Orange County's Leading Photographer
mommy, alexis.
i woke up the morning of this session and this idea was forming in my head.
and i love these two shots i got out of her.
and ive always loved the whole family in bed with the newborn shot. you spend so much time in bed with a new baby…
in new york, i had two families of six that i saw the same day, in the same neighborhood. of course i relate and click with these families easily-i feel like i am in the midst of my own five counterparts! the six unit family dynamic is very similar wherever you go. and its always fun for me to see how parents relate and react to their brood of four-its like looking in a mirror. it also gives me just that much more to go off of-the more people around, the more honest reactions for me to record.
mom and dad were so amazing with these kiddos. they were dragging four kids around downtown manhattan for two hours on a busy saturday. and they kept a smile on their faces the whole time. i was impressed, and left feeling like i had new friends in all six of them.
sf:
incredible, always. karissa and i tooled around both of our favorite spots. castro, haight st, golden gate park. we rode muni and took taxis. we were drawn to a drum circle and laid in the grass and the sun. i went to timeless treasures and once more dropped a couple hundred dollars on words for my home. when i get them and put them up, ill show you. i got to see my high school BFF jalayne and spend the day with her. we went to north beach for dinner and shared wine and laughter with her boyfriend and his roommate. my clients chose the coolest places for their sessions and i fell in love with all of them. the people and the places. thank you so much for having me out! i cant wait to come back up next year. i have many people on the SF waiting list, so i will for sure be coming once, maybe twice next year.

riding around to three sessions on saturday
birthday:
thank you for all the emails and stuff from yesterday. i am 31. crikey.
fires:
it was incredibly depressing to land into a layer of smoke on monday morning. its a very scary time for all of southern california. we are fine, safe. the air is horrible and the schools are keeping all the kids inside. mick and emily are in an area that isnt so safe unfortunately and so we are all keeping positive and hoping the winds change and the neighborhoods leading up the ocean are safe as can be. it has actually been like a fun little vacation with them here…emily and i have our computers set up back to back, the guys have been hanging out with the kids, and the kids, well, of course they are just running around as per usual.
other stuff:
just wanted to let everyone know-if you wanted to order the “just be” stamp set from cocoa daisy, tricia told me she has something like 80 that she has re-ordered. you can get them here if you want.
