I love these guys! During my trip to the Bay Area earlier this month I had the chance to catch up with old friends and photograph the 2 new additions to their family. Light was perfect... it was sunny (gasp, for anyone that's familiar with summers in West Marin this is very unusual) and the backdrop was absolutely amazing. My home is a beautiful place. Always great to see the Fontans. There is a lot of love here...
So I haven't posted anything personal in awhile. It's a busy life as a mom, wife and professional photographer. Our son Reed has grown into toddlerhood and is looking more and more like a little boy each day. He is talking up a storm and makes us laugh with his cute sense of humor. This is a fun age and also a challenge as we approach the "terrible twos" (ahhhhh) But it is amazing to see him growing into his own self.
Last week we traveled to Marin county (specifically Bolinas, CA) to visit his grandparents and my home town. I hardly ever take photos on vacation, weird right, but when I'm on vacay I like to leave the camera & the phone at home and enjoy the moment. But I could not resist taking some portraits of Reed in his 4th of July outfit, a vintage suit that his grandmother found in Nebraska. We headed down to our friend's organic farm which provided the perfect backdrop for this classic Americana style shoot.
Hope you enjoy. - G

Daisy is a fellow photographer, friend and mommy to 2 adorable little girls. She is also a wiz behind the video camera... check out my wedding video she did! It's ridiculously awesome. I've photographed her family before but they recently added a new addition, puppy dog Timmy. I had so much fun with these guys! I love how playful their family is. Let's just say Gangnam style played a key role in this photoshoot...
If you've ever explored pinterest you know there are so many creative party ideas out there. For this little ladybug they planned an adorable ladybug themed 3rd birthday party! I was excited to be there to capture all the memories for her family. Check out the cute details...
