kismet - {San Francisco Maternity Photographer}

I met this fun family a few weeks ago and I just fell in love with them. So so super cute as they expect their 2nd arrival any day now! Big sis and I hit it off quite well I'd say as I got an invitation to dinner after we shared an ice-cream cone at the end of our session together. Looking forward to meeting their new little guy when he arrives and photographing him and his sweet new family. And talk about meant to be - recently my hubby and myself have been painfully doing my Quickbooks for business & running into some issues, turns out this Dad to be is a professional in QB for creatives - thank god for him and our kismet connection! Thanks for all the smiles and ice cream!

Johanna + Frank Wedding - MacArthur Place Palo Alto Wedding - {Bay Area Wedding Photographer}

I can't believe how lucky I am sometimes to be a California wedding photographer, the fact that I can shoot all the way into November and into December for weddings and still have gorgeous warm days! Johanna and Frank's wedding was just that - gorgeous and warm and full of many family and friends (225 actually!!) And although they had their reception at the historical MacArthur Park there were many stops before that for photos - we shot at five different locations, I think their guest count and photo location count might set the record. They were so easy going and fun, it was such a pleasure to capture their joyous day. And to top it off their Mariachi band was outstanding! What a fantastic day and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it!

To my amazing 2nd shooter Emily - you're the best!
