Rebuilding Together San Francisco

Rebuilding Together San Francisco is a wonderful organization that repairs the homes of residents in need as well as the facilities of community organizations. I have participated in their National Rebuilding Day for a few years and have enjoyed the opportunity to give back to the community. I donated a portrait session to their silent auction held last fall at their annual gala. This sweet family had the winning bid.

These two are the sweetest pair of siblings. Older sis is enjoying her freshman year at college and little brother is itching to get a drivers license. They have a special bond and were kindly teasing one another during the session. They have not had their pictures taken since they were in grade school. Their grandmother has been requesting pictures so we thankfully were able to squeeze one in while older sis was home from college. Thank you to this family for giving back to your community and for letting me spend a rainy fun filled afternoon with you!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! 2009 proved to be a wonderful year for my business. Last year I decided to leave the oh so thrilling world of accounting (heavy heavy sarcasm) for the full time pursuit of my dream to become a professional photographer. It is without a doubt the best career decision I have ever made. It has been a lot of work and a year of tremendous growth and I have enjoyed every step of this new found journey. Plus my inner accounting nerd still gets a little loving as I get to play with my books and have a few excuses to bust out my excel skills.

I am thankful for the many families that have trusted me with their photographs. I have amazing clients who happen to have the most presh families on the planet. Seriously. I am especially grateful to my own family who has been so supportive and who are always a source of encouragement.

I am looking forward to an even better 2010. I have an enormous desire to learn and to keep stepping up my game. I am thrilled to be attending a few industry conventions as well as a few workshops put on by the best of the best in the industry. I have so many goals for this year and my dreams are just getting bigger as I see what potential there is out there. I could not be more excited for what is to come.

Toddler Photo Session

This little man is in love with his trains. He has a darling train table and was so happy to show me all of his trains moving along the track. I was so glad we were able to sneak in a last minute session before the holiday madness began.
