Well it doesn’t quite rhyme but it easily describes my most recent family portrait session. This family lives with gusto- creativity, energy, a love of art, music (even hip hop), calligraphy, reading (I’m sure that the girls are reading this entry themselves ;o), and two knowledgeable and nurturing parents serving as the proverbial ‘cream on top’. I have no doubt that these young ladies will someday be two Davinciesque forces, certainly, not to be reckoned with but in the meantime, keep up the great work and I hope that you all enjoy this sneak peek from our session! Thank you for allowing me to spend the morning with you (and for stuffing me with tea and ginger cake)! Enjoy!

Thursday, December 31st, 2009The Honor Is All Mine- Oakland Newborn Photographer
Monday, September 28th, 2009I had the honor of photographing my best friend’s (and my maid-of-honor’s), hence the pun, newborn baby. Just a little over two weeks old, she was already so expressive and animated. Mom and Dad were well rested and up for the challenge which wasn’t a challenge at all– she was just a dream! Welcome to the world Elena! Enjoy this preview of what’s to come!
Somebody’s Getting Married!- Oakland Wedding Photographer
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
Here is a preview of today’s engagement portrait session. We had a lovely morning session in the Berkeley Rose Garden. Brenna and Andrew told me once we wrapped things up that they were heading over to the Grand Lake Theater to buy tickets for the highly anticipated premiere showing of Harry Potter. The Grand Lake being both my husband and my favorite landmarks in Oakland (we always attend their matinees) is a special place. My husband remembers seeing ET and Star Wars there with his father as a child. Well, seeing as Brenna is also an Oakland native, I knew that I had to get some shots of them outside with the marquee and peeling paint the the Grand Lake is locally famous for. I have a feeling that years from now when their grandchildren are looking at that photo, Harry Potter will be as classic to them as Breakfast at Tiffany’s was for me. Enjoy this sneak peek and thank you for a beautiful morning- there’s nothing like love and roses.
