Thank you for the wonderful maternity session. It was so much fun working with both of you and capturing that joy that you have for your new baby girl on the way! I can’t wait to show you more from this session. I also can’t wait to meet your new baby for your newborn session coming up! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Thank you F family for the lovely session. Congratulations on your new baby girl and enjoy your sneak peek! Much more to come!

I absolutely love her adorably squishy face here!!!

“The Thinker…” Just too cute!!!It was a warm day, so we ventured outside for some family photographs on their front porch!

Matt recently got offered a new job in Seattle, so just literally a few days after their session, Matt & Christine packed up and moved to the Northwest. Now they’ll have these (and many more!) to display in their new home!   Congratulations Matt & Christine! It was such a pleasure working with you! You both looked absolutely amazing for your e-session and I can’t wait for your wedding! Cheers!

Lots of tables!!! But lots of fun too!!!

Thank you H family for another wonderful session! It has been such a pleasure working with you and watching your baby girl grow! She is super adorable! Enjoy your sneak peek with much more to come! 

She loved walking with Mom & Dad too!!!

Thank you all for another wonderful session! It has been such a pleasure seeing your family grow! Enjoy your sneak peek and I can’t wait to show you more!!

With just a little help from Mom & Dad, he was able to sit for us! I love this look!

And so on a sunny, windy, and cool Monday afternoon, we headed out to Muir Woods National Monument. The wind wasn’t the only thing in our way – the park rangers actually almost didn’t let us in with my camera equipment. There could also be no off-camera flash, and we’d have to stay on paths only. The latter of which was fine – I completely understand the need to protect our national forests (the last thing we need is 100+ photographers and their subjects tromping through the fragile ecosystem nearly every day…). Nevertheless, when we factored in the crowds that were all over the paths (literally, there were hordes of people coming through the trails – who knew a random Monday could bring this many people…!), I knew we had our work cut out for us if we were to get our shots in such a narrow space! After all, a stroll through the trees just isn’t the same when there are crowds of people all wearing bright colors (OK, maybe like 90% of them, but still). And just when we thought we had a stretch of trail to ourselves… more people appeared, seemingly from out of nowhere! But we persevered. Actually, Goncalo & Nancy were really great sports about it and eventually, we found some trails that were a little more out of the way. Did we get our shots? Oh yes, we most certainly did!

Thank you so much Goncalo & Nancy for the amazing session! You both looked absolutely amazing and did such a great job braving first the crowds, and then the elements at the beach! I had a wonderful time with you and can’t wait to photograph your wedding this June! Enjoy your sneak peek (much much more to show you too!).

OK, so this first one is not from Muir Woods – it’s actually from windy China Beach in San Francisco, but I just love that sun flare!

The redwood trees really are quite breathtaking. I definitely want to go back with the family and do some hiking!I love this shot of them on the bridge.And then it was off to China Beach!I love this shot. The wind had actually blown all of this foam onto the shore.Goncalo was certainly brave getting wet! That water is COLD!!!!And lastly, for some outtakes… Just a few of those “in-between” moments that I think illustrate how much fun we were having (despite the frigid weather!). We were going for a particular shot, but in the process, suddenly found ourselves getting wet from one of those larger waves… The water here feels pretty much like ice water – it actually hurts to get your feet wet! Even if its just a little dousing…!And so, when your fiance is getting cold and wet, what should one do??Exactly!OK, one more! Thanks again Goncalo & Nancy! You both rock!!!

Thank you so much Stephanie & Christopher for letting us capture your wedding day. We had a wonderful time working with you and wish you all the best in your future together as husband and wife. Congratulations to both of you! Enjoy a few more images from your special day! Many more images are coming your way soon!

And epic it certainly was! With it’s stunning architecture, the Palace Hotel makes an absolutely gorgeous location for a San Francisco Wedding. Christopher looked amazing in his tux and just wait until you see Stephanie in her wedding gown! From the preparations to the heartfelt, tearful vows, it was a beautiful wedding and we are so glad that we were able to capture it for Stephanie, Christopher, and their friends & family. Congratulations Stephanie & Christopher! You make a beautiful couple! Enjoy your first sneak peek and many more are coming soon! A special thank you to Laura Little and her Floramor team for putting together such an amazing event!

And I’ll end this post with one more shot – Stephanie coming down the aisle with her brother. Check back soon for more!

Thank you P family for another wonderful session! It really has been such a pleasure to be your family photographer over the years. You’ve got two beautiful children and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to show that through images. Enjoy your sneak peek! Much more to come!
