Silvana Difranco » ||Wedding Photographer || San Francisco Bay Area

I had an opportunity to head out to the east bay today, Pleasant Hill to be exact. The hills were so lush and the bay was clear…  A perfect day to photograph this little wonder. This is the second time I used the 135mm lens and I just love the results. Marley seemed to love the camera but also had a fascination with sticks and sand. Go figure.

We just had to get out. Being stuck inside for much of the winter sure can grate the nerves. We’ve been suffering from seasonal depression from the constant rain, so we took off to the great outsidoors the first sign of sun. YAY!!!! It’s always so nice to see the vegetation gone wild after all the rain.

These boys don’t need to read any passages from “The Dangerous Book for Boys”. They live it. I took these shots between catching worms and chasing frogs. Their house and surroundings were unbelievable. How fortunate are they that they get to frolic in ponds with frogs, climb hills, get lost in forests and walk on mysterious paths. Free to be a boy.

It was so fun photographing this little guy. I love it when kids ham it up for me. It makes life a lot easier. I tried my hand at the 50mm lens and thought it was a pleasure to work with. The most impressive part of the shoot was capturing those jewels for eyes.

Here are some images from my most recent photo shoot. Julie came to me with an idea regarding showcasing her work for a book she would like to put together. She would model some of her creations outdoors and I would capture the moment. Julie is an amazing costume designer and the outfits she is donning is a testament to her abilities. Please visit her at her funky Tea House in Alameda.
