So here are the pictures from my newborn session with Jacob yesterday! He has a super sweet spirit and slept through the entire session practically. Once we got the right temperature he was out like a light and easily moved into some of these cute poses. Can't wait to see his images from his 6 month session.

For those expecting mother's, just know that I have packages that include maternity, newborn, and six month sessions. An easy way to avoid missing some of those precious moments!

I've had the good fortune of knowing Jen and Josh for a few years now and when I heard they were expecting their first child I thought...REALLY?? JOSH?? But knowing them both and especially how motherly I knew Jen to be I was nothing but joyous for them both. We waited and waited until the right time we figured we could get the maternity session scheduled.

It just happened to be when everything green was now brown and skies were more cloudy than clear. All that said, it was an awesome afternoon of farm jumping without permission and getting these gorgeous images of Jen and her soon to be baby boy, Jake! 

You need to scroll down to the last image to see a sneak peak of the newborn session I did just today of baby Jake! He's adorable and I'm sure you'll agree he gets it from his mother! Sorry Josh!

I got the chance to visit San Francisco to photograph a very wonderful wedding this past October. Cathy and Ben have lived two amazing lives so far and joined their futures together 'officially' at the amazing Marine's Memorial Club and Hotel in Union Square. Ben has served our country in many roles with most of them including stories that can't be retold..'or else he'll have to kill us'! Joking of course.

It was a wonderful blend of sophistication, honor, and knee slapping good times! A beautiful ceremony was just the beginning of an evening that included amazing speeches, young and old birthday celebrations, and a visit by a few members of the United States Marine Band. And all I have to say about that is AWESOME!!!

Please enjoy a few of the images from my time with Ben and Cathy's families! Even think about making a comment if you have one....You just might be the first!

I've let way too many events pile up this year without sharing them here with you. So I'm taking advantage of this coming time off from the corporate job to finally give you an update on the last half of my 2010. Seems fitting since we are only a few days away from leaping into 2011! Ouch..I'm not getting any younger.

This update is from an August wedding at Chapel Dulcinea with Laura and Blake. These two are super cute together and although Blake is a man of few words, he's a ham in front of the lens. I loved this wedding for many reasons..their humor, amazing family, care-free attitudes, and commitment to loving those we've lost. It was a day full of joy that ended at Trattoria Lisina at the now Duchman Family Winery.

I hope Laura and Blake all the best with their future and hope them and their families are having a wonderful Christmas evening tonight!

Some of my dearest friends of all time are the Reagan's. I've known Jim through some amazing times in both our lives and now have the pleasure of being a part of capturing the history of their growing family. If you have followed this blog for the past year you would have seen this family's Christmas session from then. I recently did one with everyone and as you can see Abram is growing into quite a young man. These pictures are truly of people I call family. And I'm hoping you can see that there's not much difference between these and my other sessions. I'm trying to say that I shoot every family, bride, groom, and baby as if I'm taking pictures of family! I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. I love you Reagan's and Happy Holidays to everyone!
