Wedding Photos: Cynthia & Guillermo (Hayward, California)

I get to witness some very special moments, thanks to my photography. This was a private wedding ceremony, held in a local park on a quiet morning. There was such joy in this ceremony and the journey of these two together. Afterwards, we spent some time wandering and exploring the park, letting these two enjoy their first few moments as Mr. and Mrs.

It’s always a treat to return after a maternity shoot to meet the newest family member! I got to spend time with this family, enjoying good company and conversation and capturing some photos along the way. Congratulations on your new little one!

This shoot was certainly a fun one, with a lot of important life events to focus on. Cynthia and Guillermo wanted to meet up and take some maternity photos before becoming a family of five and celebrate their journey together as a couple. We hiked a bit through a park in Oakland, enjoying chatting and settling in for some photos in lovely little spots.

Maternity Photos: Carolynn and Chris (Hayward, California)

There are some couples that I get really excited about working with; Chris and Carolynn are one of those couples. I’ve done maternity, newborn and a few other photo sessions with them over the past few years and always enjoy catching up with them. They are so natural in front of the camera and game for almost anything, which always makes for some great photos. We recently met up for a maternity session to celebrate another baby on the way. Congratulations!

Family Photos: the Gburs (San Francisco, California)

This family photo session happened during the holidays and was the best way to end my photography for the year. The locations we visited were great and were great backgrounds, but this family is what made the shoot for me. Each one of them is silly, fun and at ease in front of the camera! You can really feel their connection just by spending time with them and hopefully through these photos too. Enjoy!

(These two – recently engaged and I got to see the coolest photo of the proposal, which he caught with a self timer during a time lapse image. So, so cool.)

Family Photos: the Dunns (Hayward, California)

After a fun maternity shoot, I got to meet their sweet daughter. The family wanted to wait until all the holiday decorations were up, which made for a very festive photo session. It’s always fun to capture the early moments of a new baby in the family!

Family Photos: the Penticos (Castro Valley, California)

I always have a good time when taking pictures means hanging out with good friends! It’s always an honor to capture families as they grow and change, even more so when it is my friends asking me to capture these photos as their kids grow up.

Family Photos: the Wolffs (Berkeley, California)

I met up with this lovely family in Berkeley, where all of us had a great time exploring the Botanical Gardens. There were so many great photos throughout this session, that it was hard to narrow down the choices for a blog post. Looking through them I am so drawn to the big smiles, laughter and sweet relationships between the family members. Enjoy!

Whenever possible, I always like to take time to get a few photos of just the parents. This relationship is so important to the entire family unit and I want to take time to appreciate their bond too!

Wedding Photos: Anastasia & Ben (San Francisco, California)

What a wedding! Anastasia and Ben chose San Francisco for their destination wedding (traveling all the way from Australia), telling me they had always wanted to visit this area. That is such a special way to see a city and celebrate such an important event at the same time. They chose San Francisco City Hall for their ceremony, which is an absolutely beautiful building, with a reception at the Marines Memorial Club. Everyone involved was so excited to celebrate the bride and groom on their wedding day and it was a pleasure to spend a day among such sweet people.

Ceremony venue: San Francisco City Hall
Reception: Marines’ Memorial Club
Flowers: Farmgirl Flowers

Family Photos: the Coates (Berkeley, California)

This is one just one great family and good friends to us. I got the chance to capture all of them together at the Tilden Botanical Gardens in Berkeley, California. Looking back through the photos, I couldn’t help but smile at some of the moments captured – these little glances and interactions add up to a lovely family relationship.
