If we have ever met, one of the first things that you would probably found out about me is that I am a wedding and portrait photographer. The second thing that you probably figured out is that I am crazy about cross-fit. I have been a cross-fit junkie for about two years now and I am addicted. When we moved from Berkeley to Menlo Park I had to accept the fact that I would be leaving my old box in search of a new one. I settled on Mad Dawg School of Fitness in Redwood City, just off of highway 101. Now that I am all settled in, I am happy as a clam. It is funny though, whenever finding my niche in a new place there is always a bit of adjustment. I meet new faces and try to remember so many names, but it is difficult. Susan, one of the owners of Mad Dawg mentioned a photography project that she would like to do. I figured it would be an awesome way for me to meet everyone, so I was happy to oblige. Basically, I am doing portraits all of the members of the gym so that when new people come (like me) we will be able to quickly look through the images and remember names. I don't know if it is helping anyone else, but it is helping me in a HUGE way. As soon as someone gets in front of my camera I have a much easier time remembering their face. These are just a few of the awesome people that I workout with. I am looking forward to meeting everyone else!

It is hard to believe that the first wedding of the year has already come and gone, an it isn't even Valentines day yet! This was such a beautiful event though, a winter theme in the middle of San Francisco at the Omni Hotel. It was so much fun and the whole wedding party was awesome! I was shooting with the amazing Jay Kelly, we have such a great time together!

It was a chilly Berkeley afternoon when I met with Carrie and Scott on the UC Berkeley campus to capture a few images. We wondered about together and I got to have a little peek into their life. Carrie has been battling with lung cancer, these images where a way for them to commemorate her battle, to show her strength and their love for one another. I am happy to report that since taking these images Carrie has been given the official word, after all of her chemo and the horrible ordeal that her body has gone through, the cancer is gone. I couldn't be happier for her.

These images are a few of my favorites from their session.

Ruby and her Mama and Dad came down from San Francisco for an afternoon in the park. We wondered about and got lots of great images. She is such a sweet little bundle, I had so much fun with her, and that grin is enough to make me melt. So cute! Below are a few of my favorites from their session.

Way back in July I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful wedding with the amazing Julie Cheshire. I had so much fun shooting this wedding and getting to know such a sweet couple. Here are a few of my favorite details from the day.
