Gracie & Peter got married at San Francisco City Hall, the venue that never fails to impress. The two had their ceremony at the top of the grand staircase, with a close group of about a dozen of their friends & family in attendance. [ read more … ]

Weather can be a funny thing. As I was driving down from San Francisco for Savauna & J’s Point Lobos engagement session, the skies were perfectly clear and sunny. It wasn’t until I started to turn into the park that the thick fog suddenly creeped up on me!

But it’s actually kind of interesting, as all the fog gives the scene a peaceful, serene feel, and by fading everything else away, it naturally focuses all the attention on where it should be — Savauna & J! [ read more … ]

Chung and Justin first met after running the Giants half-marathon. Although she describes it as “totally crazy,” it apparently was just sane enough to kick off a beautiful relationship. They met that day in front of AT&T Park and had drinks at Philz, so for their engagement session last week, we visited these same spots for some photos (and ​☕️​). [ read more … ]

Meet one-week-old Vivian! She is such a great little model with a good temper and she sure knows how to smile at the camera! Bonnie and Judson were constantly amazed by Vivian’s daily change. Let’s see… Vivian lost her umbilical stump to reveal her new belly button on the day of the photo shoot, and she had just learned to put fingers (sometime her whole little hand) into her mouth and make funny sounds with it. She has so many facial expressions and I got some really cute ones!

Bonnie and Jud’s puppy, Miss Georgia, joined us at the end of the session and she was soooo happy but very gentle towards Vivian — it melted my heart! She gave out lots of sweet kisses and we got some great family pictures for the four of them 🙂

Bonnie and Jud (and their dog Georgia) decided to have me document a beautiful moment of theirs before their first baby girl Vivian arrives in this world. Let these photos remind us all how beautiful motherhood is!

Vivian, I can’t wait to meet you in a month 🙂 I bet Georgia is anxious to share some love with her little master too!
