Jung Ah and Chris coming soon!

Leave some cuteness for the rest of us! Thanks, J and Chris; I loved being a part of this wedding.

Liz and Joey Engagements, coming soon

Winners of my annual engagement giveaway contest, Liz and Joey, on this gloriously sunny day at the beach... coming soon!

Aditi and Michael's Engagements, coming soon!

So beautiful, so in love, and so much fun! We did lots and lots of giggling and shooting.

My baby girl is ONE

My tiny girl is a big ole one year old now!



How did she go from this:



to this?



Curly curly-headed girl:



I wonder where she gets it? :)





We had a great little birthday party and family day. She keeps me on my toes so I just keep photographing her as she grows... perhaps someday she'll hold still enough for me to go through them all!

Honey Grace and Nate, engagement photos, Doyle Park, Santa Rosa

The lovely HoneyGrace was our fantastic doula, almost one year ago! So it was such a treat to be able to do these engagement photos for her and Nate.



















Nate couldn't resist monkeying up the tree:







And some of Honey alone... gorgeous!

































I'm so happy with how these photos turned out! What a sweet couple, sweet light, great day.

playing with film/ gratuitous photos of Symphony

I love shooting digital for many reasons... but I also love, and miss, film. I started out shooting, developing, and printing (by hand) black and white and color films. So sometimes I let myself play with 35mm or 120 film. And my favorite person to play with these days happens to also be really really cute!

Have you noticed her curls?



And cute, sweet grin?



And cute, devilish grin?







Film gives you some delicious skin tones... especially the skin on this little peach.



Although either film or digital can capture unflattering goofy faces...



And then the same face all over again a minute later!



But eating is still a new skill, takes concentration...





We hung out with our friend and favorite stripey chicken, Monroe! Also a fan of film (cannisters).









And enjoyed the kitties and sunlight:







And then I covered her face and little curly hair in kisses. Another good day.

If you're interested in having me shoot any film rolls for your event or portrait, just let me know! xo
