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”

A couple of years back I photographed this family at the Redwood City City Hall. I developed an instant attachment to the images from that session and by now you’ve seen them on various portions of my site, social shares and marketing materials. It wasn’t just because I felt they were interesting to look at: it was because of how A and G felt so at ease with me, and how the love they outwardly showed to their little guy just resonated with me so much. I look back on that session as a model for the kind of photography I continuously want to deliver. Since our last meeting, A and G welcomed a baby girl to their family. She[…]See more from “San Mateo, CA Family & Child Photographer: Welcome back!”

I have known this amazing woman for the past 20 years. Isn’t it amazing to look at that kind of number? We grew up together and have shared every major life milestone with one another. And it all started on a sunny summer day where we met in our apartment complex’ pool. We spent that summer literally inseparable and have been close ever since. While our busy family & professional lives, along with distance keep us apart most of the time, I know we are the kind of friends that will always be there for one another. I’ve been S and P’s family photographer for a little while now too. It’s been an interesting turn, since S attended an amazing[…]See more from “San Mateo, CA Child & Family Photographer: Lifelong Friends”

No joke, I came home after my photo-shoot with these guys and bought myself a pair of knee high rain boots. Why? Because how many chances in life do you get to be this joyful jumping in puddles? After seeing N and A embrace the rain and wet and just have pure fun with their little man: how can you NOT want to do that too? Our session hit over the only and probably heaviest rain storm we’ve had all season. N was a trooper and trusted me when I said: I have a place we can go that will keep us dry. So they came out and we got some great photographs in honor of little N’s second birthday[…]See more from “San Mateo, CA Family & Maternity Photographer: Fun in the rain”

San Mateo, CA Child & Family Photographer: After naps

Sometimes the best time for photography just isn’t the best time for kids. Family commitments, naps, and early bed-times don’t always work with the ideal sunlight hours. Why not ideal? Well, the sun is too bright, often over-head, presenting nice, dark raccoon circles (and other crazy shadows)and squinty eyes… that are really only attractive to raccoons. So what do we do? Those are the days I love to meet with families at their home, and generally hang out indoors. If not at home, under a big wide over-hang, or a place with good, even of shade that gives us lots of room to play. G and family did just that. We met at College of San Mateo on a week-end[…]See more from “San Mateo, CA Child & Family Photographer: After naps”
