Karen is well known for making the best chocolate chip cookies in all of the Bay Area, (or at least Alamo). Although she’s had a rough year, she continued baking those delicious cookies for others almost throughout her 7 months of cancer treatment. I think that says a lot about her determination, generosity, and …
She left her kids with her husband for the first time to fly out to Danville for The Beauty Project. As a busy mom of four, I could SO relate to what she said in her application: My name is Kelly . I am 35 years old, married for almost 12 years, and a …
I’ve been MIA from this project the last couple of months because, ironically, life was moving too quickly for me to document anything personal with my camera. I’m happy to be back this month with this incredible group of photographers. The day I had been both looking forward to and dreading for over a year …

Back in July when I announced The Beauty Project here on my blog and on Facebook, my email filled up with applications from women of all ages and backgrounds and shapes and sizes. After reading all of the applications, I settled on six wonderful deserving women. This month I’m welcoming them into my studio for …
I’ve missed this project the last couple of months! Life got in the way and I just couldn’t swing it. But I’m thrilled to be back this month. Our summer has been full of trips Utah to see family, 9th, 12th, 15th, and 18th birthdays and parties, baseball. Sunday dinners at Grandma’s, new braces, movies, …

As I sit down to type this blog post, I’m reminded, for the fifteenth time this week, that I have got to find a pair of nail clippers to hack off my paint-stained-desperately-needing-a-trim fingernails. But every time that thought pops in my mind, I’m always busy doing something else; making dinner, running kids to …
More from this fabulously fun session with my sister and her family… My very favorite:
We just got home from an action packed July 4th week with my mom and my sister, Jennifer and her family in Utah. As I do every year, I took their family portraits. What I love most about them is their willingness to be creative and do something out of the ordinary. Last year, you may …
Last week was a whirlwind of craziness as our oldest graduated from high school. It was an emotional week but we made it through and she is the proud new owner of a high school diploma. All eyes are now on college prep for the fall. But I wanted to post a few personal pics …
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 …

“A Jedi’s strength flows from the Force”
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 …
