Here are some of my favorite shots from a recent family portrait session… they had the cutest french bulldog/boston terrier mix named Sugar Ray! They are planning on using these pics for their holiday cards this year. The holidays are right around the corner so call today to schedule your portrait session!

(My favorite!)

This month I was flown to the Chicago area to document an art project created by my dear friend Ann Belden. Ann is a San Francisco artist I have known most of my life, and I was so excited to be a part of her latest work! Her piece was titled “Bushel” and it incorporated art and agriculture and the ties between the two. The piece was about the cycle of life and death and it also represented the harvest and abundance. She wove a 16 foot basket out of corn stalks that were still planted in the ground! It was amazing!

I was inspired by her work and the entire experience on the farm. I love being exposed to art, it opens my mind and broadens my horizons. It makes me see the world differently and contributes to my own craft. Check out some of my favorite shots from the trip…

“Bushel”

Here I am grinding the corn with an antique corn grinder while the farmers watch on…

A special thanks to our darling host Judy Bocker who was so kind and hospitable!

This one was taken about a year ago. I like the feel

I photographed Trisha and Lee’s small wedding at the Pt Loma Navy Sub Base. I was greeted by Lee wearing his “blues” and a Harley Davidson t-shirt. I knew right then it was going to be a fun day! You can tell that these two share a lot of love and there were many sweet moments that day. Here is Trisha getting ready… 

Trisha’s vintage garter was worn by her mother 30 years ago

Yes, that is a Harley Davidson ring! 

Each table had it’s very own cute cake!

Since my birthday is coming up (in less than 2 weeks!) I thought I would celebrate by posting some self-portraits from days past. I used to take tons of them, but I haven’t in awhile. 

Here is the first of the series, circa 2003. I look so much like my mom here

This was definitely a fun bunch! Everyone had BIG smiles on their faces all day… They forecasted rain so I was a little nervous to be shooting a wedding at the beach, but as soon as the ceremony started we were pleasantly surprised…

Putting the finishing touches on Eric

Check out the guys!

And then the heavens opened up and we were blessed with a beautiful rainbow! AMAZINGI have recently reclaimed my love for the jumping shot

This little guy was breaking it down! Check out his moves…

The wedding party really brought the PARTY! They introduced me to a whole new level of awesomeness

It’s that time of the year to start thinking about doing your family portrait and ordering your holiday cards! I am now booking portrait sessions at the beach, Balboa Park, Coronado or anywhere that is special to you! Contact me today to schedule your holiday session. 

Here are a couple examples of holiday cards… I have many styles to choose from!

Funny story about Julia… We went to high school together in Boulder, CO! We hadn’t seen each other in 10 years and I run into her at the dog park by my house!!!

It turns out that she lives right here in my neighborhood… It truly is a small world. Julia needed some portraits done so we went to fiesta island for some fun… she totally rocked the cowboy boots and after a little white wine she was vogue-ing it up!

Rocky made an appearance for this one!

This is her pup Bucky. Isn’t he adorable?
