Maria and John Engaged! City Hall Engagement / Golden Gate Park Engagement - {San Francisco Wedding Photographer}

Pure, raw, and joyful happiness were beaming from these two on this special October day. Maria and John came up for the day from Carmel to have a session in San Francisco and one year from our session date will be their wedding in Ireland. I pretty much fell in love with these two's chemistry and their smiles - isn't Maria's smile infectious? We started at City Hall (I might be biased but I think San Francisco has the prettiest city halls I've ever seen) and then we headed to Golden Gate Park to play on the carousel and in the fall colors. I hope you guys had as much fun as I did, thanks for the special day! Oh and I would love to go to Ireland with you - yes please :).

Mommy & Daughter(s) Session - {Mill Valley Family Photographer}

Such an all things girly afternoon I had with this sweet Mom and her two daughters. We started out & ended the session with a little tea party (of course no little girls day is complete without!)  I wish I had photos with my Mom at this age, what a great idea! And speaking of women, I should mention that this family was the winner of my auction donation to Dress for Success, an inspiring organization that provides disadvantaged women with clothing for work. Such a great organization, check it out if you haven't had a chance.  Thanks again girls for the warm and wonderful day in your backyard, enjoy the highlights!
