♥ ♥ I can not express enough now much I love what I do. ♥ ♥

Yesterday I met up with the most amazing family for brother and sister high school senior sessions. We headed down to the Marin Headland bunkers and had an incredible time. The setting was perfect setting and I had complete artistic freedom. This session rocked!!! I came home so excited that I just had to get a few photos up for a preview before going to bed. I am so looking forward to meeting with the family tomorrow for their session preview.

Here are a couple of my favs from our session.

I know its a tad late but I am finally getting a chance to update this blog with photos from one of my favorite girls to photograph. I’m sure you all recognize miss Trianna as she is frequently in front of my camera.

This year for her back-to-school photos we headed down to Railroad Square in Santa Rosa which happens to be one of my favorite urban settings to shoot. Her mom went all out and bought this most adorable outfit which IMHO is just so her ♥

In the parking lot in front of the visitor center there was this really neat bug so we asked the guy if we could borrow it for Trianna’s session. Luckily the guy was super nice and didn’t mind at all. I absolutely love this photo.

I just can’t get over how big my babies are getting. I swear kids just grow up way too fast!!! I’m finally getting a chance to share a few photos from a session I did last month down at Railroad Square in Santa Rosa with my own girls. This is something I look forward to doing around their birthdays which lucky for me allows for sessions 3 times a year and its so neat seeing how much they have changed from the year before. Considering I am photographer you would think my walls are filled with recent photos of my own girls but sadly photos get taken and never printed. This year however I couldn’t resist and finally I have updated/recent photos hanging on my walls.

My oldest started Jr High/Middle school this year. Already I can see she is loosing that little girl look and is becoming a teenager.

*sniff sniff* She is looking so grown up

I just love this shot of my youngest. Its a face she makes all the time but this was the first time I have been lucky enough to capture it.
I can’t help but to smile every time I see this.

Last week I met up with two adorable little sisters for their first session together. We ended up having to break up their session into two different days which turned out to be incredible and well worth it.

Our first session was at my favorite spots in downtown Petaluma. On our first day little miss M did so great and was ready for the camera. Her little sister on the other hand decided she would rather play for follow grandma around everywhere. I had so much fun with these two precious little cuties.

Here are a few favorites from our first session together.

After an hour both little girls had enough and were done for the day so mom and I decided it would be best to get together in a couple days for another session. That is coming up next and wow what a great location!

Finally I am catching up on the last few sessions of 2009. Mid Dec I met up with my friend Z just a couple weeks before she gave birth to her two precious baby girls. She was up for just about anything so we got a chance to explore several new places in Santa Rosa which makes for a bit of a preview blog overload. Luckily it wasn’t raining and the lighting was fantastic :) I think I might start loving overcast skies.

I just gotta start with my absolute favorite. How cute is she? I couldn’t help but to notice and make use of the little sign next to the tracks.

For our session we started next to one of the mural fences here in Santa Rosa. I have been wanting to come down and use these for sometime now and I was so please that her choice of clothing for her session seemed to match so perfectly.

I love these. For the next set we made our way down to a private vacant lot near by. I had no idea this wooded area was here and luckily we were able to take advantage of the natural beauty before the “No Trespassing” signs were posted. It was such a perfect location for her too.

Now keep in mind this session was back in mid Dec in between our many bouts of rain. Z was a trooper though and was even willing to bare it all in the cold for her photos.

At the end of our session the babies decided to finally wake up. It was so cute to watch Z play with the babies as the wiggled around.

Z thanks for the fun afternoon and exploring with me.

Finally got a chance to have a senior portrait session over at Railroad Square in Santa Rosa. I love the urban funkiness of that area with all the brick and stone work of the old buildings. So much character and I’m always finding neat little areas every time I go down there. I had a wonderful afternoon with Shona and her mom as we hopped around RRSq. These cloudy/rainy days can be somewhat unpredictable this time of year but we got lucky despite being a tab bit cold.

Its been a crazy busy holiday season. Now that I have a little down time I can finally catch up on all the wonderful sessions I have had these last few months. I had a chance to visit one of my favorite locations down in Petaluma with the N family which was perfect for this family

I absolutely love working with this little girl. I can take her to any location and be guaranteed amazing photos. With no effort at all she can make something so simple into a wonderful yet dramatic photo. Oh how I wish photographing my own girls was this easy.

For our most recent session we headed over to an old favorite with a new twist. I have photographed several sessions over in Rail Road Square in Santa Rosa but this time I am loving the set I got with Trianna.

Another preview from my recent set of mini sessions around historic Petaluma. This gorgeous little girl happens to be friends with the two adorable brothers I posted yesterday. She was such a doll and lovely to photograph. So many of her expressions and poses were just things that came naturally without any direction from me.

I fell in love with this last photo the moment I saw it after I took it.  Thank you so much for coming down and it was an absolute pleasure to meet you.
