Little A!

Remember this beautiful family?



I started photographing them before this little one was even born! Then, I had the profound pleasure of documenting Little S's first year of life: (make sure the sound on your computer is on to experience)

In late July, I photographed them as they prepared for the birth of their second daughter.



And, last month, I got to meet Little A for the first time!



Watching these cycles of life is such a profound experience for me.



Thanks, M and M, for opening your beautiful world to me.

Deirdre and Charlie Love Story Debut!

Remember this gorgeous couple?

I shot these engagement photos of Deirdre and Charlie in March. 

Yesterday, they got married! And, as part of their wedding, they showed this Love Story that I created with them:

I am so excited about this Love Story, the best one I have ever done.  I believe so deeply in the power of Love stories because, to me, there are two things that make a wedding exceptional: 1) a sense of community; 2) the feeling that the two people getting married makes the world a better place. 

Love Stories bring wedding guests together as witnesses of the couple's unique story of falling in love, and as a community deeply committed to their future 

With this one, I could not have had better subjects.  Deirdre and Charlie are so free-spririted, creative, authentic, and in love. This project has been a pleasure from start to finish. 

Congratulations Deirdre and Charlie. You have made the world a better place. 

Rachel and Michael's Rehearsal Dinner

Rachel and Michael had an absolutely gorgeous rehearsal dinner in Tiburon last month.

There was so much joy - and some tears - as they signed the ketubah, affirming their commitment to one another.

Rachel and her father

Rachel and Michael make such a wonderful couple, and both of their families were so full of pride and joy -  it was a true pleasure to witness.

I will be posting the full slideshow of the evening on Wednesday. If you were a guest at this amazing event, please ask Michael and Rachel for the website address.

Congratulations Rachel and Michael!
