waiting - {San Francisco Maternity Photographer}

That anticipation before baby, I love it. I love capturing it, feeling it and seeing it in the eyes of Mom and Dad to be. Those were the exact feelings I could see just pouring out of the camera of these two, both shy and lovely in front of the camera. I knew it was for certain when she said, I hate being photographed but I'm doing it for her, an example of what so many mommas do for their kids, put them first. Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zones for her and what beautiful, organic images came out. Looking forward to meeting her very soon. xo Jenna

Christmas Father of the Bride Wedding - Ryan & Brittany

What a wonderful way to end the holidays with this special Christmas wedding, filled with hints of red, tradition, and an at home reception. Every girls dream, to have their wedding at their parents home, just like Father of the Bride, but not everyone can have a winter wonderland come to life complete with an ice sculpture and dance floor over the pool like Brittany and Ryan did. What a magical day...

I feel so lucky that I was the one that got to capture it all - those smiles ear to ear, the special touches done by Ryan's sister from Franny Bee Designs, a bridal party that had lighting design done (awesome!), a smooth running day thanks to Megan at La Partie Events and... a super fun party!  Such a special day and thank you for having me there to take it all in with my camera. Special thanks to Emily as well for 2nd shooting with me! You rock!!
