Engagement Portraits – San Francisco Laura and Stephan
Saturday, August 15th, 2009Laura and her fiance Stephan were celebrating a two fold occasion with their engagement portraits – she was also an expecting mother of their first baby – a boy. The couple are both transplants from San Diego – sandy beaches and sun were their mantra and what better place than Baker Beach, San Francisco with the Golden Gate Bridge as their backdrop.
This couple was quite the duo – quirky, funny and a great sense of humor. Their love story is right out of a modern day movie: flight attendant, Stephan, won the heart of passenger Laura on a flight from San Francisco to San Diego. Flirting ensued and a short time later they were engaged, pregnant and head-over-heels in love! See a couple of their engagement portraits here:
Maternity Portraits – A Babymoon to Remember
Monday, August 10th, 2009Anna, pregnant with her first child, was excited and looking forward to motherhood. She was a due a couple of weeks later and was literally ready to explode. Her and her husband glowed during the entire photo shoot. I couldn’t help but gush about some of the cutest baby clothing I’ve seen at Bubble, with newborn shirts that say “Nobody puts baby in the corner,” you can’t help but want a kid to dress up!
Here are a couple maternity portraits to share:
World Meet Sophie – Sophie, Take World by Storm!
Thursday, July 30th, 2009Sophie is six weeks old and the most adorable lil’ baby! Her heart shaped face and turning-blue-eyes is shouting “World, watch OUT – Sophie has arrived!”
Please know you’ve been forewarned – this young gal is well on her way to success and fabulousness. She spends her days relaxing in the softest cushiest blankets made east of the Pacific. She beckons her food and makes demands without a “thank you” or “please.” She can poo and burp and receive the highest accolades and not lose a single friend along the way.
Alright, alright – if you must know the truth, Sophie is my niece. But that doesn’t make me bias – that simply makes me honest. And hey, I get it – everyone who is a parent/aunt-uncle/grandparent always says their baby is the best/cutest/smartest although in this case it’s true! And I have proof!
VH1′s Reality TV Star, Margo, from “Tool Academy,” Poses for Family Photos
Monday, July 27th, 2009Margo from VH1′s reality show “Tool Academy” has become one of my newest notable clients. I spent the day with her and her family taking family portraits. She and her family were vibrant, loving and most off all photogenic (of course)! We met at Mare Island, CA which a haunting and beautiful island outside of Vallejo, CA – home to an old military base with most amazing colonial architecture.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Biggest “Ham” is a Portrait Photographers Dream
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009And by “ham” I mean William – an adorable baby boy who works the crowd of women who seemingly flock to him. He’s a week shy of celebrating his first birthday and his Mom was looking forward to showing off his photo’s at his celebration. She said planning his birthday was the next most stressful event she’s planned since her wedding day! Sounds like William sweet talked his mom into all the bells and whistles.
This cutie was a natural in front of the camera – giving little head tilts, smiling, gruggling and racing all over the house. He was days from taking his first steps. Driving out to Central California was well worth meeting William and his flirtatious behavior.
Here are a couple of my favorites of the I-didn’t-want-kids-until-I-met-William portraits:
Toby and Jenna’s Wedding – Sacramento, CA
Friday, July 17th, 2009Weddings are emotional celebrations with crying, laughing, reminiscing and looking towards the future. For Toby and Jenna it was a day filled with belly laughing, tears of happiness and frankly – the most animated wedding party I’ve ever photographed! It was a day filled with heads tossed backed shaking with laughter till it contagiously grew to those onlooking to silent tears streaming down the faces of family and friends who were emerged in the promise of lasting love.
The groom Toby, shined through on his day in the details: a pair of converse with a graphic of a sexy lady (who I liked to call Jenna), all the other groom’s men fell in-suit wearing white, black and red converse, even his DAD! The men bantered between cups of Johnny Walker (or was it Crown Royal?) and acted like old pro’s in front of the camera.
The bride Jenna, was stunning with her long dark hair and light eyes. She was both beautiful and sweet and a sucker for a man her made her laugh. She enjoyed her day and took it all in with ease. She never rushed or looked anxious and kept a constant smile on her face.
What do I see in the future for this amazing couple? I see kids, a couple of kids – and I envision them laughing, at the innocent (and planned) mistakes the kids make, together in private. I see them shedding tears of happiness when they look into each others eyes and say I love you on their 10th anniversary, only to start cracking-up at each other for being so serious.
I see a whole lot of love and laughter! Congratulations Toby and Jenna.
Here’s some of the highlights from their beautiful day:
