Shelly and Jon :: Pleasanton Engagement

I've said it before and I'll say it again...my clients ROCK! I am IN LOVE with people who are in love (so I guess I picked the right industry!). And somehow, I have managed to photograph the weddings of couples who are not only in love with each other, but in love with life! Shelly and Jon are so sweet and are planning a beautiful wedding in Gilroy, which I cannot wait for!! Our champagne picnic-themed engagement shoot was a blast (besides the super-sharp weeds that were practically attacking us!) and they were kind enough to bring an extra glass so that I could join them in the festivities! So fun!

Breanna and Steven :: Pleasanton Wedding

Every couple has a different love story. When I met Breanna and Steven for their engagement session, it became clear to me that theirs was one based on a strong mutual respect and devotion to one another. On their wedding day, Steven vowed to take care of and love Breanna. He also made the same commitment to her six-year-old son. It was an emotional ceremony and a very, very happy day. I feel very lucky to have been a part of it!

Brandon and Esther :: Danville Wedding

Brandon and Esther are so in love. Their wedding at the Crow Canyon Country Club in Danville was beautiful and I was moved by the sense of peace that they each displayed as well as the devotion of all of their friends and family. Most wedding days are full of chaos and stress but this one was not. I wish them nothing but the best as they enter a new chapter in their lives as husband and wife.

Millitello Family :: Danville Family Session

I met the Millitellos in Danville on a cold, rainy day. The whole family would only be in the same town for two days and Mom really wanted some pictures of the group. Since rescheduling due to the rain wasn't an option, we sucked it up and met anyway. The rain let up as I pulled up to the park and we got right to work. We all braved the mud and wet grass and, despite all of the obstacles, the pictures turned out beautifully! Thank you for having some fun in the rain with me, Millitello Family! I hope we can do it again sometime when the sun is shining:-)

Anderson Children :: Castro Valley Family Session

I was so excited to hear from Jaime a couple of months ago! They have recently moved into a new home and needed new pictures to put up. These will make a great Father's Day gift!

I met her and her beautiful family about a year ago when I did a family session for them in Pleasanton. Her kids, Peyton and Parker, are soooo cute and absolutely loaded with energy. Peyton was already comfortable with my camera last year but my how she has flourished since then! Something tells me that she's been told once or twice how pretty she is. It's only fair...one flash of those big eyes and my heart melts! Parker, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with me or my camera until he decided he was ready. In typical two-year-old fashion, it had to be on his terms. But once he relaxed, we got some super-cute pictures of him too.

Jaime, thank you for bringing your kids out for another session! I am so grateful for my wonderful clients. I love photographing your family and can't wait to see you all again in August!
