I won’t lie: every once in awhile I get into a creative rut, and it takes a fun session to get me out of it. My maternity session with A and C was exactly what I needed and I left that afternoon feeling happy and energized and excited. I couldn’t wait to get these on my computer and start working on them. A and C are expecting their little guy this holiday season. He’ll be their December baby and will join 4 year old Lambchop, who is playful pup with a penchant for squirrels. I can’t wait to meet him! We did our session in downtown San Mateo. It’s an interesting place to work given the foot traffic, narrow side-walks[…]See more from “The smell of Rosemary: San Mateo Maternity Photographer”

San Mateo, CA Maternity and Family Photography: Where X marks the spot

Every once in awhile I’ll have a specific image I need to exorcise out of my head. The majority of time I accomplish this with no special planning, or props, but every once in awhile… every once in awhile I need to spend a bit more time planning. Last week I had one of those shots, and it was something that demanded a bit more help from mother nature. I needed a hill. A hill of golden grass with no distracting structures in the background. I drive by these hills almost daily on the 280, so you’d think that wouldn’t be a problem… except that access has proven to be a challenge. I drove over 2 hours Saturday morning looking[…]See more from “San Mateo, CA Maternity and Family Photography: Where X marks the spot”

One of the striking things about L is her sense of humor. I dare you to not like her! When she’s being silly her eyes sparkle and her whole body expresses her funny-ness. I mean… how many people come up to you and say “You know that site ‘Awkward Family Photos’? I want to mimic some of their photos for this shoot!” So just for you, L, scroll to the bottom of this post ;p I hope that the kids’ inherit their mom’s and dad’s sense of humor. If so, then their home will have to be the funniest place in town.

One of the side-effects of doing photo-shoots in public spaces are all the… colorful… people that I come across. While working with L, an older man came by, introduced himself, and told us that the little boy standing before my lens was Jesus re-incarnated (and the baby in mom’s belly was his best bud James). Well, only time will tell if what he said is true, but I know already that L is destined to be someone special. L has gone through more in his ripe 2 years of life than most people should ever go through. Late last year, L received a liver transplant, after his own failed. He lived on maximum life support awaiting a donation, and in[…]See more from “Shark Bite: Burlingame Child & Maternity Photographer”
