Laura and her kiddos

A few of my favorite pictures from one of my amazing repeat families! I so much love to watch the kids grow up :). I couldn’t believe how long and blonde little Kate’s hair had gotten. So amazing that they all have different hair color too!







Scott, Liz, and Will

I knew Liz when we were in high school in the bay area (she was a year ahead of me and at my rival school). I was super delighted to hear last year that she was expecting a baby and it was so great to finally meet her family! Their little boy is SO darling I could barely stand it. Despite the unexpected chilly/misty/windy weather that we often find in San Francisco in the summer he was perfect the whole time.


Aren’t they the cutest family?!? Liz and Scott’s first date was a double with his parents, lol.




A quick stop at Kara’s Cupcakes to warm up also proved to be a great place for pictures!









What do dads do best?? Play! We almost always gets some real fun smiles when dad goofs off.

Linnea and Mark engaged!

I got to go into San Francisco with Linnea and Mark (and their adorable 4-year-old twins) to do a few engagements for them! I love doing shoots in big cities because there’s SO much variety. I did several shoots this week in the city and they’re all different.

I was doing this first picture of Linnea and Mark when the twins just jumped into the picture, lol! They are so adorable!


Mark used to play for the Giants, how cool is that?! His name is on this plaque in McCovey Park, right outside of AT&T Park.








After pictures I got to go down on the field and take some pictures! It was so much fun. Congratulations! Thanks so much for the fun afternoon!

Toolson family

The day after Andrew & Carrie’s wedding I photographed the groom’s side of the family while they were all still together! They’re one of the most beautiful families I’ve ever known!














Keep an eye out in Pottery Barn kids for this one 🙂


After successfully ignoring and pushing away his sister this little guy suddenly lurched at her and threw that chubby little arm around her neck. Adorable.

More of my family

Ran across these today…from about forever ago. I suppose I forgot about them, but I loved some of these so much I wanted to share (plus it’s easy to blog when you suddenly come across several already edited pictures)!
