swing time

On the day of this family's scheduled shoot it rained, so we did indoor shots one day and outdoor shots another. Here are the pics from our outdoor mini session.

dad and daughter birthday party

A few pictures from a joint 40th and 1st birthday party in downtown palo alto last weekend.

My family went to see the Amgen Tour of California race today. The shots below are of Lance Armstrong (yellow helmet) as he flew by on a downhill portion of the road (woodside rd and skyline blvd).

First born

Photographed this little guy on valentine's day. Very alert and aware at only 2 weeks old.

happy baby and brother

Here are some images from a shoot this weekend. The weather was horrible so we went indoors for this shoot. This baby was all smiles today.

Site change from green to white

my site has been live since september 08 and is definitely still a work in progress. I wanted a green site to make it fun and lively and then realized that it made my photos look bluish when images were beside the green.

So, today i changed the site to white. hope you like the change and lmk if you have any suggestions for ways to improve it.

Another newborn in the new year

Family/ newborn photo shoot in burlingame. This special baby has such patient bigger siblings that were so easy to photograph.

New year, newborns

The first few weeks of 2009 have brought some new babies. Here are images from a shoot earlier this week. I just love the shirt mom chose.

Engagement portraits

I love taking pictures of couples but with young kids at home, i don't have the time to be a wedding photographer.

If you have a wedding photographer but he/she can't shoot engagement portraits for you (due to distance, for example) I would love to be your engagement photographer.

Engagement sessions last 1 hour, and can include several outfits and locations. For $200 you will receive the digital files as well as an 8x10 print from the session.

Thank you for a great 2008!

This was my first year of business and it was great. I was very busy (thank you clients!!!) and I have learned some great tips for next year. Since I am still new at this business, feel free to give me tips, advice or your wish list as to what you would love to see from a professional photographer.

I am working on a slide show to showcase my best photos of 2008. stay tuned.
