Thanksgiving is tomorrow…wow, how time has flown by this year! Lots to be thankful for and always…take some time to tell the people you love that you are thankful for them. Beyond thankful for my everyday living essentials – food, family, shelter and friends. I’ll be taking some time away from computers and internet so I’ll see ya next week (thankful for time off)! So in the meantime, love live and laugh your way through this holiday! Happy Thanksgiving!

Awww that grump face! Max and Kennedy were my first set of twins to photograph, and boy-oh-boy were they little sweet peas! I photographed their parent’s wedding a couple years ago in San Francisco so it was my absolute pleasure to visit their adorable home nestled in the cutest tree-lined alley (did I mention how much I love being back in SF?!) and capture the whole family.

Happy Happy Friday! I’ve been dying to share more from my product photography shoot with Lifeguard Press. Today, I’m sharing some of the goodies from Jonathan Adler’s Nifty Gifties Stationery and Gifts line coming out in the spring! So colorful, so fresh and I want everything – from the party and tableware, pencils and pens, notebooks, thermal mugs, greeting cards. My personal favorites are the lanterns, wrapping paper and the gadget/cell/ipod charging compartment box (awesome way to  hide those cords!)! (more…)

I couldn’t have asked for a more laid back, fun, beautiful and sweet couple to end my 2009 wedding season! Blair and Nathan were set on having a good time and that is what we all did. I seriously think the stars aligned that day, and I truly appreciate how ‘game’ Blair and Nathan were for just about anything. Today, we have a wedding that combines light, romance, flirting, sexiness and fun-love all in one. A special thanks to my sidekick 2nd shooter Melissa, lots of photos here we go!! (more…)
