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

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 …

Ready for fall

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 …
