this is definitely my favorite style – if i had a little girl of my own, she’d be in tutus and babylegs all the time! my boys can handle the babylegs, but a tutu won’t be making it home in my shopping bag. so i just enjoy the wide variety of tutus i get to photograph this holiday season – more tutu posts to come!
valerie & adam happened to get married on the most beautiful fall day i have ever seen – and in one of the most beautiful buildings in the state. san francisco’s city hall was bustling, but these two were in a world of their own. congratulations, v & a – and thank you for allowing us to be part of your day!











The leaves are on the ground, the colors are warm, and the weather is perfect for fall family sessions around the Bay Area. There’s no better way to spend a weekend day than exploring the great outdoors – and when you do, you’ll want to be sure to invite me along to capture the joy and excitement of your adventure! Each *adventure day* package includes a small coffee table album and 3 mini-albums that fit perfectly in mom or grandma’s purse (a great stocking stuffer!). Schedule your *adventure day* now for your album’s holiday delivery!




for those of you wondering why you haven’t heard anything from my mom lately – she’s cruising to australia with her brother (uncle mike). she was planning on keeping us all updated often, but hasn’t been able to access her blog or email yet… i’ve received a few very brief emails from my uncle just to let me know they’re fine and were not affected by the tsunami, though there have been a few rough days at sea with rain and winds. i snagged the photos below from mike’s facebook page:


leaving san francisco – september 23 – first stop is hilo, HI, and then to lahaina, before a long stretch at sea as they make their way to bora bora.



bora bora – sunday, october 4 (i think) – 84 degrees, showers off and on, and swimming with manta rays!


papeete on monday (oct 5) – moorea on tuesday (oct 6) – and today (it’s actually tomorrow there right now) they are currently sitting on the beach in tahiti. – don’t forget to look for some shells for me, mom! love you guys & miss you!
