Poised

My session with Lydia honestly made me feel like hitting the gym right after, but instead I had another session to get to after. Lydia had such great energy, so much so that even the breezy weather of San Francisco could not stipple it.  We got some amazing shots from her session, AND I learned some yoga poses in the process… now if only I could find time in my hectic schedule to do them on a regular basis 😛

After recently being happily married, Pauline and her hubby figured they’d go for a second run for photos. You can never get enough photos in a wedding dress and what better reason to wear the dress again. I think I nearly melted when I saw her royal blue heels…

Charmed to meet you

Love. It’s the essence that brings people together.

Things have been hectic lately, especially with the holidays rolling around. However, it was great to take some down time to catch up with our friends at Charmed Events! Finding time was nearly impossible since we’re both stuck doing things we love for endless hours around the clock, but it happened. We even did a mini photoshoot for the wonderful ladies at Charmed 🙂

We first met them at Tiffany and Alex’s wedding and have kept in touch since, working on several more weddings and more in 2012 together. We’re currently collaborating on some exciting (and we mean really exciting) project shoots so stay tuned!

Love to you girls at Charmed Events! We highly recommend them if you’re planning your wedding or special event 🙂

 

Although this session started off a little stressful (it was the day before Thanksgiving and Nancy had a turkey in the oven, that she forgot to turn off before she left), we had some laughs and giggles with Nancy and Brian as the shoot progressed. Nancy’s quirkiness shined through and both Nancy and Brian were great to work with. We definitely look forward to their wedding in 2012!

The juxtatpositon of patterned socks and bright red shoes with the quaint beauty of Madrona Manor created the perfect blend of fun and classic for Tara and Wayne’s intimate wedding. Special thanks to Fern Lee for second shooting for me on this shoot 🙂

I think Myles represented the true essence of what it is to be a baby… because some babies really don’t care to pose pretty. This is the photo story of Myles. Like the honey badger, he just didn’t give a dang. He just wanted his bottle, sleep and clean diaper. This is yet another one of those sessions with a whole lot of laughing.











To sustain the true nature of Myles, these images are unedited.
