Maternity Photos: the Pahl Family (San Ramon, CA)

When I got in contact with this family, it was for newborn photos since Kristina was so close to her due date. Luckily, things worked out to squeeze in a maternity shoot and I couldn’t have been happier. I got to spend time getting to know this family of three, before they welcomed a new little brother. It was a beautiful morning in public garden space, with some great people. Chad and Kristina are so easy to talk to (not to mention natural in front of the camera), and it felt more like hanging out with new friends than anything else. Excited to meet your new little one!

Wedding: Caity & Nathan (San Ramon, CA)

This fall wedding took place in November, with sunny skies at the outdoor ceremony. As the first daytime wedding I’ve shot, we had great light throughout the day and afterwards as well. Caity and Nathan chose to do their bride and groom portraits after the festivities were over, which meant they were relaxed after such a momentous day.

I was the second shooter for Scott Cognato, and enjoyed working alongside someone new. Having this role also meant that I got to spend a lot of time with the guys – and with an absolutely hilarious groom. As you’ll see below, he treated me to some funny shots during the groomsmen portraits. Caity was the sweetest bride ever, and had the best reactions throughout the day. These two make a great pair and their connection is something special. Congratulations!
