Baby Photography: Hanna’s 1st Birthday

Hanna’s first birthday is coming up and her parents wanted to string together photographs of her with clothespins and ribbons to use as an art piece for her birthday party.

How adorable does Hanna look in her outfits?

Cute pose! Hanna actually doesn’t like hats too much. I captured the photograph below as she reached up to pull off the hat.

Hanna loves bananas!

Yup, that’s Sophia on the right.

My little angel is as devious as she looks below.

Palace of Fine Arts: Jacqueline & Spencer Engagement

I had a dual purpose for traveling up north to San Francisco this past weekend. The first reason was to cover Serena & Parker’s wedding banquet at the Koi Palace on Saturday, and then to hold Spencer and Jacqueline’s engagement session at the Palace of Fine Arts and The Embarcadero on Sunday.  The weather was a mixed blessing. It was raining and cold, but the overcast clouds became a big soft box to filter the Sun rays down on the cute couple. Just admire the glow of light on their skin in the photographs below.

I almost missed this spot between the pillars. Jacqueline is back lit from light in the clearing behind her and subtle light is filtered  down from above and in front of her. I could not decide which perspective of Jackie I liked better so I included them both below.

The location on the right photograph below is in the alley/dock area of a building on Embarcadero. There were two gentlemen of questionable intent hanging out and rollin’ a fat dubie just to the left of where I was standing to photograph Spencer and Jackie. The fellas weren’t too much of a concern. They just sat there and watched as Spencer and Jackie balanced on the five inch deep ledge.

A crowd of people gathered and started snapping their cameras as we posed for the photographs below. As you can see, the wet masonry didn’t stop the two from posing for a good photograph.

Koi Palace: Serena & Parker’s banquet

I flew up to San Francisco this past weekend to celebrate and photograph Serena & Parker’s Wedding Banquet at the Koi Palace in Daly City. The newlyweds had such a blast at their first Reception at the Bridges Golf Club, that they decided to host another Chinese Banquet.  Click here to see their Wedding Celebration in Nov: Ceremony and Reception

Yummy! Check out the beautiful cupcake arrangement.

I’m not sure what got these newlyweds all giddy and “luvy-duvy”,  but I’m pleased to have captured this moment for them.

“Ice on Ice” is the result of my creative play during some downtime while everyone was eating.

The Red Cheese photo booth was a real big hit with the guests. The printed photographs coming out were better than most I’ve seen.

Here is the Groom’s long time friend having a bit of fun as the night ended.
