This week has been chock-full of emotions for me. Call me sentimental, but between a newborn portrait session, celebrating my Grandpa’s 85th birthday, a few late night phone calls with friends, and then taking engagement pictures for a couple I had previously taken senior portraits for, I am a mountain of mush over here. Mostly […]

It’s here…graduation week is finally here!!! I am SO excited for all the graduates as they get to celebrate and commemorate this milestone in life…such an amazing achievement!!!

Immediately, I knew I was in good company! We chatted back and forth and she mentioned doing the session at the beach. Um…yes, please!!!     So […]

Every time I visit San Francisco, I fall more in love with this city! There is an amazing view from just about anywhere you might wander, and ALWAYS something new and exciting to discover around each corner. Still, no matter how many times I visit, the sight of the Golden Gate Bridge still stops me […]

Can you feel it? It’s just around the corner. With temperatures tipping into the 100’s yesterday, that can only mean one thing: GRADUATION is almost here!!! And summer too!!! I can hardly believe its almost June. Is it just me or do the days of May seem to be slipping away? Oh, I love this […]
