I stood at my back door and listened as all my neighbors howled into the night. I felt connected to people I have probably never met, all feeling similar feelings of isolation.

Tiburon Maternity Session I thought I was a pretty big Disney fan until I met Kyra and Byran. They definitely out rank me in both DVDs and trips to Disneyland. Their wedding was even Disney themed! I love their enthusiasm and I’m lucky enough to call them both friends and neighbors. So it goes without…

Earlier this spring I had the pleasure of photographing this fun couple just a few days before their first baby was born. Together with their pup, we wandered some of the back roads of napa, in search of scenery. At the time, they did not know the gender of their little one so it was simply…
When Brad and I were planning this portrait session/surprise proposal for his girlfriend, Catherine, we were worried about what the weather would do, but lucked out with some lovely sunshine and clear skies. However, you can’t escape the wind on the San Francisco coast. We made sure to get some fun photos with the Golden…
