Happy Father’s Day | Bay Area Lifestyle Photographer

wenderful — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 18:34:15 +0000

I’ve been fortunate to have had amazing clients through the years. Dads are notorious for shunning the family portrait session but I can honestly say that I haven’t had a single father who fit that stereotype. So to all the dads out there that have been in front of my lens at one time or another, thank you! And Happy Happy Fathers Day!!!

Melissa | SRVHS Class of 2013

Melissa was my very last 2013 senior and we couldn’t have closed out the year more perfectly. The best portraits incorporate your personality so that it isn’t about what you look like, it’s about who you are. Melissa is a happy, energetic, fun, busy, beautiful young woman who happens to be an extraordinary dancer. I was thrilled when she agreed to bring her dance attire so we could capture a little glimpse of the years and years of hard work that have been a big part of her life.

Melissa, you are an extraordinary young woman with loads of talent and I am so excited to see what life brings you in the coming years! The best of luck next year at Purdue!

Six more weeks and counting. The anticipation for baby #3 is palpable. I, personally, can’t wait to meet this little one and find out whether they’ll prefer blue or pink. No matter what, Katie is one beautiful pregnant momma. We were graced with a beautiful evening to photograph her.

Stephanie | Bay Area Head Shot Photographer

I don’t post these often enough, but head shots are a big part of my business. I believe whether you’re in business nor not, everyone needs a great picture of themselves. And usually you don’t realize you need that great head shot until the last minute, for a resume, a publication, a business card, a website, etc… Stephanie was no exception. You may remember her from her Senior Rep Session or her second Senior Session. (Have I mentioned how much I adore repeat clients?) Last week she contacted me because she needed some modern glamour head shots for Rush in the fall as well as for a competition she has coming up. Head shots sessions are quick and painless and I really enjoy doing them. She ended up liking all of them but here’s one of my favorites.

Jodi | SRVHS Class of 2013

She’s a dancer, a cheerleader, a pianist, sister, a daughter, a friend. And, honestly, she excels at each and every one of these things. We had so much fun during this session as she danced in the hills and downtown amid the shoppers.

Jodi, I wish you the very best in your new adventures at BYU-Idaho next year. I can’t wait to see where life takes you!

“What April Looks Like” | Bay Area Photographer

wenderful — Mon, 06 May 2013 06:14:59 +0000

April was a mish-mash of miscellany. Most of which I didn’t have my camera with me to document. Those few times I did bring my camera are recorded in this post along with a few sessions that are more posed than lifestyle but they’re all personal projects so I’m counting those a part of our life in April.

When you reach the end of this post, please continue on to the amazing Andrea Hanki of Pink Sugar Photography. She is crazy talented and I’m always inspired by her perspective.

Sometimes it’s necessary to go out and photograph your own.

Stephanie | MVHS Class of 2013

I love this girl! You may remember Stephanie from last summer when I photographed her as one of my 2013 Senior Rep. She contacted me a few months ago wanting to hire me for another session now that she was preparing for graduation. We met last week on a beautiful spring evening at one of my favorite locations only to find about 50 tents and over 100 uniformed boy scouts scattered throughout my favorite field! Grilled hot dogs permeated the air and I wasn’t sure if we’d have to rely on Plan B for the session. But the beauty of this place is that there are so many nooks and crannies and trails that we were just fine and found some beautiful light to shoot in.

Stephanie, you are such a beautiful person inside and out. I so enjoyed talking with you about college and charity work and your life plans. I know you’ll be successful in school, in your career endeavors and in life and I’m excited to watch it happen. Have the best time at the University of Alabama next year. And thank you for trusting me to document this life transition for you!
