Seven month old and family visiting San Francisco | San Francisco Family Photographer

I have been lax about updating my blog lately. I am still catching up with our move, trying to sell our old home and juggling home and work. I wanted to share some images from a family portrait session last weekend. This was a special family session which was purchased as a gift by the […]

Michelle - Alpana,
The photos are absolutely stunning! I have been running around the office getting people to pull up the site to look at the photos. We cannot wait to see more!

Dorothy - When I looked a those pics, I thought that was the most beautiful child and the hat really was perfect for her! The rest of the pics were well done, but that one picture certainly is most beautiful!!!! What a handsome family!— Dorothy

John - I love these pictures. She has gorgeous eyes. Hope to see you guys soon.

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

Typically, I chase much younger kids but this session was about active twelve year old fraternal twin boys. Soccer was their thing so they came armed with their balls and spent a good deal of time kicking the balls around. Mom wanted natural photos of the boys being themselves. “Not too natural” she said, as […]

Nanci - Wow, these turned out very well – especially with the challenge of catching both of them with nice expressions at the same time. We’re looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for working with us and our soccer balls!

marie - these are so fun

I knew a man in college who grew up in the inner city of Chicago & what he was doing in Iowa I never did figure out. But whenever he would see a jet trailing across the sky, he would stop everything he was doing & he would watch. Once, after a jet was gone […]

Leah - I love this Alpana. IT’s beautiful. I’ll be sure to think of it often. My life would be so different without our group. It’s enriched because each person and child has touched me in different ways. Kathy once sent me a sign that says Praise The Lord and it’s hanging above my door. I think of her and remember to pray now and I won’t quit.

Shelly - Alpana, I too believe she will fight and if anyone can overcome such news it is Kathy. She IS a fighter and will fight as hard as she has to. Your words are very moving and I love the Story people message.

Lynda - That message is wonderful Alpana. Miracles do happen and I believe Kathy will be our miracle. Constant prayers for Kathy.

almost moved!

I realized that I hadn’t posted an update since out move. We moved a couple weeks back though still have some painting getting finished up to let the dust settle and start unpacking. It took us a bit to get our internet connection going and my email has also been down quite a bit. My […]

orange | san francisco family photographer

I have a thing for the color orange and just love it as a part of my living space. You might have seen the orange wall in our current home. For our new home, I wanted to keep the colors muted and I thought I’d have to give up the orange. With my color indecision, […]
