    Ξ May 30th, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Engagements |

    Well it’s been a very busy couple of weeks with several more engagement sessions, two weddings this past weekend and some more baby sessions! So for starters here’s one of the engagement sessions from last week…

    This gorgeous couple is Thera & Michael and they are going to be wed at Saints Peter & Paul Church in North Beach on Washington Square and then will have their reception at the Marine’s Memorial Club also here in San Francisco. We took their engagement portraits at Dominican University in San Rafael which is a lovely campus. Michael brought along his Harley which was a blast to photograph! These are my favorites from the day:

    Dawn & Kevin Engagement Portraits

    Ξ April 24th, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Engagements |

    Kevin & Dawn are getting married September 6, 2008. We went to the tulip gardens in Golden Gate Park and then to Ocean Beach for their engagement portraits. They were really great to work with! They were really relaxed in front of the camera and so obviously in love. These are my favorite images from our session.

    Marilyn & Gary Engagement Session

    Ξ April 11th, 2008 | → 2 Comments | ∇ Engagements, Portraits, Weddings |

    It’s that beautiful time of year again with the cherry blossoms in full bloom and love in the air! We’ve got engagement sessions almost every week and sometimes two, so you should see lots of updates in the blog. This is the latest engagement session which included stops at Golden Gate Park and then the Legion of Honor and finally China Beach. It was another gorgeous day and another stunning sunset. Enjoy!

    030-mp-e-art.jpg
    Marilyn and Gary started off a little bit shy (as does almost everyone) but they warmed up and started having fun very quickly.

    Here I’m trying out a new technique I learned recently using a video light which after color correction subsequently turns the background blue. I think it’s a really cool effect.

    152-mp-e-art.jpg
    This is one of my favorite photos of the day. It’s got a great sense of perspective with foreground, middle and background all lending to the beauty of the image.

    I don’t know quite what it is, but I always love the cross process look. Especially at the beach!

    I need a thesaurus… how many other words are there for beautiful/gorgeous/stunning sunsets?

    436-mp-e-art.jpg
    I really like this image too :)

    Aren’t they just so cute in love!

    Lissette & Jaime Engagement Session

    Ξ April 8th, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Engagements, Portraits |

    I had a wonderful engagement session last week with this beautiful couple and their son. These are my favorite images from the session. Please feel free to leave comments!

    0009_mp_e-art.jpg
    We started our session at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park.

    0095_mp_e-art.jpg
    There were many great spots for photos all around. I especially like the little blue flowers that were in bloom on the hillside.

    0103_mp_e-art.jpg
    I caught this moment as we were wrapping up the location. The light shining down the path was just gorgeous.

    0133_mp_e-art.jpg
    We found some terrific cherry blossom trees to take photographs under.

    0171_mp_e-art.jpg
    Their son was full of energy and great to work with.

    We ended up at China Beach for some great sunset photos.

    I really love this one of the three of them just watching the sunset.

    Did anyone else see the Sunset on Monday?

    Ξ March 13th, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Engagements |

    It was absolutely gorgeous on Monday. And as luck would have it I was photographing a lovely couple Sara & Marco for their engagement album! These are my favorite images from the session. Please feel free to leave comments!

    This was a really fun portrait taken near the ballpark. I’m trying a newish effect. I’m going for a vintage old photograph look.

    097-mp.jpg

    I think this is my favorite image of the day (not counting the sunset). This uses the cross process effect which I think gives it a beautiful dreamy quality.

    I just did some very minor enhancement on this one. They look so great together don’t they!

    244-mp-v1.jpg

    I absolutely love this one as well. There was quite a bit of natural selective focus from the lens and then I added a touch more on the left to really focus the attention on the couple.

    589-mp.jpg

    I didn’t do a thing to this image. Is that a beautiful sunset or what!!!

    Poor Marco got all wet and sandy so he threw his shirt away…
