Jody & Steve – SF Bay Area Maternity Photographer

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 18:35:33 +0000

When I saw the apartment number on Jody’s address I feared we’d be working in a low light situation. Imagine my delight when I walked into their gorgeous SF apartment to find an entire wall of floor to ceiling windows! It has been a long long time since I pulled out the black backdrop for some classic maternity photos. The windows provided the perfect lighting!

Thank you so much for a great afternoon J&S! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

Saturday was a gorgeous day in the Bay Area and I got to celebrate how gorgeous it was by photographing the lovely Rachel and her husband Christopher. We met up at Jewel Lake in Tilden park. I got lost on the way home, driving through the Berkeley Hills, but I didn’t even care, I just drove around with my music up and enjoying the beautiful day.

Rachel and Christopher, I hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

Evangelina – San Francisco Bay Area Maternity Photographer

What do you get when combine 40 acres of almond trees, a neighboring vineyard, a tractor and a gorgeous couple? You get John and Evangelina!

I had such a blast spending the afternoon with E and J on their gorgeous property. This couple has SO much chemistry, I practically blushing the whole time I was shooting. E is so beautiful, she can go from cute to sexy with one tiny movement of a facial muscle. J is a perfect blend of goofy + ruggedly handsome rolled into one proud soon to be papa.

I can’t wait to join them again when they welcome their daughter.

Fun fact: J built this chapel on his parents property when his sister got married.

To prove that they really are farmers, we had to pull out tractor!

Jamie and Mike – San Francisco Bay Area Maternity Photographer

One of the things that is still really hard for me is meeting new people. I still get SO nervous before a shoot with people I haven’t met before. Through our correspondence I could tell that Jamie was a sweetheart. She and Mike were great to work with and I can’t WAIT to see them again to do their newborn shoot in a few weeks.

Here are a few of my favourite shots from their shoot. They are big, big sports fans and have a sports themed nursery. I grew up with a baseball fanatic dad, so when they said they wanted to tie their nursery theme into their shoot I was really excited!

Alison, Brandyn and Andrew – Bay Area Family Photographer

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 01:34:00 +0000

I was kindly reminded by a friend today that I haven’t updated this blog for a while. I’ve been so busy lately, please forgive me!

A few weeks ago I got together with Alison and Brandyn to take some maternity shots. Here are a couple of my favourites.

Baby’s nursery theme is children’s books, so we thought it would be fun to use that these for a couple of maternity pictures. This one is my favourite.

This past Thursday I had the extreme pleasure of shooting Baby Andrew’s newborn session. He is a doll! What a handsome family in deed!

I promise I will not go so long between blog posts next time around. In fact, I have some pictures from a few of my other recent shoots all resized and ready to go. So expect a new blog post TOMORROW!

Zoe + Kailen – San Francisco Bay Area Maternity Photographer

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 02:33:00 +0000

On Sunday I met up with Zoe and her husband Kailen. We didn’t know where we were going to be shooting until literally the last minute. We knew we wanted to do something outdoors but were afraid of being rained out. We got lucky and only had a few light sprinkles. It was cold but Zoe was a trooper (Kailen was a trooper too, but he didn’t have his midsection exposed ). We weren’t sure about the red top at first, but i ended up looooving it.

Renee and J – San Francisco Bay Area Maternity Photography

Wed, 31 Dec 2008 09:50:00 +0000

I’ve had a long month of shoots behind me and not much time for blog updates. I don’t even know where to begin except for where I left off. This shoot seems like it was so long ago!

From the moment I decided to start my business and do maternity shoots, I had been wanting to do a shoot like this. My only wish is that we had had more sunlight. An early December shoot in San Francisco is not exactly the place for a sunny day. Luckily, as most pregnant women, Renee was running warm and so the cold did not bother her. Despite the lack of sun, I was very pleased with the outcome from the shoot. And she was as well!

Just another weekend in November

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 07:25:00 +0000

I spent my weekend photographing gorgeous women. Not that their husbands, children and families weren’t gorgeous as well, but all these women…wooooooo!!!! Beautiful, full of life, so much fun!

The weekend started with Camilla and her family. As with most shoots. My favourite pictures end up being the candid ones I snap when we’re waiting around. Like this one of Cameron and his grandpa.

Daddy, Cameron and Uncle Nelson showing off the Chuck Taylors!

The whole fam damily.

After an awesome shoot with Camilla and her clan, I headed out to meet up with Ariel. She is just a few weeks away from having her first little bundle! CUTE and synonyms thereof are the only way to describe this shoot! She’s so adorable!

Don’t mess with a pregnant lady and her ice cream!

This morning I met up with Melissa and her two guys. Objective? Christmas card portrait…Evan had a different mission in mind, EXPLORE! Still, I think we got some great shots.

My favourite. Again, candid and real

Phew! I’ve got a lot of post processing work to do this week

I still have a couple of spots open for mini sessions, so please contact me if you need an image for your holiday cards!

Until next time…

Maria and Emilio

My weekend started of fantastic with this maternity shoot for Maria and Emilio. We had a great time with lots of laughs. Their fur baby, Paws, even got in on the action! I can’t wait to meet their baby (boy? girl? we don’t know yet!) and see them as parents. Thank you guys for being such great subjects!

Monica and Steven

Monica and Steven are expecting their first little one in October. A girl named Payten. They have recently moved and are finishing up the remodel of their gorgeous home. Or rather I should say Steven is finishing it up What a handy guy!

Congrats M & S!
