Sessions will be held in my new, larger studio! The studio is now located at 480 Gate Five Road, Studio 345A, Sausalito, CA.
Park on the east side of the building and take the elevator to the 3rd floor.

My kids

Finally, I have a chance to put up a few shots of my own kids. I used a few of these in this year’s family holiday card. My daughter is becoming quite the little poser. I have been eyeing this spot for a year or so and finally got to try it out. Definitely going in the bag of tricks for the future.

Photo class filling up!

Want to learn how to take great pictures of your kids? Do you have the camera, but don’t know how to use it? Do you occasionally get good shots, but don’t know how you got them? Do you want to learn about light and how to see it?
The class covers your equipment, namely your camera, and getting familiar with it, lighting and composition, and finally, working with kids, even your own kids, and capturing them with your camera. The class is being offered through the Sausalito Parks and Recreation Department and will be held in my new studio at 480 Gate Five Road, Suite 345a, in Sausalito. For more information, go to http://sausalito.recware.com (on page 7 of the class list) or call 415-289-4152. The class will meet three times for 1 1/2 hours each class. The first class meets Monday evening, January 23rd.

The Irish

Here are some shots of my cousins from Ireland. they finally made it over and have had a rough trip so far. Lots of sickness-cold and flu-coupled with jet lag. Not to mention that they have a 4 month old and a 2 year old. Who said vacations were relaxing?

They are all starting to get acclimated and we finally had a chance to take a few pics. Wish they were closer!

Sweet baby L. Only 10 days old. He was so good for me. Sleepy, just like I like them at this age. Looking forward to watching this guy grow up. Congrats proud parents! He’s simply gorgeous!!

Cindy Lou Who

This sweet little soul has been my son’s playmate for the past couple of years. She is the younger sibling of one of the Little Monkeys and will be moving too. I’ll miss that smile. It lights up a room!! Even with chocolate cake on her face. Somehow, she gets away with it.

Little Monkeys Reunion

These girls have been together since they were 7 months old. They are now big kindergarteners. Sadly, two have to move away. We will miss you monkeys and wait for your return. Best friends forever…..

Sneak Peak Muir Beach

Couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Daddy and the kids came and we stayed after the shoot and had a bonfire. It was lovely. S’mores and all. This family is so adorable. They had fun playing on the beach. Always love a good reflection. Its as if you are getting a secret look at an otherwise normal situation. The hill behind them was gorgeous and all lit up. Almost blinding that evening.

Sneak Peak Baby B

This was a mini shoot, but everything went well. He was a champ. I can’t get over this first shot. A sweet little smile at 6 weeks. So cute!

Love this little guy! We had so much fun eating and playing with cake. Made by Krumbs Cakes in San Rafael. Amazingly delicious and beautiful too!
