I’m playing catch-up today after being out of the studio for five days but I had to share a few images from our shoot with Dwell Magazine at DwellonDesign, Los Angeles, 2010. We were a part of the Modern Family Zone and photographed close to 200 kids and families. Enjoy a few of my favorites. Also a big thanks to Stephanie for helping to shoot the event with me!

If you were photographed this weekend, we should have a link to your gallery early next week. Stay tuned to the blog for more details. Thank you for participating!

what my weekend looked like…

I love my job. I had such an incredibly fun and busy weekend. Here’s what my weekend looked like; two sets of twins, a family that made the yummiest breakfast I’ve seen in a long time, and an extended family of ten! Hope you had a lovely weekend full of smiles as well.

Just catching up on a few things in the studio today and wanted to share a quick image from a recent shoot. I haven’t gotten permission yet to share the entire shoot so here’s one quick one for you. There’s a baby back there, I promise.

Hope you’re all enjoying the weekend. Here in California the weather is so incredibly gorgeous. I cannot wait for daylight savings time to begin…more hours in the day to shoot!

It’s been so busy over here with non-stop shooting, placing orders, and bookmaking. In fact I’m headed out the door in a few moments to do a family session. We are starting in Noe Valley and jumping on the train to the Ferry Building and Taylor’s Refresher…so very San Francisco and so very fun!

Nevertheless, I was downloading a few cards this morning and thought I’d share two images from yesterday’s shoot in San Francisco with little Sarah Louise. I was so smitten with little tiny pearls and her absolutely endearing personality. A quick thanks to her mom and dad for a fun morning! I promise to share a ton more shoots soon!

Just a few frames from Lucian’s third shoot this year (as part of his Year in the Life Session). We had great weather, a cooperative little one, and blue bottle coffee (my absolute favorite coffee). Thanks so much to Julie, Matt, and Lucian for another great shoot. Oh and to Ms. Eugenia for assisting (Lucian had a crush on her)!

Have you been to the Hayes Valley Blue Bottle? I can’t resist their New Orleans style iced coffee even if I’m already over my coffee-limit for the day.

Ok so maybe this is actually a Saturday morning in September but you get the idea. Last month I had the pleasure of spending a really lovely morning with the Lucas Family. You might remember that I photographed their wedding along the Russian River this summer. Dad, Alina, and I started bright and early, 7 am to be exact. We made our way to the Alemany Farmer’s Market in San Francisco. If you love food and live in SF you’ve been here. Alice Waters has been known to shop here. It’s an incredibly diverse market where you can buy fresh seafood, delicious breads and pastries, rare mushrooms, Asian vegetables I have no idea how to cook, all kinds of seasonal fruits and vegetables, and even live chickens. Yep, live chickens.

I was so impressed that many of the vendors knew Alina and her dad. This was undoubtedly a weekly trip for the two of them. After the market, we headed home to see mom and baby Fiona. We had a little tea featuring my absolute favorite ceramics company Heath Ceramics, ate more pastries, and spent some time in their contemporary art-filled home (which is actually an amazing renovated fire station). I was envious of their photography collection to say the least.

Thanks to Daniel, Svetlana, Alina, and Fiona for a lovely morning. Enjoy a few of my favorites. When’s the last time you took your kids to the Farmer’s Market?
