Bay Area Engagement Photography

Posted on by

I’m looking forward to photographing Amanda & Pedro’s wedding next year at the Mission San Jose with a reception at the lovely Ruby Hill.  For their engagement session I suggested Mills College, where we had a great time roaming around.  Nothing better than hanging out with your best friend on a beautiful summer day, right?!  And for me, it’s a dream job!

Amanda & Pedro: you two are such a charming couple, as everyone can clearly see!  Your sweet personalities really come through in these images.  Thanks for a great session!

Oakland Family Portraits: Mills College

Posted on by

I love watching families grow.  It’s one of my favorite things about my work.  I have been photographing this family since before the kids came along!  Now I find myself chasing these charming kids around the grounds at Mills College, and it seems like only yesterday they were in the studio as new babies!

These little ones change so fast, it’s a good thing we are capturing these images while we can.   The real thrill is having the relationship build over the years so that each session is like a chance to catch up with old friends….and see how much they’ve grown!

Pane di Casa Sicilian Pizza (Schiacciata!)

Posted on by

I had a great time photographing (and then eating) this amazing homemade schiacciata (a cousin to focaccia.) This traditional Sicilian pizza is a family specialty prepared with love by Rochelle Maze, a local event planner. This delicious rustic treat will soon be available to all of you, so stay tuned. I’ll update as soon as her new website is up and running…. featuring these images!
