Haute Bride Photo shoot











If you have ever walked down Union St. in San Francisco you may have noticed a window with the most amazing dresses, wedding dresses to be exact. To be even more clear wedding dresses so gorgeous I could almost be willing to get married again (to the same guy) just to wear a dress as exquisite as I photographed today. Haute Bride is an amazing store to walk around and to see the beautiful jewelry they design and create on site. I am so excited to be working with Haute Bride and can't wait for our next shoot!

Gorgeous new maternity portrait album






What to do with the pictures after a pregnancy portrait session. I have done framed portraits for bedrooms, I have done small magazine styles albums, there are so many options for things to do for maternity portrait prints. Now something new. I have been having a blast designing this little album.

Lula Lu lingerie Product shots








Much to the envy of my male friends I do get paid to take pictures of gorgeous girls in lingerie. Not just any lingerie, but Lula Lu's lingerie. Lula Lu is a lingerie store for the B cup and below, many of you may have heard of the San Mateo store on Daily Candy. We were lucky enough to cast Jules Hartley  you may have seen her on SNL , Guiding Light,  and Law and Order SVU.

Haute Bride Photo shoot











Three gorgeous models. Amazing dresses from Haute Bride (1954 Union St. San Francisco 415. 923. 5900). Haute Bride is perfection, from the fantastic dresses, to accessories that make me want to get married again (to the same guy). The staff and manager could not be friendlier. This is the first stop a bride should make when looking for her dress! 
And for those of you who have been curious this is the new SF studio space I have been chattering about.

Little Miss Lucy Baby Portraits





I was so happy the other night seeing Little Miss Lucy again. Her parent's are taking her down to LA. for her baptism and needed a few shots of her in both of her baptismal dresses (one had been in the family for close to a century!) Since Lucy was being her charming self we decided to push out luck and try her in the petticoat and in a new little elf hat that came in. I am so happy that they decided on doing the one year plan so they always know they can come in to the studio and get priority in scheduling (even emergancy evening Sat. appointments!
