Palo Alto Portrait Photography | San Francisco Lifestyle & Family Photographer

Becca, Hannah & Craig have returned from Boston!!!  I was so excited to see Becca & her family return to the Bay Area after mom & dad spent the last two years at Harvard Business School.  Even with the distance, I’ve managed to get the opportunity to photograph their family each time they returned for visits.  I was adding up the sessions, and I think this is our 7th portrait session since Becca was born!  And each time I arrive, I’m always stunned at how much Becca has grown and changed and accomplished in the meantime!

On this visit, we met at Hannah & Craig’s beautiful new home.  They completely renovated the house, and it’s just stunning.  Such a great playground for Becca, and play we did!  Becca showed me how she put on her shoes, poured tea, jumped on the bed, practiced yoga, drew pictures, swung on her rope swing and even mastered the monkey bars!  No joke, Becca is just 2 1/2!  She’s quite accomplished.  And a bundle of superfun energy!  Here are some faves from our adventures & many more are in the slideshow:

San Francisco Portrait Photography | Bay Area Lifestyle Photographer | Liam Summer ’09

I was so excited to see Liam again this summer!  I photographed his mama for a maternity session, then his newborn session shortly after.  I so love seeing little guys grow and change, and goodness, Liam has got some personality!  Just check out his hilarious interaction with his favorite monkey friend below!

Can’t you just hear the conversation they are having?

“Hi Monkey!  Wow – I didn’t know you were here.  So good to see you dude!”

“Hey Mom!  Look!  It’s Monkey!”

“Mmmm.  So good to see you man, don’t mind me, I’m just being developmentally appropriate, and I have to eat everything I see.  No offense right?  Thanks dude.”

Okay, I’m done with my “Look Who’s Talking” impression!   I’ll let the pictures of Liam and his two gorgeous cousins, Katie & William speak for themselves.  Here are a few more faves, or for many more fun images from the session, take a peek at their slideshow!  Seriously, there are too many cute ones to share, you gotta take a peek!

San Francisco Engagement Session Photography | Kate + Mike

Sometimes my job is too easy.  First off, Kate & Mike are one of the sweetest, most loving couples you will ever meet – so in love that they are ridiculously easy to photograph.  And secondly, we live in one of the most beautiful destination spots in the world!!!  The San Francisco Bay Area has it all: beaches, vineyards, redwood forests, mountains, The Golden Gate Bridge… then sprinkle in some dramatic fog and pretty much every interesting person you’d ever want to know, and well you see, it’s pretty dang easy to be a photographer in San Francisco.

This session was actually shot right before Kate & Mike’s wedding at St. Dominic’s & Bimbo’s 365 (see this post and this one), so I’m posting this all out of order.  But since by right before, I mean that we literally shot their session 2 days before their wedding, so it never got fully posted on the blog (just a sneak peek)!  Even still, it was too cute to not post fully, so here are some favorite photographs from the session.

Better yet, you should watch the slideshow here, because it’s even cuter.  Really.  Watch it.  It will make your day.  They are that sweet and fun and full of love.  I promise you will smile.

Bimbo’s 365 Club Wedding Photography | {Kate & Mike, Wedding Album, Part 2}

Okay, so where we left off, the ceremony had just finished for the beautiful Kate & Mike… two star-crossed lovers… a match made in the heavens.  You think I’m being overly dramatic.  I get it!  It sounds like it.  But if you knew that these two had met on the back of a private bus on the way to a Def Leppard and Journey concert, only to fall head over heels for each other, you might just believe that hopeful happy endings are possible.  And that is exactly what happens!!!  Isn’t that lovely?!!

And in true style, these two finish their beautiful wedding ceremony, and head to an equally fun and rockin reception at Bimbo’s 365 Club in San Francisco.  They even had their names in the marquee — that rocks!!!

Before we got to the reception, the wedding party bussed on over to Tosca’s in North Beach for some quick photos and a famous lovely Tosca coffee drink!  Yum!  This is a long favorite – end of date night – stop for my hubby and I, although I did not partake in the fun (of course!) during our stop (auto focus can only get you so far!).

To see the entire wedding album, click play & watch the full slideshow!

Here are some favorite spreads from the Tosca’s stop and then onto the wedding reception at Bimbo’s 365 club.

St. Dominic’s Church Wedding Photography | {Kate & Mike Wedding Album, Part 1}

When Kate emailed me about this time last fall in search of the perfect wedding photographer fit, she had me at hello!  Seriously, she is one of the most generous hearted people on the planet, and such a pleasure to be around!  And then you just when you think it couldn’t get any better, you meet Mike.  And not only does he adore her (which adds lots of points), but he is a perfect compliment to Kate.  Goodness these two were written in the stars.  Oh, and they love my photos!  Which makes it all the more fun!!!

Even more fun, is that their love and beauty just radiate through the lens.  And they picked spectacular venues for their wedding ceremony and reception.

I just finished designing a wedding album of their beautiful day, and here are some from their wedding ceremony location, the beautiful St. Dominic’s Church in San Francisco.
