Isn’t she a beautiful, radiant person? So many wonderful images I have been working on but I thought a sneak peek would please them. She came up all the way from Los Banos. I am flattered she chose me to photograph her. Great meeting you, A.

20 years ago today the earth shook pretty bad-Danville children photographer
Before I showcase a few from today’s session, I thought I would take a trip down memory lane to October 17, 1989. Where were you? Like many others, I Ieft work early that day from Alameda. I was going north on Highway 680 in San Ramon/Dublin on my way home from work to hurry up and catch the World Series game. It was the Battle of the Bay–the A’s versus the Giants–and the entire San Francisco Bay Area was watching this series with interest. At 5:04 p.m I felt my car start rocking while I was doing probably 65-70 mph on the freeway and thought “Must be time for a wheel alignment”. As I exited the Alcosta ramp, there was a car stopped smack in the middle and a man was walking around his car as if he had a flat. He was blocking the entire exit and I swerved around him, flipping him off for hogging the road. What the H-LL was he doing? I turned right onto Alcosta Blvd and saw the traffic street lightd bouncing up and down. OH!!!! We just had an earthquake. I barely felt it going that fast on the freeway, but folks all over California felt it. 15 seconds and lives were dramatically changed. The Bay Bridge had a section collapse. The Cypress Structure collapsed and flattened like a pancake in parts, trapping and fatally taking many lives. The Marina was on fire. Santa Cruz had stores collapse in the mall area downtown. I raced inside our condo, and found fish tank water had sloshed out onto the carpet, but the fish were okay and still in the tank. Our two cats that didn’t get along both slept on our bed close to us that night because they were so scared. That was twenty years ago. Where were you?
At 5:04 today I was finishing a tween and teen’s session with their Labrodoodle, Rusty. I didn’t even realize it was 5:04 today when others all around the Bay Area were probably observing their moment of silence.
Rusty, you lighten my reflective mood. October 17, 1989 was a day we will never forget in the Bay Area.
You Had Me At Meow-Cat Photographer
I have only 2 spots left for my Holiday Mini Sessions on Sunday October 25. These are studio style. Please call me at 925-556-1529 to secure your spot. This is a great opportunity–a chance to save substantially off the session fee.
You think photographing dogs are a challenge? Try photographing cats. Or should I say 4 month old kitten siblings that have ADD and wouldn’t give me the time of day until I did a few things to perk up their interest.
You can find the rest of these on my Woof Blog.
Holiday Mini Photo Sessions-San Francisco Bay Area Photographer
Time to think about the holidays. I hear you saying “In October?” Yes. Why? Because if you want your holiday cards, prints and gifts before my holiday cut off of November 10, you will be booking your sessions now. That is why Pam Biasotti Photography is offering holiday mini photo sessions at three dates and locations this month.
This is perfect for the family that wants holiday photos but doesn’t want to invest in a complete portrait session or is between scheduling a complete portrait session.
Why? Because the cost of the mini session is only $99.
Your 30 minute photo session includes 8-10 images on-line for viewing. You have the choice of two collections to purchase from this session.
You still will be able to purchase prints a la carte at a discount, gallery wrap canvases, storyboards and albums in addition to these packages if you desire. Included in the mini sessions are bonus items that you will be able to earn based on your purchases from this mini session.
