miller family

i have known jon since we were little kids and it was such an honor to photograph his family.  we grew up together - elementary school, junior high and high school.  plus, our moms are still the best of friends.  i am so happy that he found the perfect partner.  tamar and jon have two beautiful children and it was so much fun to have a photo session together.  isn't it amazing how life works out?  here we are all grown up with our own children! life is good.

perez family

i am always so thrilled when a family comes back after a few years for photos.  seeing how the kids have grown up and changed is so much fun and the perez family so incredibly nice!

erica & kumar

erica and kumar had a very sweet wedding back in october.  their closest friends and family came together to celebrate and it was a gorgeous day in the bay area.  the setting was stunning, the food was delicious and erica and kumar have got to be two of the nicest people i have ever met.  seriously, i have the nicest couples for clients!

the ladies of the chateau group decked the space out with vibrant colors and you could just tell that everyone was thrilled to be a part of the festivities. my absolute favorite part of the wedding was the toasts and this wedding did not disappoint!  toasts are my opportunity to hear more about the bride and groom and i am always so intruiged by the stories!  erica and kumar's friends had such lovely things to say about both of them and it is apparent that they are meant to be together.  after the toasts we were treated to some singing.  kumar's friends made up a hilarious song about growing up with kumar while a very talented friend of erica's sang a lovely song for the couple.

here are a few of my favorite images from the day.  a big thank you to erica and kumar for sharing their special day with me.  thank you!

once wed

i am so absolutely thrilled to have some of my work featured on once wed.  if you have not been to this lovely blog, you must go and check it out.
here are a few more images from lindsey and dan's wedding.

chocolate

we had a fun halloween weekend although i ate too much candy!
the kids went through several costumes.  sam was a fireman, superman and a skeleton.  ryan wore this cute little dress from china, a tiger hat and a dog costume.  they would change their outfits for each outing and it is all a matter of comfort.  some kids love wearing costumes but my kids could care less about what they are wearing.
can someone please take the chocolate away from me?
