Many of my friends have made the jump into parenthood in the last year, with more babies currently on the way. There is no job harder or more rewarding, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to hang out with these amazing new people every chance I get!

Kelly and Greg booked me to photograph their beautiful San Francisco City Hall wedding last December, and this year I got to spend some time with them and their newest family member, Max. These two are always well dressed, and it looks like Max will be following in his parent’s footsteps, check out that adorable sailor outfit!
It doesn’t seem possible but we’re already deep into November and approaching the holidays, solstice, and New Years, so it’s a great time to order your holiday cards.
I started sending seasonal cards a few years ago, and it’s become a slightly insane tradition around here to come up with an idea and force our cats to pose. Poor kitties.
Last year I partnered up with Minted and have used them to order everything from holiday cards to commitment ceremony invitations. They have modern designs from independent designers, use high-quality paper stock, and their printing is top-knotch. This year they’ve introduced more options for seasonal cards, including different shapes, cardstocks, and sizes.
I also offer more traditional family portrait sessions of course!
Interested in booking a holiday portrait session with your pet, parent, or family? I’m offering a Thanksgiving weekend SALE on two-hour portrait sessions, in your home or a location in or around San Francisco for a big discount at $175, includes a privately-hosted web gallery for print ordering, web-ready files to share on Facebook, and a free 8×10 of your choice.

Kelly and Greg’s child has arrived, and he’s beautiful.
More photos to come, we have a newborn session scheduled for once the family gets all settled in at home.
From a recent family portrait session in Alamo Square park.
The bay area is back to feeling cold and wintery, but a few weeks ago you’d never have known it was January! I took advantage of the warm weather to do a few outdoor shoots and spent a few hours in Alamo Square park with these adorable twins (their parents tagged along as well.)
Much more cute below the cut!

Our annual trip to Arizona to visit David’s family often finds us taking a trip to the playground with the kids to burn off all that sugar-induced energy. The ‘kids’ are also rapidly becoming teenagers, it’s so very cool to see them turn into interesting young adults. This trip I was testing out my holiday gift to myself – the Canon 35mm 1.4 lens. This lens is absolutely fantastic. Super sharp, great color fidelity, and is rapidly becoming one of my new favorites.

My mother and father, looking dapper in purple. We surprised them with a last-minute visit on Thanksgiving. Aren’t they cute?
This is my cousin, Sunny, and her sweet puppy Chewbacca.
Last week David’s niece came for a visit, her first time in San Francisco. It was really fun playing tourist, but I think her favorite things were the mall, getting to watch as many movies as she liked on Netflix, and climbing this tree in the park.
