Kicking off 2014 well

What better way to kick off a brand new year with an awesome photo session?! These two lovely ladies contacted me last fall to do a session in celebration of their one-year anniversary, but I was unfortunately pretty full through Christmas. (Well, not that I’m complaining about the business!) They were gracious and we were …

Siblings, friends

Erik contacted me a while back, looking to do some photos of him, his girlfriend (Jessica), his sister (Alishia), and her boyfriend (Kenyon). When I inquired as to any particular occasion, I learned that Kenyon and Alishia are moving to Washington soon, and they wanted to have a fun evening out together to celebrate their …

Foodies!

Probably the most unusual request I’ve had for photos this year is to take a few food-related photos for Linda and Kelly of California’s Artisans: http://www.californiaartisanmarket.com/ Kelly is also the author of GrownUp Cookies. In order to keep their blog up to date, they wanted some cute photos of them with different artisan foods, so …

Playing dress up

When deciding on a location, Marjorie suggested we use her new home — she’s renting a room adjacent to a lovely Los Altos home with the most amazing view ever. Meeting at her place was an awesome idea! Not only did we find some gorgeous backdrops, but it gave us the flexibility to have her …

Nina & Kenny Engagements

Engagement sessions are so much fun for me as it reminds me of my own engagement period! Such fun to capture those happy and sweet moments, especially for this awesome couple. Nina & Kenny met in college across the country and plan to get married in New York closer to Nina’s family. They are out …

There must be something in the water

I’ve had so many maternity sessions this summer and fall! There truly must be something in the water around here. I’m so excited to celebrate with Sankalp and Prachi, expecting their first little one — a boy! Here are some sweet photos from our time together.     You can check out more photos here!

Aaaand… action!

When Breanna contacted me about doing some head shots to boost her musical theater career, I knew I was in for a treat. She was such a delight to work with, not to mention she’s gorgeous. 🙂 It rained off and on during our session, but we won’t let a little dampness stop us! I …

Not quite fall…

I think we were all hoping that we could do a fall look for this family’s session, but it was almost record-breaking heat that afternoon! But the show must go on, and I think a great time was had by all! This was a great opportunity for them to get some nice family photos in …

First time parents

I love the joy and nervousness I see on the faces of parents expecting for the first time. This couple was no exception! Ganesh and Divya are so excited and terribly nervous all at the same time, expecting their first little one any second now (if not already!). We had such a lovely afternoon in …

Sweet Missy and her mamma

I don’t have any pets myself, but I hear that dogs are man’s best friend… and sometimes woman’s best friend too! Shrija and her beloved golden retriever Missy are like that.   Due to some unfortunate health issues, Missy will not be around for much longer, so Shrija asked me to capture some sweet moments …
