Barbara and Michael Engaged! Stow Lake Engagement – {San Francisco Wedding Photographer}

admin — Wed, 22 May 2013 22:43:23 +0000

It was a beautiful sunny day until the fog and cold rolled into SF, just in time for our shoot. I grabbed a jacket for Barbara on the way out the door and thought it was going to be just miserable out to do a photoshoot at Stow Lake. But…she showed up in her red cheery dress and a smile from ear to ear and I knew no amount of cold would keep the smiles away! Barbara and Michael were the cutest! I met them a few years back at their friends wedding, Buddy and Charlene, and I was so excited when they contacted me last year to tell me they were engaged! Really enjoyed going all around the park with them at Stow Lake and then finishing off the night at the beautiful Hotel Vitale, Americano bar. Looking forward to the big day in June at University Club!

Oh this little guy just gave us smile after smile and we did just that right back at him. I was so excited and a bit surprised that he had arrived, as his beautiful Mommy wasn’t even showing our last session a few months ago! He was so calm, good thing he is already playing the good 3rd child role – Go with the flow, as your brothers and sisters bounce around you – he’s got it down pat! These smiles are just the beginning of the joy that is to come for your sweet family. Wishing you all the best!

San Francisco City Hall Wedding – Lara & Ben

admin — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 23:40:11 +0000

Just as Lara and Ben said I do the sun came out at this gorgeous San Francisco City Hall Wedding. It was such a pleasure to photograph these two and as always City Hall did not fail to impress, the architecture and pure beauty of this building make every wedding there such a romantic affair. Lara and Ben had a nervous excitement when I arrived as they eagerly awaited their numbers to be called downstairs. She added in a disclaimer that they were horrible at taking photos…but what followed was a totally in love, calm and photogenic couple. I had the best afternoon with these two and appreciated that they appreciated every bobby pin, shout wipe or instruction I gave to them. Wishing you both all the best on your married life ahead! And without further a do, some highlights from the day!

Hello little pink love of cuteness! The newest member of the Odea Family and she is quite the beauty. Meet Jane, in all her sweetness. I think I started photographing this family when their oldest Mary was the exact same age. How lucky am I to watch families grow and change through the years. Thanks for having me back again and again!

Tiffany and Fayek Engaged – {Santa Cruz Boardwalk Engagement Session} {San Francisco Wedding Photographer}

I had so much fun with this cute couple down at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk for their engagement session. Full of laughs, ferris wheel rides, a quick go around on the carousel, plenty of smooches and of course cotton candy mustaches! I had no idea, this little feel like your a kid all over again, location existed on the beach, it reminded me of something right out of the movie Beaches or the Notebook. And then before leaving we went down to the cliffs for some moody, aka foggy, “sunset” photos. Nothing like hoping fences with all my camera gear and Tiffany in a pencil skirt just to get the shot! But we did it – and end result…gorgeous cliff photos, complete with sea lions and Santa Cruz surfers. Thanks so much for showing me a little piece of your childhood Tiffany and Fayek thank you for keeping us all entertained throughout the evening. Looking forward to capturing your wedding at Diablo Ranch in October!

Lauren and Michael Engaged – Potrero Hill, Crissy Field, Palace of Fine Arts San Francisco Engagement Session – {San Francisco Wedding Photographer}

admin — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:50:58 +0000

Dimples, a man in uniform and pure chemistry – and what I mean is, Lauren and her adorable dimples, Michael and his military blues and together amazing, adorable chemistry that lite up behind the camera. We started our session in Potreo Hill, in search of a busy neighborhood scene and some skyline. We did find the skyline but Potrero Hill gave off more of a sleepy little vibe, which lent itself to plenty of PDA and moving furniture & trash cans to accomodate us. Then off to Crissy Field and the Palace of Fine Arts for some more fun shots. And I do have to admit when Lauren told me Michael brought his uniform I did do a little inner squeal. I just loved everything about it and so did SF as I think everyone that drove by gave a little honk or a wave. Thank you Michael for your service to our country and thank you for bringing your uniform so I could photograph it. Congrats to you both on finally being together and engaged & thank goodness there was a memory card in my camera to capture it all!

I think the world is going to look amazing through those bright, big, eyes of hers, they are intriguing and beautiful.

I give you, Essa – surrounded by love. Mom and Dad had to keep away family members so we could have our few hour session together. I’m so honored to be part of her beginning…

Welcome sweet little Owen. He was such a champ at his newborn portraits and so was his pup Piper, she wanted in as well on the photos, either that or was just waiting for me to get her toy or take her to the park. What a beautiful family, full of love and excitement for their new little boy. Thank you for having me and all my stuff (its like a traveling circus these days with my fluffy beanbag, baskets, blankets, hats, wipes etc…) to capture your exquisite creation.

tiny arrival – {San Francisco Newborn Photographer}

Lately, I’m loving all the tiny humans that I’m photographing. So very sweet that I get to capture them within their first couple weeks of life, seeing Mom and Dad’s excitement & exhaustion as all the same time and getting to know their new little arrival. And then watching them in calm angst as they hand over their most precious accomplishment to me to pose and handle. Thank you for trusting me and allowing me into your new world.
