I had the privilege of hanging out and capturing the gorgeous family of Adel V. I first met Adel and her son three years ago at the Clickin Walk in SF! It was an absolute treat, that she asked me to photograph her family this year. I’m pretty sure I do not need to mention […]

Dear Ryan & Christopher, It’s the month of December and I find there is a daily balance of over indulgence for the holidays and reminding you both what Christmas is about. Decorating the tree, or the case for this year each of your little trees ( I mentioned the over indulgence already, right? ) Checking […]

This is a total over share of images for my blog. But it is my sister’s family, and my nephew turned one! We played at the pumpkin patch and enjoyed the prettiest skies I’ve seen at the beach in October. It was an afternoon of celebration, and the weather was giving us all a gift.

I have already admitted before my obsession with the beach. Many of you know about my crazy light obsession. Combine the two? I’m in a state of constant bliss. The unexpected tide, the thrill of chasing the waves, letting the ocean air wrap around you. This family was up for a fun day at the […]

Dear Ryan, The oldest, first born my “easy” baby and child. At seven years old you are becoming less and less my little boy. I’m going to admit that I hate that. You beg to be dropped off at soccer games while we park the car. Every morning you ask if you can please ride […]

I am so excited to post my first Letters to Our Sons! I’ve joined an amazingly talented group of ladies.  A blog circle of  photographers, who are all wonderful mommies to boys! Dear Christopher, Fall is in the air and you love to collect sticks and leaves. You ask me everyday if you can please […]

What can I say about this family? I love them! Long time friends who I captured while they walked around their downtown. I’m in love with the urban vibe, and the skateboards!

I very rarely shoot with a small aperture, so this past week I pushed myself to shoot f/9.5 or smaller. The skies were amazing on Friday and proved to be the perfect subject for a small aperture and a little bit of underexposure. Out of focus images are something that I find intriguing. I was […]

I’m in my first week of a new class at Clickin Moms, Exploring Creative Photography taught by April Nienhuis. It’s hard to break from what you’ve been taught about “correct” exposure. Pushing your ISO, selecting your aperture, over or underexposing an image. Different and challenging for me — always a good thing.  Here are some […]

Junes creativity exercise was to shoot all the little moments that make up our days. The good, the bad, the ugly. I decided to take the challenge and shoot the boys first official day of summer – no school! You can see more daily life images on Clickin Moms blog. I was thrilled to have […]

It was a beautiful afternoon when we all got together. We talked, laughed and took some pictures – it was perfect. I’m lucky enough to know these cool people, they only live a block away and the twins go to school with my oldest. I was honored that they asked me to capture their beautiful […]

I recently finished up a four week class, Fine Art and Visual Expression. This was the first run for FAVE taught by Elle Walker, at Clickin Moms. I had many questions about my own photography journey as the class began. What is fine art? Does it have to be still life? Is it possible to […]
