Elegant Photography of Babies, Children, Families, and Weddings in the San Francisco Bay Area
I met Ruchi & Vikash through a referral from a recent wedding client and I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with them! They are a wonderful couple and we had an amazing time, with quite a few laughs too! This was a special mini pre-engagement session – we’ll do the full...
After viewing the first few pictures James took of us, we were awe-struck. He did an amazing job and far exceeding our expectations. We met him through one of our close friends who had also done some beautiful pictures with James. We decided to use James for a quick pre-engagement session and for a longer pre-wedding session.
When we first decided on a location, we were all planning on meeting at an outdoor location, but at the last minute had to change the location due to rain. James decided on Fort Point, under the Golden Gate Bridge. When we arrived on the day of our shoot, we noticed two things. The first was that the location was a great choice, and two that it was cold! (To be fair, we should mention that while one of us was in 3 layers and a leather jacket, one of us was even colder in just a dress!)
The shoot itself was a great experience. James had us try various spots throughout Fort Point and he was able to give each location its own identity. As all 3 of us battled the cold, we shared some laughs and enjoyed the shoot.
For us, the aspect we appreciated most about James was his willingness to not rush through the experience. Even though it was supposed to be a short shoot, James took his time and never once did we feel rushed.
A few days later, James was able to send us a small selection for the hundreds of pictures he took (the ones you see above) and any small fears we may have had about the location or the poses he chose for us were completely discarded. James obviously knows his stuff and his work is fantastic.
We ended up choosing 4 of the above pictures to blow up for our engagement party, but because of a problem with e-mails, we were only able to enlarge 3 of them in time for the party. The best part of this entire process was the number of compliments we received from our guests. Some of our guests even thought we had jetted off on a secret trip to Europe to take some of these pictures!
Everyone has really loved the pictures, and we have had more than a few requests for James’ number. We will definitely pass them along to him and are really happy that the reaction to our photo shoot has been so enthusiastic. Thanks James! We can’t wait until our longer photo shoot in April.
Sincerely,
Ruchi and Vikash

I photographed this wonderful family about exactly 1 year before and it was so exciting to have the opportunity to photograph them again! This time, I got to meet their new addition to the family – an adorable 4-month old baby girl! We went to a local Dublin park for some outdoor photographs in the...

I love family portraits in the park! It must be the beautiful scenery and fall colors, the gorgeous natural light, the beautiful grandchildren I get to chase around with my camera, their wonderful grandparents (who clearly love their grandchildren very much)… Yep, it must be all of the above! Such a fun session, this one!...

Happy Holidays everyone! This was a special treat! I photographed these adorable twins and their wonderful family when they were just newborns. Now at about 2 months old, they have changed so much! I love getting the chance to see the little ones I’ve photographed grow and change with each session. I’m always amazed at...
