Clare and Rob :: Berkeley Wedding

I knew right away when I met Clare that she would make a stunning bride. She was tall and elegant and had the most beautiful coloring. Then, Rob walked into the Starbucks where Clare and I sat talking about their wedding plans and she absolutely lit up. He is charming and handsome and clearly, they love each other very, very much. This is the kind of couple that I really enjoy working with. The thing is that I LOVE being around people who are in love.

Clare and Rob were married last weekend in Berkeley surrounded by their family and very best friends. It was an intimate ceremony followed by dinner at a lovely restaurant on the water. Clare and Rob made me feel like one of their guests and I was even treated to an amazing eight-course dinner. Thank you, Clare and Rob, for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day. It was one of my all-time favorites and was the PERFECT way to end 2010. Merry Christmas!

What it's all about...

At this time of year, it's easy to forget what it is that we work so hard for. For me, it's all about these little cuties. They bring me such joy during the holidays and every day.

Holiday Season Overview

You know how you feel when you FINALLY finish your holiday shopping? You've planned and planned, braved the crowds over and over again, dealt with people who you actually believe may be direct descendants of SCROOGE, and stayed up late wrapping gifts after everyone else is fast asleep. You know that big sigh of relief you have after the holiday craziness has finally subsided and you realize that you are DONE? Multiply that times a MILLION and that's the sigh of relief I just took after finishing the busiest holiday photography season of my life!!!! It was crazy, sporadic, exhausting, and invigorating all at the same time. And now, after my final wedding of 2010 last night, I am officially DONE!!! I love my photography business and am so grateful for all of my amazing clients but I am ready for a little break...and it begins now, just in time (because I actually thought that my head might fall off a few times recently!).

So, as promised, here is an overview of some of my favorite moments from a handful of sessions this holiday season. I SO enjoyed working with all of you! See you in 2011!!!!!!
