Hopefully your head is not spinning from the bouncing around from session locations yet. There is a reason I’m doing this. It is purposeful: in big part not to bore you with the same location a whole bunch in a row. This post wraps up my Menlo Park mini sessions at El Palo Alto Park. It was an awesome one that I’ve been waiting at the edge of patience to share with you. It’s finally time! It feels like 2014 has been a year of twins for me. I don’t know how it happened, but I’ll take it! I got to witness the birth of twins, photograph their newborn session, then two sets of twin siblings over summer for There[…]See more from “Menlo Park Mini Session Photographer: Double the awesome”

San Mateo Family Portraits: Loveys forever

Friday, December 19 2014

Our oldest son is now 6. His lovey “friends” still share his bed every night. He used to turn to them whenever he was upset; whenever he was tired. While he doesn’t need and ask for them the same way he used to, I love watching him arrange them each night. I know this time is fleeting, and maybe even a year from now they’ll be an after-thought to his bed-time routine. Little R is very much the same way. His Woof Woof has been by his side since the start, and much like my G and his friends, R and Woof Woof are still buds. Woof Woof for sure has had some adventures. When I saw him along with[…]See more from “San Mateo Family Portraits: Loveys forever”

San Mateo Portrait Photography: 3 + furry one

Tuesday, December 9 2014

I am now one family photo shoot away from wrapping up 2014. It’s been a remarkable year! I feel like I’ve grown a lot, learned a lot, and met some incredibly awesome families. These guys are one of them. I had so much fun with them the morning we met! We’re talking about a family of 3 (+ a furry one, as P said) with an incredibly light outlook on life — relaxed, easy going and with a great sense of humor. How can I possibly not enjoy working with them? And you know what else? P brought me a bottle of water! Small act of kindness, but when you have a morning of mini sessions, it was very welcomed.[…]See more from “San Mateo Portrait Photography: 3 + furry one”

San Jose Family Portraits Photographer: So very rainy

Friday, December 5 2014

Can you say “rain”? Because boy, did it! We had scheduled this family portraits session for back in October, and it just so happened to be the ONE day in October that it rained. I prepared the second time around: and moved us to the San Jose City College campus. Rain or shine (preferably shine!) this was going to happen!!! Rain again, it did — it actually was pouring, and pouring hard right as these guys arrived on campus. I guess they were just destined for rain. I don’t mind — I actually loved how the soft pink colors and fuzzy white vests on the girls played off the soft-gray walls of the building. I love this family. T is[…]See more from “San Jose Family Portraits Photographer: So very rainy”

Gilroy, CA Family Portraits Photographer: Biggest heart

Wednesday, December 3 2014

It’s been a year since I last photographed these guys, and so much in our lives has happened since those family portraits. In that time what I’ve come to learn just what an amazing person R is. She probably has the biggest heart of any one I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet and call a friend. She stepped up in a very big way to help another family through their darkest time, organizing everything from their home to food planning, to emergency kid care, all while her own heart was breaking. She did it graciously, without boasting and ever asking for any credit or recognition. R is the kind of person I can think of whenever I feel down[…]See more from “Gilroy, CA Family Portraits Photographer: Biggest heart”
