Hribar Family: San Francisco Family Photographer

I first met the Hribar Family when the boys were about 6 months old... How much fun to see them again around their first birthday!!

Shooting little babies before they crawl is one thing... You can pick a background and place the kids on it, and you are pretty much in control. It's not like they are going anywhere...  But at this age its a whole other story.  They aren't old enough to still still and look at the camera, but they are old enough to move around on their own.  The best thing is just to do what they do, and have fun with it. If they are rolling around on the floor, I'm rolling around on the floor.  If they are running around, I'm running right after them, if they start to cry- someone better give me a hug and a cookie ;)

 With two dogs and twin one year old boys, this family has got their hands full of a lotta love in the most adorable form.. I tried to capture that in all its hectic glory with the whole family on the bed (dogs too, of course!)

Yippee!  We had a blast- maybe not all of us got to go up that high... but still, thanks for visiting with me Hribar Family.

Real Wedding: The Knot: Northern California Wedding Photography

So exciting to see my work in print :) I just received my copy of The Knot Northern California Winter 2011 featuring one of last years absolute favorite weddings, Kathryn and Mark at the Tavern At Lark Creek.  The mastermind behind this wedding was Kathryn of Dream a Little Dream Events and Melissa from A Simple Ceremony set the stage with her beautiful flowers.  To view more photos see the full blog post here.

Super Fun Napa Engagement Session

I drove up to Napa last week to hang out with Megan and Justin... and shoot some engagement photos... They will be getting married up there in November (we are very excited!!).  We had a rough and rainy week, but the weather in the afternoon was perfect.  Here are some of my favorites:
