Good morning! I have an amazing wedding to share with you all tomorrow but I'm a little behind in my blogging (and let's be honest, with work in general), so while I play catch up, please enjoy this sweet moment between Martin and his three year old daughter Lilian.
Vu Family Session
Adm and I had a fun little family portrait session last weekend at the beautiful Hakone Gardens in Saratoga. There were two moms, four daughters and a husband, and we had a great time photographing them all together. The session was prompted by the fact that one of the daughters, Michelle, is in the Army and heading to Afghanistan soon. We wish her well and hope she returns safe and sound.
Marlene, Rhonda and Max
I had the pleasure of photographing Rhonda with her mother Marlene and their sweet dog Max at their lovely home in Oakland about a month ago. Rhonda is the Director of Marketing at the San Francisco Design Center so naturally, her style (both for herself and her home) was sophisticated and beautiful. I always love photographing people in their personal spaces - most people are not used to having their photograph made so it can be a bit unnerving posing for the camera, and being in a space that is comfortable and familiar helps to put people at ease. Additionally, people's homes are so revealing about who they are which only adds to the sense of themselves that I strive to let shine through in the photos.
