Remember the Toombs family? They welcomed the latest addition to their family – baby girl Hazel, born 8 lbs and 8 ozs. Three year old Ruby loved being a big sister and was totally doting on the new baby. Congratulations to Danielle and Michael and thank you once again for allowing me to capture these precious and fleeting moments.
Here’s the slideshow and some favorite images.
This beautiful girl is two days old and already lifting her head to explore the world! Congratulations to my friends Bing, Cliff, “Ate” Marcy on the newest addition to their family. Here she is – head to each cutesy toe!
It was a great San Francisco Sunday, a little chilly and a little cloudy, but I still had a blast photographing one of my favorite families in the world. My own kids tagged along and it was a semi-playdate, semi-pictorial rolled into you. Afterwards, we headed to California Academy of Science to eat lunch and hang out. Here’s the little slideshow of some of the photos.
I covered this wedding with my friend Manus Chau a few weeks back. The day recorded temperature high of 100 that day, and while we were sweating like crazy – we captured some great images. Wilma and Jonathan were an absolutely stunning couple and we are honored to be part of their wedding day.
I just like the way the title sounds. And apologies to any fans of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. My dear friend Bing is expecting Baby #2 and of course, I had to take her preggy photos! Like most second-time pregnant women (including me), Bing was more receptive to having her photo taken compared to her first pregnancy. I’m not sure why this is the case but in my own experience, it was because I knew it was done with the baby-making and wanted to immortalize the moment. As of my writing this, Bing is anxiously awaiting the D-Day (delivery day not doomsday), so until then enjoy these photos of the baby inside. Once that sucker pops out, double the fun!
Some photos from a super fun free concert at the park, featuring two of my favorites – Sugar Ray and Matt Nathanson. It was one of those days that proved all you need is some good music, good company and plenty of sunscreen.
Sunshine! Happiness! Smiles abound! These three words (okey, four) best describe the vibe surrounding Nathan & Joy’s May 30 wedding. From the get-go, both bride and groom were incredibly calm and chill. This laidback attitude made for such a beautiful and relaxing fun day. And as the celebration unfolded, the couple went around with a quiet content serenity which makes me fervently believe – yes, this marriage will last forever. Here are some of my favorites from the day. And check out the slideshow here: http://www.photograffiti.us/slideshow/nathanjoy/
Oh and for the curious – the fire truck just happened to be park where we shooting. Their love is on fire, baby!
Or perhaps this post should be entitled “aka My backside.”
As a stereotypical photographer, I am rarely in photos. It’s not that I am shy to be in front of the camera. It’s just there aren’t a lot of opportunities. So one big question I’ve had (and perhaps a bit narcissistic of me) is “What do I look like while I am working?” Well finally, I got my answer. During a recent pictorial of three beautiful tween models, my friend and one of the goregous moms (thanks Kaye!) took photos of me in action. And here they are. Hey, my butt doesn’t look that bad. *wink*
Oh in case you are interested, here are some photos of what I was shooting as well.
So here’s our take on High School Musical poster.
Here’s our take on a Sweet Valley High book cover.
And my son tagged along for the shoot, so I snapped him as well.
Are you a dog person or a cat person? I’m personally a dog person, having owned three dogs in my lifetime: a Dalmatian named Dookie and two dachshunds Murphy and Malcolm. So you can only imagine my excitement when my lovely September couple Daisy and Tuan brought along their “baby” Keiko for their engagement session in downtown San Jose over the weekend. Keiko is a beautiful bichon frise and was so friendly. She obviously enjoyed the attention and being included in the pictorial. Tuan and Daisy were looking pretty hot too! Here are some of my favorites.
