This is kind of last minute, but I am spreading the word about a possible trip to San Francisco in June. If you were on my interest list, I already sent you an email.

Hope I get to see you there,

San Francisco, November 2010.
This is the second time I have photographed this gorgeous family in the city. (Original session in Alamo Square here.) We met via our mutual friend Joan, who owns Timeless Treasures. A must stop on any visit to San Francisco.
When we first met there were only four of them! I was excited to meet their newest addition and see their home. Bravo to them for having such a large family in the middle of it all, and making it work so well.

This is the superfamily of superhero blogger/jewelry designer Andrea Scher.
I had followed her blog for years and on my last trip up to the bay, I made plans to photograph them. For some reason, she was on my mind and I was moved one night to offer them a session. They were expecting their second child, and I just felt like it was an important time to be photographed, and I wanted to be the one to do it. Lucky for me, she said yes. Andrea and her boys allowed me in and trusted me with their connections and love. All of them are very comfortable in front of a camera and it was so fulfilling for me to capture such honesty and free-ness of spirit.
We hung out at home for a bit, and then headed out to the park. A normal, daily routine that they now can remember forever. I feel like the perfect way to describe them and these photos is: AS IS. They came to me as is, and it was just what I needed.
If you’d like, you can read about Andrea’s thoughts here on her blog. You can also congratulate her on the recent arrival of Nico Boon!
