I have studied and admired the work of Crave photography. I find her work to be stunning and am so excited to have finally saved up the money to take one of her mentoring classes this January. Apart from shooting, editing, mentoring, and designing templates for photographers, she also has amazing giveaways. I think this time she has topped, even herself with the choice of a Canon 85 mm 1.2 lens

I have been so behind on my blog posts but I had to share some photos from a kids vintage shoot I did a while back. I loved the concept and hope to do more themed shoots in the future. If you are looking for some great places to find vintage inspired clothing for your little rockababies I have listed a few sites I found. If you are interested in doing a similar shoot with your children give me a

Barbara is a VIP client of mine I have photographed her several times and every time I find myself blown away by her beauty, ambition, endurance, and joy. This shoot is for her portfolio at http://home.sfcasting.com/. She wanted some corporate/catalog looking stuff (most of her stuff is too hot for the average job)! We only did 3 outfits and one set up (the woman loves her black, but who doesn't)

I thought I would get everyone's creative juices going with some pics I found online of the location we will be doing our Bombshell Bash at.  These are some shots taken by other photographers at the Museum.  The cool diner, love the black and white tile.  Someone is getting on that horse!! See that plane coming out the roof? So cool. I am going to have fun

It's back!!!! This seasons event is going to be the biggest and most amazing, ever. The location, Reiff's gas station, which is a vintage museum has everything a girl could want in a backdrop from a real 50's style diner, gas station, and vintage cars. I will have accessories and some clothing options for those of you with a limited wardrobe. You will be able to see some of my available items

I have had the remarkable joy of capturing Bentley's life from the womb. He is now 6 months and couldn't be cuter. It is a challenge doing baby pictures. I always end up making some sort of fool out of myself in front of the moms. lol. I thought I would go over a few things for moms thinking of doing this type of session. Here are some pointers for making your session easy. Don't fuss over

The Stonerock's family portraits were taken on location in a natural light setting (my fave!). Sarah and I went to High School together, back then she was just as stunning, Harry is her first child and such a character! As a mom I get so much joy watching first time parents. After I took these photos I thought to myself, wow this family could be models for a clothing line. So I decided to post

 Angela and Peter found love on match.com. They connected over interests like camping, hunting, and being outdoors. Three years later Peter proposed on a beach in Carmel. Their rustic wedding took place at the Mounted Patrol in Woodside Ca.

I had the privilege recently to work with a client that embraces and appreciates the 40's and 50's as much as I do. She showed up to her shoot with a suitcase with so many adorable clothes that I had to shoot them all. I loved almost every single shot and it was hard to choose. I typically don't do hair and make up but, this time I did. Another hidden talent? lol.

There has been so much going on. Between being busy with many photo shoots, my little sister got married, and we had a death in the family. I do feel blessed to have been so busy though. I had a vintage car photo event, a Heels and wheels party (vintage inspired), a Pin up shoot, a wedding, and an engagement session Whew. I am posting my favorites below.

Hello all. I know it has been a while since I posted something. I have always been interested in editorial and fashion photography, so I, on occasion like to put together concept shoots that require an entire team of people. I hope to do a series of photos based in Wonderland. It has been done several times I know, however, my goal is to do it with a fresh perspective and creative take. I am

So I know that Junior and senior prom is approaching and so much work goes into looking your best. I wanted to offer some sort of package to my teenage clients that will document them looking their best! So I came up with two ideas. One is a paparazzi package in which I take portraits before your prom with you, your date and your friends. (up to 12 people) On top of that (dependent on school

With the economy in the condition that it is, I thought it was important to really look at my packaging and pricing structure. I want to make sure that my pricing is appropriate for my IDEAL clients. I also want to know what PREVENTS people from getting photos professionally taken and if there is anything I, as a photographer can do to make the process simpler. I have created a survey with 10

I recently decided to try a family portrait day for the Castro valley mothers club. I had never done something like this before but, I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to meet new families and for those who have procrastinated to get family portraits done. This is usually the case with most people. I am guilty also. I have to say it was a success. I got some great pictures and met

I am looking for inspirational quotes to go into a book that will benefit victims of domestic violence. Please, if it is a quote you got from a famous person list the author. If you also have any valuable resources, organizations, or stories to contribute that would be a big help. Thanks everyone.

This is Terilyn upbeat, stylish, and very photogenic. We had a blast as we tromped through mud, climbed in dirty old tubs, braved freezing weather and dodged traffic. These are me of my favorite shots. Who said being a model was all glamorous.

These are some studio shots I took of Travis, one of the models who came to my auditions. Although he was not selected I offered a discounted session to everyone who took the time to come out and audition. Here are some of my favorite shots.

Thank you to all the models that came to our auditions on Oct. 17th. Melonie and I appreciate all the support on this project. The guys were all great and we selected 3 wonderful guys to be featured in the shoot. The girls were m.i.a, where were you girls at? We had a very limited number of girls attend. Thankfully we found a beautiful girl who was perfect for the shoot and 2 back up models, but

Cherry Bazaar Photography and Amp'd up Creations are hosting a High Fashion Photo Shoot to benefit children with cleft lip. The decided theme is intricate candy make up and will take place most likely in San Francisco. We are looking for roughly four girls and two guys to be in the shoot. The photo's from the shoot will be put into a look book that will be sold online for charity. The book itself

When I was first introduced to Samantha to discuss the theme of her shoot. I thought I was going to have to work extra hard to bring her out of her shell, but, underneath her understated clothes and the hair in her face was a surprisingly confident 17 year old girl. We had a trial rub with hair and make-up and to select clothing. we decided her home would make a great setting for her photo

For all those people out there who recently caught my stunt on Family Feud I thought I might explain myself. Last year my family (mom Burnadette, sister Bridget, sister Kimberly, and brother Nicolas) and I appeared on Family Feud. We won 2 games and were on three episodes. The process of getting on the show was in depth. Almost 2 years ago we drove down to L.A. and auditioned. The did a mock

Missy is a 19 yr old from Vacaville. We had such an adventure taking these photo's. I really wanted to try out some new locations around the Bay Area, and she was up for anything. We started in a beautiful woodsy area in the Oakland Hills, however I struggled with avoiding blotches of light through the trees. I was really hoping for an overcast day day because, the redwoods fill with a wonderful

I am trying to find a balance though. I am looking for daycare for my youngest. I do not enjoy telling my child things like " I need you out my room" or " Leave mommy alone" all day.

A couple months ago I had a Boudoir event at the SFO Hyatt. For those who aren't familiar with french, boudoir means bedroom. This type of photography is more intimate. I rented a hotel room for a day and shot several sessions back to back at a discounted rate. This event was a blast. The girls all received a high resolution CD with a photographers release of all their photo's to do what they

Kelly and Tim's October 11th, 2008 simple ceremony took place at the modest Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Newark. Following the ceremony we took a short drive to Shinn Park a great location for portraits. The reception was held at the Spin A Yarn restaurant in Warm Springs. I had so much fun shooting these two. You could feel the love not only between the two of them but also the

This is Jaclyn, photographic by nature. We started the day at the local laundry mat for some funky creative shots then spent the rest of the day driving down a rural road and stopping whenever we saw something interesting to shoot in front of. Jaclyn is a photography student herself so posing was effortless for her, as her photo's plainly show. We had fun changing clothes, hopping fences, and

This was one of the coolest locations I have ever found to shoot. This place is called the Marin Headlands in Sausalito. There is so many different backdrops to utilize from the old military bunkers, to the beach, to the graffiti ed walls. Brandie was up for the adventure changing outfits in the car and standing barefoot in the cool wind but, I have to say the shots were well worth it.
