I think I have officially given up on my goal to be all caught-up with editing 😉 But...I will always give my clients' pictures all the attention they deserve. Celebrate Love!

I am knee deep into holiday editing! Thank you to all my families for extra patience...I've been capturing many many heartwarming moments that make my digital darkroom studio in the redwoods even cozier ;-)

Childhood light-ness.

That moment when you open your mailbox and find heartwarming words. So so blessed.

Nada, I just want to thank you for being so amazing!!! You are seriously one of the sweetest people that I've ever met! You were so professional & did a wonderful join of capturing great moments. I haven't seen the pictures yet but I can feel that you captured great moments. I saw how you paid attention to detail, made people feel comfortable, & you added to the fun! I am soooo glad that I had you there on such an important day in my life. Thank you so much for everything!!! We can't wait to see the finished product :)

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.

"Hey ya all. That nice lady behind me...that's my mom. Dr. Mom. It looks like I might pull a trick on her...but I won't. She is super cool. And man she loves me!"

11/06/2015

As you might now, I am not into posing. I let the moment happen. She came from behind and worked her way into the picture, in between *her* girls. Watching them grow over the years...extra special.

When I capture moments like this I always think about what he is going to feel when looking at this picture when she is all grown up

Beginning of a beautiful day.

08/30/2015

It was one of those rare perfectly warm and calm coastal evenings and our family session was drawing to a close. I was watching the cliff turn golden, the sky was blue, the cloud above like a canopy, the contrast substantial yet soft. Perfection. My family trusted my vision and ended up with a very unique family portrait that will remind them of their visit to Half Moon Bay.

It's not always just honey and unicorns ;-) Tears and smiles come with almost every session, because that's exactly how little people are and should be. Their little independent selves.

Because of you
I can feel
myself
slowly becoming
the me
I have always
dreamed
