Charming Hostess!

OK, so first there were babies. And babies are good.

And then there was boudoir. And well, Boudoir, is boudoir is boudoir ;0

And now - the amazing musical ensemble Charming Hostess entrusted me with shooting images for their upcoming multi-national project at The Yerba Buena Gardens. It's called The Bowls Project---and it's an interactive sound installation that is opening July 8! You can find out more on their site: http://www.charminghostess.com/projects.html

I'm honored - I've been a fan for so long and wow, you guys are so talented! I'm just floored every time you sing. I honestly almost dropped my camera when you started singing this afternoon....

Little Sack of Sugar

...I could just eat him up! Mr. M set the bar sky-high with his super chill attitude! Honestly, newborns just aren't supposed to be this easy to shoot....what a trooper!
Congrats, my friend - he is just divine. I can't wait to get my lens on him again!

Oh, Spring!

One of my favorite days of the year is spring forward! The promise of longer days, the weather turning warmer, the end of all the rain (!!)....so what better way to try and capture that feeling than with an image! I think little Miss S on the swing pretty much sums it up for me.
Thanks for being so patient and wonderful, LW Family! I had a blast!

6 Days New

Man was I excited to meet this little cherub. I did mom's maternity session just days before she was born...and here we are, at day of life 6! Somehow, she seems like a much older baby - incredibly alert and looking at the camera as if to say "no autographs please!" I hasten to recall a more amazing head of hair on any newborn I've ever shot. Congratulations, S Family, on a beautiful little angel, it's been so fun to capture your journey for you.

Happy Birthday Sammy!

Wow. I've been following this little man since he was in his mama's tummy! Then I got to do his newborn session....and now, his first birthday. I didn't know it was possible to get cuter and cuter, but somehow Sammy does just that! I love his toothy grin, chubbawubba thighs and his "who, me?" expressions. Man, I just love this kid and his whole family. (and couldn't resist throwing in one pic of his beautiful big sister...). Lots of love to you, L family, and Mazel Tov on Sammy's first year. He's quite a kid!

bouncing baby....

....boy oh boy! 3 weeks old and so alert, calm, and sweet! This handsome little man has given me such baby pangs - I just love his intense gaze and his chubby little toes....surely he's taking after that gorgeous big brother of his! Thank you, K Family, for sharing your new bundle of joy with me - it was such a pleasure!

L'Esprit d'une Femme...

...is beautiful, mysterious, playful, sexy.
The boudoir session epitomizes the spirit and joy within...it is a gift to oneself, as well as to the one you LOVE! Want to see for yourself? My next boudoir marathon is March 20-21 at a beautiful hotel in San Francisco. There are only a few spots left so contact me asap if you want to be included!
