I am off to enjoy my homeland for a couple of weeks. I am sure time will fly by and I will be back before too long. This is my first solo trip after eight years (since my son was born) and am excited to have some time for some creative projects. I will stay largely unplugged and respond to emails/calls around May 7th.
i busted out the film camera to finish off this roll of film. the light was beautiful but challenging.
i shot around thirteen frames and eight or more are keepers. the rest are silly faces. he was pretty patient with me this time. the first picture in this series happens to be my favorite of him in a long time.
i love film!
…jumping on the bed. I just found the jumping photos as I was prepping the blog post from this family’s portrait session. The six year old and I got to have a little hangout as my son would call it. He jumped on the bed when no one was looking. Nothing like letting off some energy for an active kid and these are the real moments that make for some pretty cool images. And also a great addition for a signature album. They aren’t in this client’s gallery as I typically show 25-40 images in a gallery. If a client orders an album, I end up adding images not in the gallery to help tell the story of the day. I am asked about this quite often and thought I would share it in this blog post.
Back to this lovely family’s portrait session. We finally got a date down after some sickness in the early months. As luck would have it, PG&E randomly decided to turn off power that day. The family decided to roll with the punches after some back and forth and it turned out to be a great decision. Mom was worried about not having lights working. That wasn’t an issue as I work with natural light. The main issue would have been a freezing house which wasn’t the case and the little five month old was such an amazing little model too. The family will forever remember the day of the shoot and have that story to tell 🙂
Aww, these are beautiful. LOVE the life style ones. Great job!
love your style! these are gorgeous and would be perfect in an album!
wonderful session, love your style and the amazing portraits!

This is just the loveliest family session ever. So warm and filled with love and energy. I adore the sibling shot on the bed, so rich and gorgeous. I never tire at looking at your work.
Gorgeous kids! Love the variety and fun moments you captured from this session.
Beautiful family. I love the variety and way you captured them. This babies eyes are so expressive!
These are GREAT! I especially love the one of the little boy with his legos, I can totally relate to that one as my little guy is also a lover of Lego. Your black and white conversion is to die for 🙂
I love these. So much variety and precious moments fabulous work!
So fun and modern! I would have to put the bed ones as a grouping right over that very bed!
The eyes have me. The boys are beautiful. What a nice collection for the family.
Lovely in every way!
Beautiful captures, such sweet moment of their lives. Gorgeous!
Wow ! stunning
This year, I had made a resolve to donate a few sessions for those that would not be able to afford the luxury of a custom portrait session. When my friend mentioned her involvement with a non-profit that works with victims of domestic abuse), I thought it would be amazing to create a story-telling portrait session for a family in the program. Here are some images from that session.
Please do not share the photos without permission!
Those are beautiful captures, such a sweet circle of love 🙂
