MJ, You Move Me- Oakland Newborn Photographer

August 23rd, 2012

I vowed to spend next week catching up on blog posts but I was just so pleased with this recent session that I had to post them in between my newborn’s wailing.  This little 2 week old was just the sweetest little bean.  I recently borrowed the movie Hugo from our library and I was so inspired by all of the “picture magic” in the set making that I’ve decided to start advertising fun studio sessions in addition to my regular documentary sessions.  Keep checking in for more fantastical children photography!  And if you’d like to schedule a session and have a few ideas of your own, lets talk!  MJ, thanks for being such a cooperative baby and Mama, thanks for not cowering at the site of a big ole Manzanita branch on the set beside your baby!

Portrait of A Lady- Oakland Portrait Photographer

January 27th, 2012

Maja is an award-winning designer (see Studiombd.com) and founder of both Tikoli kitchenware and online hardware store (for urban doers– you’ll have to see the website to know what I’m referring to) www.machensupply.com.  Maja wasn’t a huge fan of having her photo taken but we had quite a bit of fun.  I’ve worked with many talented designers and art directors.  It was a bit of a twist to have an art director in front of my camera rather than peering over my shoulder and directing the shoot.  There was a mutual trust on both of our parts and I think that the end product was pretty powerful.  I’m not sure which image Maja will choose but here are a few outtakes that I liked from our shoot.  Enjoy this sneak peek!

Welcome Sweet Nolan– San Francisco Newborn Photographer

January 14th, 2012

Just three weeks younger than my son, I was introduced to this adorable 4 week old and I was reminded of how small and dear newborns are upon their arrival.  Nolan was very alert and amazingly prehensile!  I’ve never seen quite a grip on a one month old but considering he comes from a family of cross-generation SF Bay Area baseball players, I’m not surprised.  I have no doubt that he’ll be in the papers some day (if they still exist) and I’ll proudly declare that I  took his first photos.  Thanks for your patience– you guys were wonderful to work with.  I hope that you enjoy this sneak peek.

Cheers!
