination, and despite the wind, we had a really great time. Can’t wait for the wedding, guys!

Frédérique & Jason

I’ve been dying to blog about Frédérique and Jason’s engagement session that we shot last month. I LOVE working with creative couples that want to go to unique & out of the ordinary places for their engagement photos. Imagine my excitement when Frédérique and Jason said they wanted to go to Piedmont Cemetery for their session. This cemetery is a pretty incredible place – NOT your ordinary cemetary. We found these amazing ornate gates, columns & the coolest old locks. I was in photographers heaven :)

I cannot wait for their wedding this Halloween. It’s going to be amazing!

Una Bella Sera: A World of Glamour

Crystal Lequang & Nicole Ha of Amazae Special Events & Nicole Ha Designs truly outdid themselves this year with their incredibly glamorous event at the Julia Morgan Ballroom. Each room represented one of the seven continents. And each room was more incredible than the last. I was very honored to be one of the featured photographers that night.

I was assigned the very posh photographer’s lounge & the “going green” North America room which was made entirely from recycled materials.

And here’s a few other shots I took of some of the other rooms throughout the night …

Jennifer + Ben

Jennifer & Ben were married on a gorgeous Saturday in March. We couldn’t have asked for better weather …. it was warm, sunny, & beautiful blue skies. And with the help of their wonderful family and friends, their day went off without a hitch.

I love this shot. I think it just sums up everything!

I just love this shot that my fabulous associate photographer, Auey Santos took

Yes, the cake was that good!

Dylan, Cade & Ella

Photographing triplets is so much fun. They REALLY keep you on your toes and there’s never a dull moment! Especially with these three cuties … Now that they are crawling and walking, we had a blast during their session a couple of weeks ago. It’s amazing to me just how quickly they grew. It feels like just yesterday when I did their newborn session.

My favorite shot of the day ….

Noah

I had a blast photographing Noah for his 6 month portraits. He just LOVED the camera! It was really hard narrowing things down for this post. Here’s a few highlights from the session:

I just love the next two photos. They were taken literally a split second apart. It’s amazing just how quickly babies go from smiles to tears.

triplet fun continued …

What better way to spend superbowl sunday than by photographing these adorable triplets and their gorgeous older sister? Obviously, I’m not a huge football fan :) Anyway, here’s just a few of my many favorites from our session that day.

We lucked out with a gorgeous, sunny day …

Zoe

It has been so much fun seeing little Zoe grow up. It feels like only yesterday I was taking her newborn photos, and now here she is, at 10 months. I’m a bit behind on my blog posts! These were actually taken in January … I’ll be posting soon the photos from her first birthday party which we celebrated last weekend.
