One of my favorite client’s little one just turned one recently. I have had the pleasure of photographing her four times so far….yes, lucky me! For her birthday photos I wanted something special. As it turned out my planned photos didn’t turn out exactly the way I wanted. I did get a few good ones but it was clear that at age one Jamey was happier being on the move rather than the confines of a studio. So I quickly improvised and changed the environment. Coupled with mama’s fabulous outfits for her we got some pretty amazing photos. Thanks for a wonderful year with Jamey, mama P!
Today is my son’s birthday so I have promised myself not to spend time working but really couldn’t resist pulling a few off the card for a sneak peek!!

Recently, while watching an episode of 20/20 I came across an amazing solution to reduce pizza box wastage. A pizza box that can double up as plates and also one that can function as storage for left-overs. Sheer genius it is! I hope the idea catches on and the major pizza chains start using it!
A quote about the green pizza box from the Daily Green website says, “”Three billion pizza boxes are used in the U.S. every year,” said Wright. “If you stacked them on top of each other, in two years you’d reach the moon…We feel like we’re doing our part for the environment, one pizza box at a time.”
“A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove…but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.”

I was ever so lucky to meet this wonderful family that adopted this adorable little girl from India. We got to hang out and spend a few hours documenting this time in little R’s life. Did I ever say I love my job?
I so wanted to take her home…
Little R multi-tasking at the window. I was running late but really how could I resist taking pictures in this amazing space?
Couldn’t resist a quick share from yesterday’s family session in San Francisco. I spent a few hours with this lovely family walking around their neighborhood and peeking into their daily routine. Little H had the sweetest disposition and went from awake to sleepy to awake. Hope you like your sneak peek!
ps. Talking about Urban Babies made me think of of one of our favorite books when my son was little. Check it out here.
I wrote about three year old Mariah back in April when I heard about her fundraiser at a local ice cream shop. She was diagnosed with a rare form of Kidney Cancer in December 2008 and has been undergoing treatment since. We talked about getting together for some pictures for a while and finally, our stars aligned. At first, Mariah was a bit tentative and stayed close to mama. She did say she wanted her her pictures taken. Mama even told me that she wanted to wear a dress for the pictures. It just struck me how well this little girl has taken her sickness in stride.
You can visit Mariah’s website to learn more about this brave little girl and how you can help her. Her mom mentioned having wristbands as a fundraiser. They are only $5 each and read “Hope for Mariah.” You can review more info by clicking on the link.
As I design their album I though I’d share a few more from the fabulous session with this Texan family. One of the images selected for the album didn’t work as well so I processed a few more. And I so love what evolved as the see-saw narrative. Here goes…
I had almost forgotten about these T-ball game pictures I took a couple weeks back until one of the parent’s asked about them today. As luck would have it I had lugged my camera the day Rowan got his game ball. It seems that there are a few things that are of significance for the little T-ballers. 1. Hot dog/soda snack after the game. 2. Ring Pop (quite a pop culture education for me) and 3. The game ball which is given to a player based on his performance at the game. The great thing is that our wonderful coach makes sure all the kids get a turn taking the coveted ball home. Being a hot, hot day I almost gave up on taking pictures but boy was I glad to get a few quick ones in R’s moment of glory!
