Congratulations, Melissa and Ricky! I was so honored to capture maternity portraits of this gorgeous couple on the verge of first-time parenthood along with their pup, Hazelnut. We met at the Palace of Fine Arts, a San Francisco favorite. Take a look at some of my favorite shots from our hour together.
If you're interested in a maternity session like this, contact me and we'll talk details and set a date!
Media producer, photographer, DJ -- this woman does it all. Pam and I both lived in the Revision3 & Discovery Digital Networks world for quite some time, and it was so good to catch up over some portraits in the comfort of her own home. Indoor portrait sessions give a sense of calm and privacy. Though I always love getting outside, I'm really feeling how the personality of at-home portraits comes through. Thanks for inviting me over, Pam!
By the way, I totally stole this blog's headline from her husband's comment on Facebook about the photos -- thanks, Steve! :)
I was delighted to spend a morning with Susan, starting with some coffee at the Ferry Building and a walk through the Embarcadero on a surprisingly sunny day. We've done some great collaboration of the minds years and years ago (in another lifetime!), and I've always been inspired by her professional and personal feats. :)
Here are a few of my favorite photos of Susan. If you'd like to get your personal branding and headshots in order with a session similar to this, contact me and I'll save your date!
This is my sister, Jennifer, and we took these photos at almost 34 weeks at her home in Dublin. On this particular day, the new crib arrived and we got a glimpse of what Lewis's baby sister's room would look like. Jen, you look so effortlessly beautiful and baby girl will be so lucky to have you and Josh as her parents!
If you'd like a maternity session in the privacy of your home during your third trimester, contact me and we can talk about details before (and possibly after!) your little one arrives.
Also, a couple of outtakes... I call these "working mom"!!! :)

How lucky I am to live in San Francisco, home of the most gorgeous City Hall I know of. I was looking do a bridal inspired photoshoot here, so I dusted off my very own San Patrick Calais wedding dress, picked up an amazing floral bouquet from a local neighborhood shop, and joined forces with my good friend & model, Robelene Novero.
Being a new real-life bride herself, Robelene had her modeling muscle memory down solid for these photos, because she looks gorgeous. Though City Hall can be crowded during the week with tours, fieldtrips, and other brides & grooms (we shot on a Tuesday), everyone was extremely respectful of each other's space. We had an amazing time meandering through the beautiful halls to find some beautiful portrait spots -- there are way too many locations in this single building to show here.
Below, you can enjoy a few of my favorite shots from City Hall. More of my bridal & wedding photography can be found here.
