wrapped with love | oakland family photographer

On Sunday afternoon, I spent a couple of hours with this dad and his two boys around their Montclair home capturing their special bond. In the photo below, I love that I snapped the moment when they were all wrapped around each other as the boys clowned around while getting into a “pose.”   Most often, […]

Josephine - Hi Alpana
Thank you for a spending the time to make this photo shoot very special for us. I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with you. You have an amazing eye and I love how your uniquely artistic style captures the beauty of your subjects. It all seems so sophisticated and yet you make everything (and everyone!) feel so natural and comfortable.

Tween twins | San Francisco Family Photographer
