One of the things I love most about photography is that it’s just another form of ”people watching” – one of my favorite things to do. You can get in close and not only observe, but capture, the array of emotions that occur in all of us. Take Aria, for example. There was a birthday party at the park where we were taking pictures and all the kids were playing with huge tubs of soapy water and making bubbles. They invited Aria to come over and play with them and she was so excited! Watching her gaze at the enormous bubbles, mesmerized, as they floated by, made me yearn for a time when I thought there was nothing better in life than a bubble. To be so enchanted with something so insignificant, made me stop and think about all the things in my life that I am thankful for and that I don’t take enough time to truly appreciate. I am so fortune to be constantly surrounded by wonderful people, like Brittany, Dan, Aria & Avery, who are not only are my incredible clients, but who enrich my life by allowing me to peak into their world. So I thank them. And I thank Aria, for being that sweet and innocent little girl who made me smile one afternoon in a park somewhere.

London Turns 9 Months
London keeps getting cuter and cuter every time I see her. Since it was time for her 9 months photos, I headed out to her home in Antioch to see what she’s been up to! She was kind enough to let her mom and I put her in her adorable Halloween costume. She’s growing up so quickly! Her mommy, Nesha, told me the day after I was there that London took her first steps! Way to go London!
Santa Clara Kids Portrait Photography | Dasha & Family
I always have a wonderful time when I visit this family and I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I last took pictures of Dasha! This time was extra special as they had family visiting from Russia for a few weeks and thought it would be fun to include everyone in the photos! Although it was a bit windy, we had a great time running around the in the park near their house. Dasha is growing up so beautifully and she is becoming quite the photographer to boot! She showed me some of the photos she took on her camera and they’re really good! What fun – I hope she continues to pursue it!
Family Portrait Photography | The St. Claire's
Last weekend we headed out to take some photos of the St. Claire family in the Presidio in San Francisco. Thankfully it turned out to be a beautiful day in the city and we were able to get some great shots! We had a lot of fun spending the afternoon with this wonderful family and their playful puppy, Finbar!






Antioch Family Photography | Baby London
How lucky am I? Last Saturday I got to spend the day in Antioch surrounded by beautiful girls. My friend Nesha (whose daughter Mersayis has been a huge hit on our site) recently gave birth to another adorable little girl, London Presli. London is the cutest thing I have ever seen! And what is even cuter is how incredible her big sister is with her. All I could think about driving home was how wonderful it must be for Kenny (Nesha’s handsome husband) to have all of these amazing women in his life. :)
