So, as I pull the cobwebs off my blog, I post a session from a few weeks back. Usually I am updating everything on Facebook, but thought it would be appropriate to make a blog post for these clients. They were visiting San Francisco and we decided to meet at Baker Beach. I promised a sneak peek to them as I finish the final touches. Thank you for the fun time in the sand. Here’s some images in the battery area
I am always appreciative and happy when a previous client contacts me for a new session. A few years back I photographed their baby daughter and now they have a newborn son to add to the family. Baby K was a complete sweetheart.
Four generations of family. How wonderful it must feel to be a great-grandparent and see your grandchild having children!
Of course it wouldn’t be a blog post without adding sweet Ellie the Dalmatian into the spotlight! Thanks O Family, as always I loved photographing you all.
What can be better than a family of three which includes an adorable little girl and their loving Golden Retriever? It was a lovely day in Danville when I met up with these happy, fun-loving people. The Golden really really really really liked me…especially my leg. I forgave him because I know he can’t resist a dog lover like myself.
Good bye 2009! Don’t let the door hit you on the behind as you leave! I think 2010 is going to be a great year and a new start for many of us. I welcome the new decade with open arms. I have been quite busy since Thanksgiving and neglected my blogs. One of my favorite sessions in December was this adorable little baby boy from San Rafael. He has a classic name from literature that I love.
Every year I have the pleasure of photographing this mother and son and their little dog, Kita. We have tried many different locations but decided to stay local this year. The afternoon was perfect–we found the golden light and took advantage of the perfect time of day.
Once upon a time there was a family who looked like this. They were a family of three.
Shortly after this shoot the family welcomed a newborn son who had an adoring sister. They looked like this.
Today brother and sister look like this.
They all live happily ever after. The best part is that Mom and Dad still love to toss their babies in the air and have fun no matter what.
She was the most beautiful newborn baby.
Here she is today.
She is going to have a new brother in a few months. It was a pleasure seeing you again!
The awkward stage has set in on Karma’s body. She looks like a miniature dog with extra long legs and isn’t really looking like a teddy bear Golden. Training is coming along steadily but these past few weeks she has decided to run in the opposite direction when we work together. Stubborn little thing. One of my trainers told me to have more fun with her, she’s just a puppy.
Housebreaking a female puppy just seems to be more timely than housebreaking a male puppy from what I can remember. We are doing our crate training and things are moving along. Yesterday I was making lunch for D and Karma decided it would be cool to use the dining room carpet to relieve herself. I caught her in the act and scooted her outside as fast as I could but she still left me a puddle to clean up. So, my advice to all you puppy owners–just because you think they are fully housebroken, don’t believe it. You have to watch them carefully for many months. Praise them for the positive things they do.
The best thing about having a new puppy is how excited D is to play with her and watch her grow. He’s a dog lover for sure.
Karma is as tall as D. What happened to the pup I held in the palm of my hand?
Karma’s head isn’t the usual boxy head you find on many Goldens. Riley had a rounder head. Karma has a longer snout. Amazingly her nose is still black. She hasn’t had opportunity to dig with it yet.
So, at 5 months of age I have a miniature dog here. Spoiled more than any other puppy I have had so far. Has permission to sit on the couch and hang out with me on my bed while I type on the laptop.
I don’t think I will ever tire of photographing these two together.
This San Francisco family invited me to the city to capture them in their comfortable, beautiful home. Awesome people with 2 adorable young sons. Sneak peak for them. Thanks for having me!
Doesn’t little R look like he’s a wise old soul? At 4 months of age he is taking it all in.
After jumping up and down on mom and dad’s bed D paused for a quick rest.
I wanted to send a sneak peak to the parents of these darling siblings. I photographed H last year and baby sister C just arrived to make their family complete. Very pretty and extremely alert. She seemed to enjoy when I spoke to her and stared at me for long periods of time. I always have fun shooting on location in San Francisco! Congrats and thank you for having me in your home! Just one for now. More to come.
