Father’s Day is here; a chance to celebrate our Dad’s amazing contribution to our lives. Was it invented by the folks at Hallmark to sell more cards? Maybe. Do we care? Of course not! We welcome any chance to throw Dad a big party….or just make him pancakes.
Everybody gets different stuff from their Dad….could be a ride in the Radio Flyer, could be a deep philosophical conversation (thanks Dad!) Whether he’s a biological dad or a fantastic father-figure, we appreciate our Dad’s in all their uniqueness!
Celebrate this Father’s Day with a family portrait, along with a special gift especially for Dad. It’s the perfect way to remind Dad how much he is loved….every time he sees those smiling faces!
Receive a complimentary 8×10 Gift Print with any family portrait session from June 17-July 17th.
I’ve blogged about little Brooke’s family portrait session in San Francisco’s Dogpatch district, but I just couldn’t resist giving her another feature… This is just too cute.
Sunday, May 13th is Mother’s Day….the official one. To me everyday is Mother’s Day. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t feel grateful for my Mom and revel in her fabulousness. (That’s not a real word, I know, and since my Mom is an English teacher that’s what we call ironic.)
But shouldn’t we pick a day to give special thanks for Motherhood, even though we love our Moms 365? Of course! (I’d vote for celebrating quarterly, but we’ll take what we can get in the federal calendar…there’s a lot to fit in.)
So, get to the punch line already, right?!? Well, this month we will celebrate Motherhood with a chance to do two things all Moms love to do: document their children and save money. You can’t argue with that, so don’t even try.

We had a great portrait session at Baker Beach! These two braved the wind and cold and you’d never guess looking at the images how chilly it was. We timed the session perfectly to capture the lovely late afternoon light just before sunset. Congratulations to a great couple; I know you’ll have a great wedding in Antigua!
If you think of horses when you hear the word “blacksmith”, you’re in for a nice surprise. Meet Daniel Hopper, modern blacksmith. Daniel is an amazing artist… the things he does with metals are truly miraculous.
One of his fabulous chandelier designs was recently accepted at Coup d’État in San Francisco and this past Sunday he held an amazing cocktail party/fundraiser to support this new community chandelier. Once the chandelier leaves the showroom, Daniel will be housing it in a community space for all of us to enjoy.
I had a wonderful time photographing the party in the presence of Daniel’s amazing work, so I’m very excited to share a slideshow of images from the event. Check it out along with other videos at our new Youtube channel.
Being with children as they play and explore the world around them is a magical experience. It reminds me of the joy waiting to be found in the simplest things: finding that perfect rock to treasure, the feeling of the sand under your feet, running with joy and abandon knowing the soft sand will cushion your landing. Thanks to this charming little one for reminding me of these simple, perfect pleasures.
It was so much fun photographing little Brooke and her parents in the historic Dogpatch district of San Francisco. This was our second session together as part of the First Year Essentials package: 3 sessions compiled into a fabulous album. How amazing it is to see her grow!

Congratulations to Jennifer & Jason! What a great day…these two planned a lovely, intimate wedding in the heart of San Francisco’s financial district, at the distinguished Omni Hotel. Jennifer hoped to have the classic SF cable car experience, and with the help of a very sweet driver and patient passengers, we did just that. I’ll admit I did stop traffic a bit when the cable car arrived, but you have to get the shot right?!?! So much fun…..
