Happy Caturday!

Wait! That's not a cat! Tricked you. Cat-sized, though, so please forgive me.

Okay, now that's a cat. Heart rate is returning to normal.

And may I say, I just love cats with this kind of coloring and blue eyes? They photograph beautifully every single time.

This lady was a cutie, and possibly in need of a little kitty weight watchers.

Love the white boots on the back paws!

This dude had white boots on too. It think it was trending that day at the shelter.

Naz and Mash - Palace of Fine Arts Anytime Session

Naz and Mash contacted me for an anniversary photo session when they were traveling in San Francisco, and it wasn't until I met them in person that I found out they're from Bangladesh, which was so exciting! Of course I daily dream of being the kind of photographer who jets around the world and photographs interesting people in exotic locales, but it's more of a pipe dream than anything else, so I was thrilled to have international clients, at the very least.

And such great ones too. Naz was several months pregnant, but she was up for any and all suggestions. Plus she had the greatest outfit - I love that color!

I just love this one.

And this one too. This bench had the prettiest light.

Then we walked over from the Palace of Fine Arts to the bay and took some of the requisite shots in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. Usually I don't love the look of strong sunlight, but I think these turned out great!

Thanks so much Naz and Mash - let me know the next time you're traveling through SF - I'd love to photograph the little one when he arrives!

Some Cats and Kittens for Caturday

I just loved this petite little looker; I'm sure she got adopted quickly. Such pretty coloring!

And of course who wouldn't fall for these fluffballs?

Film Friday - Maria

Maria and I met up on a gorgeously sunny afternoon at the top of Strawberry Hill in Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park. We had two rolls of film, and a mission: to get some lovely portraits of her.

Maria, you're stunning.

I just love the character of Fuji's Acros 100 - hands down, it's my current favorite black and white film, so crisp and fine and clean, and with just gorgeous tones.

Then we switched to color, and made use of the flowering plum trees.

The light was fading fast, so this last shot isn't quite in focus as I'd like it to be (one argument for shooting digital, definitely!), but I just love the feeling of it.

Thanks Maria!
