Tricia and Baby #2 August 29, 2009

Filed under: Babies, Maternity, Slideshows — aueysantos @ 4:04 am

Tricia and her daughter Addy are members of the same momsgroup/playgroup I belong to.  Since most of the kids are approaching their two year old mark, it’s only natural that a lot of the moms are expecting baby #2. And the cycle begins once more! I was so pleased and honored to be asked to photograph Tricia’s pregnant beauty in full bloom. She looks absolutely radiant in these photos! Here are some of my favorites. And you check out the slideshow here.

Carol & Daniel E-Session August 14, 2009

Filed under: Engagement — aueysantos @ 7:40 am

Okey, I promise I won’t make any corny tennis jokes, but the moment I met Carol and Daniel – they seemed like a perfect love match.  Sorry, I couldn’t resist. *wink* The couple decided they wanted to part of the engagement session at the tennis court, because their love of the sport. On or off-court, I think they look great together! I’m soo looking forward to shooting their Sonoma wedding next week.

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.

Yap Family Pictorial @ Golden Gate Park Music Concourse July 14, 2009

Filed under: Family Portraiture, San Francisco, Slideshows — aueysantos @ 10:59 pm

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.

Menlo Park Presbyterian Church & Legion of Honor July 1, 2009

Filed under: San Francisco, Weddings — aueysantos @ 6:14 am

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.

Baby Bing June 30, 2009

Filed under: Family Portraiture, Maternity — aueysantos @ 7:08 am

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.

Happy, Happy! Joy, Joy + Nathan June 10, 2009

Filed under: Slideshows, Weddings — aueysantos @ 4:18 pm

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!
