Angeles & Steven | Mark Hopkins Wedding Photographer

Angeles and Steven gave us the distinct pleasure of photographing their wedding at the San Francisco Mark Hopkins.  It was just lovely – the wedding itself was small and intimate, the venue was phenomenal and taking pictures in San Francisco just a delight!  Everything about who they are made it easy for us to create these simple, authentic and modern images.  Just lovely!

August 10, 2011 - 2:13 pm rebecca - Gorgeous! Love the red accents this bride chose, and oh! those shoes!!! (I would DIE, but I can love them for HER!) Great photos!! (And you've been busy today!!!)

Chasen | Bay Area Family Photographer

Chasen is about a year old – which to a photographer means put on your running shoes because this session is going to be all about chasing!  And it was.  And it was FUN!  Just look at how adorable Chasen is….

If it’s not obvious, I LOVE LOVE LOVE color so the images I create reflect that love.  I love warm rich skin tones and lots of bold, bright color.  Chasen and his red shrit at Mateo’s Dream Park was the perfect combination for rich, vibrant photos.  Thanks Chasen!  For being so adorable and wearing a red shirt :) .

Lucy | Bay Area Family Photographer

Do things ever not work out the way you expected them to?

That was my last year.  I *thought* that when Lucy started kindergarten and Luke started preschool I would have so much time on my hands I wouldn’t know what to do with myself.

Nothing could have been farther from the truth.  Lucy had a great year in kindergarten and it was a pleasure to watch her grow and mature.  She’s a strong reader (which makes my heart happy!) and loved the academic challenge of “real school”.  Luke survived preschool – although I think this boy of mine needs to be outside hammering nails, putting up caution tape and dreaming about constructing tree houses more than he needs “school” (at this point in his life).  For me, I actually had less time, more taxi responsibilities and tired kids.  Soooooo….

It’s been a while since I’ve been here.  I have lots of work I should have been posting and lots of thoughts I should have been sharing, but nonetheless my (perhaps extreme) commitment to making sure Lucy and Luke pursue their creative impulses and intellectual pursuits has superseded my upkeep on this blog.

However – I did want to post these pictures of Lucy.  Do you ever wonder how in the world your own children could be so beautiful?  I wonder that every day – and when I look at these, her beauty blows me away.  I think taking pictures of my own kids is much much harder than taking pictures of my clients children.  But this time I just stepped back and did what I encourage my clients to do – just let them be.  Children *are* beautiful just the way they are.  And so here is Lucy being Lucy.  Enjoy!

Modern Baby | Concord/Clayton Family Photographer

Welcome to the world, baby Sean!

Sean Patrick was born just 5 short days ago!  He was lucky enough to enter the world as a little brother to Caitlyn and be brought home to live with his family in an Eichler.  That’s pretty cool.

Caitlyn is a proud big sister!!!

She loves him so much!

Sean was the perfect baby….

So happy to be snuggled…

and resting in modern furniture :) .

Sean, we are so glad that you are here with us!
