San Francisco Bay Area maternity, newborn, baby, child and family photographer
I will be out of the office from Sunday, March 7th through Thursday, March 11th while attending a professional convention. All routine business will be on hold during this time. If you need to reach me, please don’t hesitate to call. Thanks!
Jack Frost.
(Of Christmastime in Oregon. This babe was sick over Christmas. NO FAIR. But he was a good sport. And I Photoshopped out the chapped nose. )
Just a heads up to my clients who’ve purchased digital files from me. Mpix.com is having a 50% off sale on 8×10 prints from now until the 27th. Time to get some stuff on the walls! (hint, hint)
(I do not receive any sponsorship or commission. I just really believe they make great prints.)
I had a sweet session with Miss Gemma, her parents and her maternal grandparents this morning. It was a really close call too because this darn damn rain has been insane this season (so many rescheduled sessions, some re-re-reschedules even!). But we decided to go for it and I’m soooo glad we did. We got some beautiful images and really got to capture all the strong family bonds.
T family, thanks for the fun session! We talked so much about how the light would be in your place (and it was more than enough!) but I was reminded during our session just how important the *energy* in a house is. Your home has good energy and warmth in spades!
If I ever doubt whether I’m doing something that matters, I will remember this day.
Miss T took her first “official” roll in front of my camera. I caught her wide-eyed “what did I do?!” expression. The only thing missing is the goofy smiling faces of the adults in the room.
Miss T got some big hugs for her big roll.
Thanks for the fun and inspiring session, C family!
- Wonderful, flawless catch Annie! Just priceless!
- what a great moment to capture annie! she is a cutie!
Happy, happy Valentine’s Day from the Jack of Hearts! I’ve done this name play before and I think I’m going to make it a yearly tradition. What a fun way it’ll be for me to look back at the love of my live over the years.
These are from a recent session with Jack and his best bud “ada” (what he calls her). They got some new tats and then bounced around on my bed. There was some definite monkey business going on. But then kisses to end the play session.
- I love these, especially that last shot :) I can't believe how big Mr. Jack is getting!
She said my blog was getting boring (maybe not in those exact words) and that I needed to update. I told her it’s hard to know where to start when I’ve let it sit for so long.
So I’ll just start with Jack.
I’m a little behind on blogging, both with personal updates and professional. While I’m getting back into the full swing of things this week, it just seems trivial to give those updates right now. Instead, I’ll focus on what everyone in the world is thinking about: Haiti.
You all know I’m a big fan of the Boston Globe’s “The Big Picture”. They’ve put together a collection of some very moving photographs of this disaster. Photos that compel me to action. I wish I could use my 2 hands to help instead of just giving money but at least I can do that.
And in my own little life, I can give thanks for all the luck and blessings that have come my way. It’s easy to forget until something like this opens my eyes again, how very fortunate I’ve been.
Here are photos from the first day after the earthquake. Here are photos from 48 hours later.
To give:
- text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross relief for Haiti. It will ask you for confirmation, then will ask if you want to receive ongoing updates via text message.
- Yele
- Friends of the Children of Haiti
- thanks for the links. haunting images.
If there’s one thing you do this week, as a feeling person, a thinking person, a citizen of the world, a lover of images, let it be this. Look at these pictures. Plan to stop what you’re doing and lose yourself because this is not a photo essay that’s quick to consume.
The Boston Globe has a section of their website called “The Big Picture” which consists of collections of photos centered around news events, cultural issues and other themes. This project is “2009 in Photos”.
I can’t even put to words all that it stirred up in me. Mostly humility, about my own work, my life’s struggles, my many blessings, health and safety.
There are 3 parts.
Take them slowly. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Here’s one of my favorites:
- Wow Annie, these photos all take your breath away but I have to say I am still crying over image 39 on Part 1. Can not get it out of my head.
I first met this lovely lady at the Babes & Babies event and we had such a good time that Mom decided we should do a full family session in time for the holidays. And what fun we had the 2nd time! Sofia is such an easy going girl and a delight to photograph. Her parents are equally easy going and warm people. Win-win!
Miss Sofia got to wear a gorgeous tutu and she rocked it out.
- I love, love, love the beautiful color. What a precious little one!
