Photography??? ~ Bay Area Photographer
Wednesday, February 10, 2010
I often think back to what it was that really got me interested in Photography. Those of you that know me...know that this was not the direction I was heading. UCLA...Accounting....Economics...does not a photographer make! And although I always had the creative side of my brain working...I really have Justin to thank for pushing me forward and encouraging a talent that he believed in.
But thinking back in time...Photography was always a part of our lives. You see...it all started with this:
My Dad's Zenit...made in Russia, built like a Tank...all manual, over 30 years old and still in mint condition. I remember dad developing film in his makeshift darkroom (a bathroom)..I remember the prints drying...we still have albums and albums of black and white prints. Can't tell you how many times I've looked through them...and now Isaac is too.
So, here's a toast to Zenit, to my Dad and to my Husband...and to all the folks who tell stories with their lens!

Moments - Palo Alto Family Photographer
Friday, February 5, 2010
I think about that with Isaac and I was thinking the exact same thing with this beautiful family I had the pleasure of photographing the other day. You see, J and A and C are a beautiful little unit of 3. But in just a few months C will welcome a baby brother. And what J&A wanted were photos of the three of them....as they are NOW! Big changes are up ahead...but these photos will forever be a memory of what it was like when it was just the three.
A&J...enjoy your sneak peek! You were fabulous...and FUN :)
So here we go, let's start with the traditional side of things! (but don't let this fool you....they were all about laughing and having fun and playing...not posing!)
What a handsome little guy he is....19 months old and ALL boy...sports, balls, etc
They love to Laugh! (i love love love this photo....to me it captures the way they are together)
They love to Play!
And they love each other!
And of course I can't end this post without a few portraits of beautiful A..with her perfect belly :)
