Abellera Family

I have known Sue for many years, and was thrilled when she ask me to take her family photos. I was a little worried about the weather because it was raining the night before, but when I arrived the rain stopped, and we had this nice overcast sky which created the perfect lighting.


This was in their backyard. I wish my backyard was as nice. :)





Katlin the youngest is learning how to ride a tricycle, and Rachel just learned how to ride a bike. So she zips right by her little sis.

Rhiana and Jonathan's Wedding

"Can I borrow 25 cents ?" Is the beginning of how Rhiana and Jonathan met. This was definitely the most interesting story I have heard. They are such a wonderful couple, so relaxed and up for anything on their wedding day.






Jonathan had to sign a marriage contract before he could pick her up on their wedding day.





Checking out her cool shoes.



Rhiana and Jonathan both had matching shoes !!! How cool is that.





They met at De Anza College in front of an ATM machine. The ATM machine is no longer there but we had to take a photo of where it all began.

Cassandra and Herbert Wedding

The blending of traditions, Cassandra and Herbert had a traditional Chinese tea ceremony at their home, and wedding ceremony at St. Marks Church in San Francisco. Here are a few of my favorites shots from the day.






Before Herbert could pick up Cassandra he had to participate in some games to test his love and devotion to her. Here he is dressed as a hula dancer and sticking his foot in a bucket of ice water trying to pick up mahjong tiles.

Shiva

I remember as a child I loved going to the local playground and playing on the jungle gym and swings. When Shiva parents called me up to photograph him playing at their local playground I was pretty excited. It was a trip down memory lane.












While we were there Shiva's friend Indira was a the playground too.

Rianne

I met up with Rianne and her parents on this rainy Saturday morning. What a great way to start the weekend. It was so much fun. Rianne just woke up from her nap when I arrived. She was refreshed, full of energy, and full of different expressions. Here are some of my favorites.







A mother daughter moment.
