Adrienne & Jeff: Having Twins! - Livermore Maternity Session - Livermore, CA

In the next few weeks, Adrienne & Jeff will join the semi-exclusive club around here of couples I have photographed that will be parents of twins! They already know they are having a boy and a girl and they already have their names picked out(which is often the million dollar question on everybody's mind.) They even have the nursery all decorated just waiting for these two little bundles of joy to make their grand entrance. =)

Adrienne contacted me looking to do some maternity portraits but by the doctors orders she was supposed to be taking it easy so we were going to be doing the shoot at their home. The good news for them is they have an absolutely beautiful home which also literally backs up to a vineyard. Perfect.

Here are just a few of my favorite shots from our session together. Congratulations you guys and I hope to someday meet the little ones! Enjoy.

The Spates Family - A Sycamore Grove Park Family Session - Livermore, CA

I know it's probably bad to play favorites, but this was probably one of my favorite family sessions. These guys jumped out of the car and I could not help but smile. Makayla(6)looks up at me and smiles to reveal a big hole in her top row of teeth and Jaelynn(4)had a bright pink cast on her left hand which she tells me is from falling off the monkey bars. I thought she was going to be the shy one but it turns out not only is she not shy, but she is a tremendous ball of energy and a ham for the camera...they both were. =) One mention of Justin Bieber and these two would go into a posing frenzy! Cutest thing ever.

These two adorable little girls belong to loving parents Mike & Jennifer. Jennifer is actually an old friend from high school that I ran into a few months back and when she asked about doing their family pictures my head immediately filled up with ideas. We headed out last weekend on what was probably the nicest Sunday in November ever. We pretty much laughed, smiled, and goofed around for a few hours and these are some of my favorite images I managed to capture. You guys have such an awesome family and I really am so happy that you chose me as your photographer. I walked away from this session on a photo high because I really had so much fun with you guys..and I have been dying to share these images ever since. Enjoy!

Scott + Carolyn: Married! - Murrieta's Well Wedding Photographer - Livermore, CA

Scott & Carolyn got hitched back in August at the beautiful and private Murrieta's Well Winery in Livermore. I was hired to be the 2nd photographer for Tiffany (of Tiffany Green Photography) and these are some of my images captured throughout the day. The day started out with everybody getting ready at the beautiful Rose Hotel in downtown Pleasanton. Even though they were Tiffany's clients this was not my first time meeting Scott and Carolyn. I actually came out to help Tiffany with their engagement session in San Fransisco earlier this year. I definitely enjoyed meeting them and it was great to be there to help shoot their beautiful winery wedding. Below are some of my favorite clicks from the day. Enjoy~
