Barrios Family :: Castro Valley Family Session

I have not spent much time around twins in my life. Even as a family photographer, I have not had the opportunity to shoot many families with twins. So, meeting the Barrios Family was exhilarating! Photographing twins just a month from turning two was a new experience for me and was quite challenging. It worked in my favor, though. I work well when I feel challenged. And these adorable little ones could not have been more fun. Who would have thought that twins could have such unbelievably different personalities??? The Barrios Family was a joy to work with. The love they share is ohhhhhh so sweet. Take a look...

Tortorige Family :: Oakland Family Session

I had the pleasure of photographing one of my favorite clients again and this time we met at the beautiful Mills College campus. It was unbelievably chilly on this particular morning but we managed to have some fun and take some great pictures with Olivia's visiting grandparents. Thank you, Tortorige Family for allowing me to document Olivia over the last year!

Stuart and Ashley :: San Francisco Engagement

Stu and Ashley were recently engaged and decided to combine a very fun, super-chic engagement session with an engagement party. I met them at Golden Gate Park where we took the first round of pictures. I even got to meet and photograph their adorable English Bulldog, Dudley...ohhhh how I want one! Then we got in a limo with some of their very best friends and proceeded to a few of San Francisco's famous landmarks. It was a wonderful day and I truly enjoyed my time with them. As I headed back to BART, I found myself wishing I could continue on to the second half of their engagement celebration (cocktails and dinner at their favorite SF locations!!!). Congratulations, Stuart and Ashley! You are destined for a life of love and happiness and I am honored to have captured the beginning of your amazing journey!
