This week’s theme almost didn’t happen. As the sun was setting, my in-house model was busy doing her Algebra homework, I had a chicken on the grill, and I had no plan. Luckily my mom just moved back to California and brought with her lots of fun and vintage things, including my grandmother’s heavy red …

This year I’ve teamed up with 19 fabulously talented photographers in a project called Fifty-Two Fridays. Each week we have a theme and our challenge is to post an image that best represents that theme. We are more than half-way through the year and I continue to be inspired and pushed creatively by my fellow …

I’m off to take the kids to see Cars 2 but I wanted to put up a quick sneak peek for this gorgeous senior. I love it when clients know what they want and Kiana was definitely one of these favorite clients. We headed up into the Oakland Hills to Huckleberry Botanical Gardens, her very …

I’m utterly amazed that I’m still in this project. Twenty-four weeks is a record. But I’m thrilled that I’m continually challenged week after week. Whimsical was not an easy theme and it didn’t help that I waited until the last few rays of sun last night to tackle it. But, I’m determined to post something …

My daughter will officially be 16 in 2 short days! Where has time gone? She went from a tiny toe-headed precocious toddler to a tall and beautiful (still precocious) young lady. That’s worth celebrating, right? We threw her a party last weekend and I’m now coming up for air to post a few. OK. A …
We had such fun at this styled portrait session last week! There’s been so much rain here in the Bay Area that I wasn’t sure if we could pull this off in time for my 52 on Friday post, but the sun cooperated with us long enough to shoot for about 15 minutes. I love …
I love Tuesdays! It’s been almost a year since I started my weekly feature of interviewing fellow photographers from all over the world. In fact, my 20 on Tuesday Anniversary is fast approaching in a month or so and I’ve got lots of fun surprises planned for it! I look forward to Tuesdays and …
What a perfect theme for the start of Spring and the Easter season! I won’t tell you how many takes it took to get something “happy” I will admit to bribery though. It may be spring but this day was cold, she was tired, she was hobbling around getting used to her crutches, and …

I tend not to use any crazy textures in my client work unless I’m shooting seniors. But I enjoy playing around with them when I’m working on personal projects. For this image I used a few textures from Florabella Textures III. Seaside and Whitewash are my favorites at the moment. I love how whimsical and …

It’s Spring Break. We’ve been entertaining our sweet friend from Idaho this week. It’s her first time on a plane. Her first time in California. And when we learned she’d never been to the ocean, we knew where we were headed for her first time to the ocean. We spent the day in Half Moon …
