Im tearing up over here!! What a precious photo of your precious girl. Congratulations on all the millions of choices that you have made over the past two years and nine months to create this vibrant, healthy, fiesty little girl. You are a wonderful mama. I love you both.

Lina and Michael’s Engagement Party | San Francisco Fairmont Hotel | San Francisco Engagement Photographer

I had the total privilege of photographing Lina and Michael’s engagement party at the San Francisco Fairmont Hotel on Saturday. I’m so excited about the beautiful photos that I had to post this one sneak peek. More coming soon.

Congratulations Lina and Michael – I’m so excited for you!

Sarah and Eric’s Engagement Session | San Francisco Ferry Building Engagement | San Francisco Engagement Photographer

Though taken in San Francisco in the wintertime, these photos have a summery feel. This has to do partly with our luck in getting a gorgeous December day, but also so much with Sarah and Eric. These two truly shine. I liked them both from the moment I met them, and am so excited to photograph their wedding at the Palm Event Center in October. In retrospect, I have to laugh remembering a conversation Sarah and I had shortly before the shoot, in which Sarah wondered whether she and Eric would feel at ease in front of the camera. I came prepared to pull out all my tricks for getting people to relax, but this proved entirely unnecessary. Sarah and Eric were naturals. I hope they forgot, if only for a few moments, that the camera was there. I love what we got here and can’t wait for my next chance to have these two in front of the camera again. Congratulations Sarah and Eric, I had so much fun.

A Special Storytelling Project

The last few months have been busy with weddings, so I haven’t had a chance to share much about the other part of my work: documenting people’s lives through a mix of photography and storytelling. This year, I had the opportunity to do a very special story. Eventually, I promise I’ll share at least part of it on the blog. For now, here’s a quick sneak peek.

I hope that your week will be full of sweetness!
