The Blog is Back

After months without a blog post...


The blog is back !

Along with the traditional "gym workout" resoulution (LOL), my other 2011 resolution will be to blog post on a regular basis.

Last season was really busy and I got some fabulous images with several multiple day weddings,e sessions,
maternity shoots (yes I do those also)

2010 was a FABULOUS year for"creative" weddings. This year I experienced "sensory overload" at some of the most colorful and exciting weddings I've ever seen.
Quite a few couples are finding ways to really show their personalities in their wedding celebrations and it is great.

If you access the "Featured Weddings" category in my web site you can check out a few of the images from some of the 2010 weddings I photographed.

Valentines Day Fun

I spent my Valentines day doing the thing I love the most.
Taking photos.
I spent several hours with 2 of the coolest people - Jeff & Kimberly.

Both Bride and Groom are in the entertainment industry so we put our heads together and headed to colorful Haight district for the engagement session.
By the way - Thanks for the candy
Check out a slide show of our fun day !

Mis Quince Anos

Last year I was asked to photograph Christina's Quinceanera during the holiday season.


What made this extra special for me was that I had photographed her sister Carmen's quince a few years earlier

AND their beautiful friend Paola's quince.

Sort of like a rite of passage in the Spanish speaking community when a young girl
becomes a woman. Very beautiful ceremony and I was looking forward to being a part of a special celebration with "clients" that are more like family now. But I was already booked for an engagement party that evening at the Mark Hopkins.
I found a wonderful compromise. I was able to photograph some potraits and detail images before Carmen's ceremony and my colleague Clifford Bluitt of Signature Weddings photographed the event. I am sure I have mentioned Cliff in an earlier post.
We have known each other professionally for 18 years (yikes!) and words cannot express how talented he is. I live and breathe photography and so does he.
Thanks Cliff !

Better late than never ...

Wow! I hard to believe I let over 6 months pass without a blog post.
The weddings and e-sessions I have done have been fabulous because of the AMAZING clients I have.

Spring isn't here yet but a large percentage of my previous Brides are expecting or have a recent new arrival. I offer maternity,newborn and family sessions and it's always great to reconnect with previous couples.

I have to start with Alan & Deb - the couple I photographed in Italy a few years ago
Care to see images from our fabulous experience in Rome ? you can scroll down to the beginning of this blog or visit the "featured galleries" area of my web site.


In December I had the big thrill of photographing Ted and Amy's new arrival.
Being able to share in the growth of a new family is really special to me.
If you happened to see any of their wedding images on my site or in this blog you will understand why their son is so adorable.

Amy is so creative. She made a super cool holiday card with the images I shot.

Yeah, there's more.
A year after I photographed their wedding, David and Dipanwita added a beautiful son to their family.
Talk about perfection. So cute and I could already see that he has the sweet loving spirit of his parents and siblings. I really considered it my privilege to photograph a wedding day that was filled with so much love.

More to come on "the Baby blog" soon ...
