I'm so glad you found me! I'm a San Francisco photographer, and this blog charts my journey in the ever-evolving world of photography. One of the things I love about photography is that it's a journey, not a destination. I'm constantly learning and meeting wonderful people. Please peruse the blog to your heart's content, then check out my website and feel free to contact me! (I love hearing from you.)

Christmas/Hanukkah Session

So I never shared these with you in 2011 (too much going on at the time), but my mother and her boyfriend Bruce asked me for some pictures for their annual holiday card.

Of course, I was all too happy to oblige. Evan came along as my assistant, and I honestly don't know if I'd ever use him again. That boy has a lot of sass! And he always wanted to hold the reflector in the wrong place. (Just kidding. I'd use him again. He comes at a good price. :) )

We started things off inside the house, and then we moved them outdoors.


Don't they look so sweet together?


Then we brought out the holiday decorations, and all bets were off! I'm pretty sure that's a Christmas tree skirt on Bruce's head and then later around my mom's neck. But what can I say? It looked good.


Then we brought a menorah into the mix just so no one would feel left out.


After that, we got a shot of Bruce looking a little more serious, potentially as an author shot for the next version of his book when it gets published.


Thanks guys! It was a fun shoot. I'll put you on my calendar for next year!

  1. Wonderful portraits! Your Mom and boyfriend are great subjects. I love the one with the menorah... but all of them are Christmas-card worthy.
