Lauren

For the last few years I have been donating a photo session to the Silicon Valley Children's Fund charity auction. This year my photo session was combined with a birthday party at the Santa Clara Firehouse. I was thrilled when I learned I will be shooting inside a firehouse. I have never been to one before. I think I was as curious and excited as the kids.

Here is the birthday girl Lauren celebrating her ninth birthday. She looks like she knows how to drive that trunk.

Conrad 3 weeks

Last month I photographed the Lui family right before their new addition arrived.

This picture really captures the love they have for their unborn child.

Here he is at 3 weeks! Wow, I forget how tiny they are.

Dad and son sharing one of many special moments together.

The Caldwell

I had a fun afternoon with the Caldwell family taking some photos and enjoying a rare warm day in November.  The last photo below is one of my favorite pictures.

Brackett Family

I spent a fun Sunday morning hanging out with the Brackett Family. They were relaxed and easy going during the entire photo session. I felt like I have known them for a very long time.

Abigail was so much fun to photograph. She was all smiles.

Stephanie and Jensen Wedding

Stephanie and Jensen got married earlier this year at SF City Hall. Over the weekend they celebrated their union with a ceremony at St John's and reception at Empress of China. I had so much fun photographing them that the entire day flew by in a blink of an eye.









Almost everyone I know has a old photograph of their parents or grandparents in a similar photo looking very serious. Here is a shot for Stephanie and Jensen to pass on to the next generation.








Stephanie looks absolutely stunning in her wedding dress.

Rohan

It must be alot of fun to have a play gym in your own back yard. All those endless hours playing on the swing and sliding on the slide. That's what I thought when I was photographing Rohan. He was running around all over the place but always ran back to his play gym to climb up the ladder and down the slide.

Heather and Steve Wedding

Take a rainy cold day, add a soaking wet photographer, and add a fun loving couple and what do you get ? An awesome wedding with lots of laughs! Heather and Steve got married at the Brazil Room in Berkeley during the first rain storm of the season. Heather and Steve are so much in love and so happy together. You can see it from their pictures.











The rain stopped for a few minutes and we ran out to grab this photo.
