Catia Senior Portraits | 12.18.11

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the GAL who’ll decide where to go.

I could easily write a novel about this girl. Catia is truly one of the greatest people to be around- she is confident, super silly, passionate, multi-talented, beautiful, charismatic and true to herself. She’s headed toward amazing things in this life… and I can’t wait to see them unfold for her. Catia, you are open to the world around you and you seek more from every experience. These are things I hope to learn from you! So happy to have had this opportunity to take these photos for you- I hope you treasure them always. Oh, the places you’ll go!

And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3 / 4 percent guaranteed.)

KID, YOU’LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

Ashley and Enrique | Engagement 11.6.11

A bit unsure of how this shoot would unravel, I fled the rainy cold mountains and headed to the valley to meet Ashley and Enrique for their engagement photos. Not far from home the cloudy skies gave way to blue, and the warm late fall sun began to shine. Ashley and Enrique are seriously adorable and silly together, and I love how open they were to exploring the area and being creative. These two lovebirds are expecting their first baby together in February. So, not only was I fortunate enough to take photos of a lovely bride and groom to be, but also a beautiful glowing mama to be. I am so excited about their beautiful backyard wedding next August! Enjoy. ( Oh, and thank you Enrique for missing Sunday football for this!)

Ashley, you are a model!

So many beautiful colors textures and shapes!

The end. For now.

Rashmi and Jim 9.3.11 | Allied Arts Guild, Menlo Park

I LOVE Indian weddings. What can I say? Maybe it’s the cultural Anthropologist in me. Perhaps it’s the fascination with a culture that’s so different from my own. Maybe it’s all of the beautiful colors, the flowers, the rich cultural ceremony, the food, and the people. Did I mention the FOOD?! As a photographer an Indian wedding is the ultimate photo journalism experience. As a human being, it’s an awaking to what is real and authentic- not only in relation to the celebration of love, but to the celebration of life.

Take a sweet British boy, a gorgeous Indian girl and an incredible venue (I am now in love with the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park) and what do you get? The most fabulous Indian wedding you might imagine. It was truly a joy to spend my day with these incredible fun loving, warm hearted people. Rashmi and Jim, your families are WONDERFUL, your friends a true pleasure- but even more, YOU are fabulous! I hope you love these photos as much as I loved taking them. Just a few of my favorites from your day. Enjoy!

An adorable First Look!

Rashmi you are beautiful!

Jim rode a “horscycle” as an alternate to a white horse that the groom usually rides upon entering the wedding ceremony!

And what an incredbile ceremony it was!

A little outfit change for the reception!

A very sweet first dance.

Rashmi and Jim | San Francisco Engagement 7.26.11

It really doesn’t get much better than hanging out with two very sweet-super funny people, taking photos and exploring one of the most beautiful cities on Earth. And yes, I got to do all three of these things on Saturday afternoon with the lovely Rashmi and Jim in San Francisco. We began our journey in the beautiful Presidio in a spot appropriately called “Lovers Lane.” After roaming around a bit we changed gears and headed into the city for some fun shots in a neighborhood of incredible houses with beautiful detail. What I loved possibly the most about hanging out with these two was that it all felt so carefree and natural. The love they share together is youthful and always full of smiles. I left our shoot with an ear to ear grin so happy to have shared the afternoon with them- and so excited for their amazing wedding in September! Thanks for traipsing around with me guys! Here are a few of my favorite shots from our shoot, enjoy…..

Too funny to pass up!
