On a map, Sea Ranch doesn’t look all that far from San Francisco. Follow the edge of California northward, and it looks like you could hop right over to this section of the coastline in an hour or two. But of course, it’s actually quite a journey, as you follow the winding roads through valleys…
Welcome to the world, little E! This family has been on quite an adventure in the last few months, preparing for E’s arrival and moving across states and across the Bay, but it’s so wonderful to see everyone here and settling in to their new lives together as a family of four (including Pawblo the…
What an incredible miracle it is that Baby S is now here with us in the world, working her way from someone who didn’t even exist a year ago into whomever she’s going to become one day. And what a joy it is to get to meet her and to see my two good friends…
What a joy to reunite with Cynthia and Carolyn, this time on the East Coast! The Haeler family resides in New York, but all three times I had photographed them so far were in California, as they were here for their engagement, their wedding, and visiting family with little C. This time I got to…
J & A are college sweethearts, having toughed out years of harsh winters together in the Northeast. Now that they have relocated to Stanford, they have moved on to nicer weather and are embarking on a whole new set of adventures together. We embraced a beautiful golden day on campus for their engagement session. See…
A very happy first birthday to this tiny man! His parents decided to throw him a Costco-themed party to mark this momentous occasion! Hahaha, absolutely delightful. Employee of the month every month, with his little hair net. Attendees filled out a trivia quiz with questions about Costco and about Leo and his parents! The prize:…
What a joy it is to document my dear friends Dan and Jeri as they journey into this next chapter of their lives! We embraced that warm South Bay sunshine for this magical session in the rolling hills of San Jose. I can’t wait to meet baby girl, and you can bet there will be…
It’s such an honor to document the new chapters of my couples’ lives! It has now been a decade since I first photographed mom and dad, and now it’s year two of getting to photograph the little one too. She even insisted on wearing the same dress as last year. This time we were quite…
Annsa and Arvind have been the most delightful couple to work with through the years. I have had the honor of photographing a series of portrait sessions for them, in lieu of what was originally planned to be their 2020 wedding. They didn’t end up having the party, but they have been wed now for…
I still don’t know what kind of a crazy time warp we all stepped into in 2020, but I am still a bit bewildered, trying to step out on the other side. The Lynch family was one of the last photo sessions I photographed before we all went into lockdown in March, 2020, and now…
Sixteen adults, three kids, and a pup. We roamed a small park in Fremont and photographed every permutation and combination of this four-generation family, but no matter what grouping or order you put them in, what comes out is love. Such a joy to document these special gatherings of family over the holidays! First, the…
The gardens at Filoli are the perfect backdrop for holiday family sessions! I had a wonderful time roaming the grounds with these two cousins and their parents for some playful, elegant, and timeless portraits. See a few of my favorites below! Cousins! Such a delight, this is the fourth session I’ve done with this little…
