Wow! The colors, the food, the people, the couple. We were totally immersed in it. It was such a good time! I think I’ve written before that it is such an amazing experience if all parties involved are completely into it. Setting up scenarios and exploring this cultural mecca was worth the chill. Enjoy!
Those persimmons look familiar…
To San Francisco with love.
We’ll see these two in January when they tie the knot at the Clift Hotel!
Full of love! And lots of energy. Thankful for the opportunity to experience both. Happy Holidays!
Princess for the day!
Gosh. It was just yesterday when my now 4 year old was a little peanut. So small and new! All of those sweet memories came back when I got the chance to capture this family’s new addition. Sweet little one…
Beautiful crisp weather, Mount Tam as the backdrop, smiling children. All ingredients for a perfect family stroll.
A while back, I had the opportunity to work with Nicole Lenzen as well as other super talented women and during that shoot I realized what a joy and pain it was to work with film and lighting. I say this only because she e-mailed me the other day looking for the outtakes and it got me reminiscing about the pre-digital age when you had to actually set up and think about a shot in order to conserve on resources and time. Looking back on these photos today brings me twinge of nostalgia worth Blogging about. I miss shooting 35mm black and white. I think I might have to pick it back up again. CaChing, CaChing…there goes the bank account.
Nicole as since moved to New York. Please visit her at The Lady in Green for “reflections on bridal, fashion, and design”.
This session couldn’t have gone any better. There must have been a wedding that was held the day before, because there were rose petals and hydrangea bouquets sprinkled all along the grounds. We took full advantage and played around as much as we could. Even Mom and Dad took part in petal throwing. Fun day, fun family. Happy Wednesday!
Simple, elegant, delicious, and fun. What more can you ask for?

(outstanding!)
I went for a walk yesterday with my one and only and it finally felt like Fall was settling in. There is a local organic Farm at the end of our street (so lucky), and what we found on the way was pure joy. Neighbors with too many Persimmons and Pomegranates, where giving them away in boxes. I’ve included a super simple recipe for all you Persimmon lovers. If you’ve never tried one, PLEASE do. Heaven!
Divide prosciutto slices among 8 plates. Arrange persimmon slices decoratively atop prosciutto. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and chill.) Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, and serve.

Love the tones and mood of this photo shoot. Erin is a beautiful soon to be Mom and it was a great pleasure capturing her in her essence. I’ll be photographing her Baby Shower this Sunday with anticipation. Happy Wednesday!
