I’m so excited to meet my friends’ and past couples’ babies! Itty bitty newborns, bright and bouncy year olds, toddlers…this is so much fun!
Kellye, my friend and a floral designer with Precious & Blooming, brought her adorable newborn Cait by the other day. Rather than sleep through the whole session, Cait was wide awake. I caught her dozing once or twice, but usually, she was takin’ it in. At three weeks old, you just don’t see newborns who can focus, usually their stare is a little blank since they really can’t see further than a few feet from themselves. Not Cait!
Enjoy!
Baby Cait a'snooze and awake!

A few of the coolest things about our new studio…
1. Lots of room. As in, the same size as our townhome!
2. Nooks and crannies to shoot and playing with gels and lights and backgrounds and fabric.
3. Having stuff you can buy off the walls, desks, and floor.
I thought I’d combine 2 and 3 and show you a few of the fun things I can now offer my brides & grooms & moms and grandmas and…
A custom made umbrella with either our fine art or images from your session/wedding
This one is from our metal print called Golden Over Golden Gate
Think you've got the cutest grandkid ever? Prove it! Hee! My son Donovan on a purse I got for my mom for Mother's Day
One of a kind mini folio albums, handcrafted and ready for images!
We’ve got a ton more – I wanted to show you the latest commission we just got in for our clients Jeanne & Farsheed but I’m going to wait until they see it first. Don’t want to spoil the surprise!
Okay, back to editing Stephanie & Homero’s wedding – I can’t WAIT for them to see their new slideshow!

Sometimes, when October comes to a close and I’m not in full-on wedding mode, I get a little, well, lost. It’s the “down” time, when thoughts turn towards next year, and I get to meet more newly engaged couples, work on albums…and perhaps photograph things I normally don’t get to shoot from April to October!
One of those is newmommies’n'kids’n'babies. I’ve been having a blast with my past clients, meeting their little ones or admiring blooming bellies. Here’s a shot of sweet Bella!
lovely Bella and mommy
Then fellow photog Alex from Door 51 and I had a blast doing Halloween trick or treat shots at the PruneYard. So much fun to see those costumes and little faces all painted!
Eek! A dragon! Help!
If you’re wondering what Donovan was dressed as for trick or treating, well, let’s just say he changed his mind. He LOVES Halloween, just refuses to wear a costume. The night before, he announces that he wants to be Superman. 7:30 the night before. I race around trying to find a preschool sized Superman costume, Paul finds one, I have to alter it a bit and the next morning…NO WAY mommy. Sigh. So I put him in a red flannel shirt and jeans and told everyone he was a lumberjack.
And then – oh la la! Sexy! I’ve got a boudoir session scheduled for Sunday, and just shot one last Monday a the Hotel Valencia (every room there is stunning, btw). Here’s a sneak peek of what Monina of Natural Images and I did for Monique and Adrian:
Film Noir Kiss
and oh by the way? NO retouching. Yeah, Mo is that gorgeous and Monina that talented!
I wish more couples would consider booking a boudoir session. They’re so fun – it’s like dress up and you feel like a million bucks – or a model worth a million bucks. I would LOVE to have a B-session album of my man. Eowza.
Okay! Enough – back to album design and post production for Marin & Ryan’s wedding!
