I love photographing in clients’ homes.  I actually prefer it over shooting in a field or at a park or in an alley somewhere.  Wanna know why?  Because it’s personal and unique and comfortable.  Nobody else will have the same location in their photographs.  For most of us, home is one of our favorite spots.  It’s where we start and end our day with the people we love most.  It contains all of our favorite things.  Most of us have spent time and money and a bit of blood, sweat, and tears to make it “just right”.  Home is personal, unique, and comfortable.  Home is… you!  And 99% of the time, no matter the size or location, we can find beautiful light in every home.

That’s one of the reasons I was thrilled when I found out I’d be photographing this fun young family at their home in one of my favorite Bay Area neighborhoods.  The tree-lined streets are filled with cozy unique homes full of vintage character.  When I stepped into their home, I could tell they had worked their own magic to make it “theirs”.  The nursery alone was beyond amazing with walls full of skyscrapers and a mobile that was so very cool.  And this couple fit their home to a T.  They are young and talented and so very sweet.  I’m thrilled to have had the chance to photograph them with their adorable new baby, Oliver.  He was just the cutest little guy and such a trooper as we changed outfits and diapers and rooms and locations.  Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon!
