Saturday was so fun with Liz and Meme as I did an their engagement session all throughout the city and Napa! I think their lips must have been tired by the end from all that smooching around town! I can't wait to celebrate the big day with them next year in Maui ** ALOHA!

Yay for Portrait Parties!! Saturday was filled with giggles and playfulness with five families at the Marin Art and Garden Center. I had about half an hour to capture each family and we had so much fun. Contact JennaBeth if you are interested in booking your Summer Portrait Party, its a great activity for a BBQ, birthday party, or summer gathering.

Baby Leo

I was so excited to photograph Leo this past week, who was born on Wednesday, June 3rd to Bethany and Brent Sasaki at the only out of hospital birth center within 100 miles of Sacramento. He was born totally naturally at The Birth Center in the care of a midwife with absolutely no drugs! I don't know if that makes him stronger or Bethany...but he is a beautiful, healthy boy.

It was a great day in the Livermore Wine Country at Tenuta Vineyards where Amy and Eric were married! The day was filled with love, laughs and of course great wine. All the wine barrels around the winery were especially helpful for creating those amazing backdrops. And they did a processional out at the end of the evening with bubbles, how fun! Thanks Amy and Eric for allowing me to capture your magical day!

Kissing all around New York City!!

It is always so much fun to visit NYC especially when one of your best friends growing up is living there and can show you around. In between the sight seeing and eating of course we were able to sneak away for a quick Engagement shoot with Jennifer and Ward who are getting married in Berkeley next Fall. We started on Colombia's campus, then Central Park and topped it off on the Brooklyn Bridge. It was so fun to photograph them and capture their short time in NYC before they are off to other ventures. Thanks for letting me capture all the kissing in NYC guys!! You can see more photos from the session in this slideshow!

Introducing Layne!

I had a great time photographing Layne at her first photo session at 5 weeks old! She even gave us a few smiles inbetween the cat naps. It was fun to bring the studio into the Mitzenmacher's home and then also capture some with natural light in front of their SF Bay window. I can't wait to see Layne grow - she is going to be one adorable little girl!
Thanks Kate, Dan and Layne for a great session!

Lindsay and Thomas Wedding in Santa Barbara!

It was a gorgeous day in Santa Barbara at the Four Seasons Biltmore where Lindsay and Thomas said their vows on the ocean front veranda. There were so many nice touches to the wedding, its hard to decide which one to write about ~ in place of wedding favors for their guests they donated to Thomas' uncle's missionary in Africa, they had a dance with the married couple who has been together the longest and who could forget that they served ice-cream with pop rocks on them! What a great day! Thanks for letting me share your special day on the beach!
