It was a pleasure spending the morning with them <3 Here are some of my favorites. It's always an honor to be included in such special moments in peoples lives. Thank...

With the abundance of rain we've had this year came the abundance of green grass, and even some early wildflowers here in the East Bay hills! No better backdrop to stick this beautiful expecting couple in to dance into the sunset. They were so cute together, feeling for baby kicks, enjoying each others company, and soaking in their surroundings. Th...

Just for fun, I decided to enter a photo contest called Shoot & Share. Turns out there were 332,768 photos entered (spread out over multiple categories). Anyone could enter; anyone could vote. Kids, grandmas, photographers, hobbyists, etc from all around the world voted! It was more fun than I expected. After 12 rounds of voting and winners SLOOOWW...

Let me start by saying, I was so excited when I was asked to shoot this sweet engagement session! I've known this guy since the 8th grade when my family moved in down the block from his. I have so many fond memories from the days of running wild through the neighborhood without a care in the world, getting into trouble, and most of all laughing lik...

It's about time I blog these beauties. I've known this amazing lady for more than half my life and have watched her succeed in a lot of things in her life, but I couldn't be more proud of her and the way she's handled her journey into motherhood. It's been beautiful to watch and an honor to capture....here are some from early on. And, just a lit...

Today I'm taking it back to this cute little country wedding I photographed back in May! This adorable couple said 'I do' at the center tree of an olive grove on the grounds of Joyful Ranch in Vacaville, Ca. Complete with a beautiful historic Victorian home to get ready in, and a barn to dance the night away, it was a Joyful occasion indeed! Her...

If you follow my work you can see that I love to photograph pretty much everything, but newborns are a favorite of mine! Not just because they are cute, but because they are never easy (yep, thats a reason why I LOVE them) I do these sessions in my clients homes where THEY are most comfortable, but I am not! I walk in having no idea what the condit...

We went back and forth planning this session. The weather was ugly and all my outdoor spots were muddy and cold. When I suggested an in-home lifestyle session I could tell there was a little uncertainty. "How could we possibly do a photo shoot in our home?" Sometimes that is the BEST place to do one! This ended up being one of those times and is on...

Those first hours after your baby is born are so overwhelming... Everything is a blur in these first hours, and its gone before you know it.

He's this sweet co...
