{{ chris, dan, and their two sweet girls }}

Dan and Chris have the sweetest little girls ever! It was such a pleasure to spend Sunday morning with them. I was so inspired by these girls -- their warm smiles, their favorite coloring markers and the great front door. I cannot thank them enough for being so warm and smiley this morning -- you guys are AWESOME!!! More to come soon...

{{ laura, dan and aaron }}

I am so lucky -- I have such a great job! My afternoon meant hanging out with great people and a sweet and adorable baby boy. Laura and Dan are such a wonderful couple and no wonder -- Aaron is such a sweet and smiley little boy. He was such a joy to hang out with today.

Thank you again for allowing me to come document this time in your life. Happy Belated 1st Birthday, Aaron!!

ps. I LOVE the one of Aaron and Laura with the sun behind them -- just makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

{{elissa & ryan}}

Elissa and Ryan are such a fun and creative couple. They were so much fun to run around Chinatown with. We got some really great shots -- the light was perfect, the location was inspiring. Ellisa and Ryan were willing to try out all my ideas (including some of the silly ones).

Thank you guys and congratulations on the engagement!

I photographed a very fun event called "Baby Loves Disco" here in San Francisco this Saturday. Basically it is a fun dance party in a nightclub for kids. How fun is that?? Check out their website for more information: www.babylovesdisco.com.

I got a lot of cute shots of kids dancing, being silly and having fun!!

I will put the link to all the photos in the next few days. Enjoy these for now...

mike and alice

whew! Wedding season is just around the corner for me and I was able to warm up with a really great couple yesterday. Mike and Alice are so sweet -- the love just beams off of them. On occasion, I shoot for a company called Bella Pictures, which is how Mike, Alice and I all hooked up.

Here are some shots: Mike and Alice having fun at China Beach, the rings and shoes -- very important accessories from the big day. And one from my yellow light series (look for more images down the page).

Enjoy...

the yellow light

I was having so much fun shooting in this yellow light without a flash. I love the blurr and motion in these photos. The perfect mood setting to swig champange from the bottle and smoke cigarettes!

Forward in time
