Here are some photographs of my kids I took a few weeks ago on a trail in Clayton.  I’ve actually done lots of portrait sessions here – I think it’s beautiful!  I really love the Concord, Clayton – East Bay area.  I love taking pictures of kids (of all ages) in the middle of this amazing place! Sometimes I can’t believe I live in an area where such natural beauty is so close.  Yeah, yeah, San Diego has the beach.  But they can keep it :-) .  I love this trail in Clayton.  I love Lime Ridge Open Space, I love the Eichlers (I’ll be posting some of the kids in front of those soon!!!) in my community…I just love taking pictures here!!!  It makes me happy :-)

I’d love to photograph your family here!  Please be in touch with me if you want some pictures that make you happy. :)

Here are a few links to some sessions we’ve done here before:

It’s like having a wedding in your beautiful backyard.  Congrats Beca & Cris!  Your wedding was beautiful and we hope you cherish your pictures. Enjoy your slideshow!

The Old Homestead has a beautiful porch/sun room off the front – it made a great spot for formal and candid pictures.

These are some of my favorites – we couldn’t resist the shovel shot! :)

If you are looking for an intimate venue in the Bay Area to get married, The Old Homestead would be a great choice.  We’d love to photograph another wedding there soon!

Enjoy and thanks for reading,
