San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, Modern Baby, Kids & Family Photographer. Commercial & Editorial Kids Photographer.
Hello out there. What a busy month! I’m currently in Phoenix shooting for a totally awesome kids company, Boon, Inc (more about these guys soon). It’s amazingly hot here but I’m actually enjoying the weather compared to a chilly San Francisco. I’ve been working with such great team at Boon, hanging with a bunch of adorable little ones, and seeing some lovely, modern homes in Phoenix.
Aside from a few friends, I don’t follow many children’s portrait photographers. Most of my inspiration comes from the fine art world and oftentimes the editorial/advertising world (I’m a sucker for colorful, fun, and evocative images). I really admire Stephanie Rausser’s work (a few below). She’s a San Francisco/Sonoma based photographer who makes magical stuff....
If you’ve been to my studio you know it’s on the teeny-tiny side of the spectrum as far as studios go. It’s really just a haven away from my home (which is under construction – so to speak) as well as a place to meet with clients before and after my shoots. I rent from Activspace in the Mission District of San Francisco and I love it. Not only is the space perfect but it’s in one of my all-time fav SF neighborhoods. The spaces are rented out as raw (no paint, flooring, etc.) and over time people have added better finish (and sometimes worse). I love my space but the finish is not quite what I would normally want. I just lucked out and found a space just a few doors down that has a little better finish on the walls and trim. I’m a sucker for a really well done taping and plaster job.
Love the poufs. Wish I could knit something like that.
Hi Anabel! I love those poufs, too. Unfortunately they are uber expensive. CB2 has a more accessible version for $79 or so. Wish I could knit them as well. You would need a gigantic pair of knitting needles.
Sarah! Love love love the new layout ideas! Isn’t it so fun to decorate and create new spaces?! I love the rhino, and actually thought it was covered in rhinestones (no pun intended). Looking at the actual link, I still love it, but if it were me, I would stud it with a few rhinestones! 
All the best to you and enjoy decorating!
Thanks for the comment, Jessi! Now that you say it, it totally does look like rhinestones. Not a bad idea actually…could get a little tiresome tho!
Love your style as much as I love your amazing work! I’ve always coveted one of those poufs too….you can’t go wrong with DWR.
Thanks for the comment, Carlie. The feeling is mutual! I love dwr but usually hover and wait for the sample sales.
:]
I’m really loving this simple and straightforward ad campaign by WP Lavori in Corso for Woolrich. The photographers are Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, fine art photographers based in London. I read a short article about the shoot in the Dec 09 issue of pdn but you can see more imagery from the shoot here and I’ve included the behind the scenes video below.

thanks for stopping by our blog today and for leaving a comment;)
Your work is great, very clean and simple, love it. As to the shoot above, I’m with you, this is fantastic! Not self conscious at all, very much speaking to the brand of clothes the photographers were representing. I find inspiration mostly from shoots like this, clothing and lifestyle catalogs. Also from polaroid blogs;)
Happy Monday, everyone! I have newborns on my mind because I’m waiting on three of them to arrive this month…so very exciting. Therefore I thought I’d share a fun nursery room via one of my favorite design/kid/family blogs, Ohdeedoh. You can see the full post on this clever and well-designed room over on their blog here.
Enjoy + stay tuned for some recent shoots!
