I think Wilder Ranch was at its peak today, the grasses were tall and green and I had two beautiful little girls to photograph there.

Julie and Derek are scientists working in the Monterey Bay on contract. They were in the Santa Cruz area only for a short time, but fell in love with the weather and all there is to see and do here. Not surprising coming from the midwest! They wanted to get some family photos done along […]

They’re simply adorable, and made it easy for me to get some great shots. This was a super quick session but we got a surprising number of keepers. Enjoy the pics below, […]

The all grown up Ray siblings got together in Saratoga to catch up on old times and visit with mom. They live in different parts of the country, so it had been over a decade since they’d all been in the same place, but you wouldn’t know it the way they playfully joked around and […]

It’s not too often I have a photo session with a grandma and grandson – maybe this is the very first one. But it really is a special treat to see the loving interaction between them, the way Thomas can make Joanne’s face alight with joy by handing her a flower – it’s truly precious. […]
