The Ling Family

I really enjoy meeting new families and the Ling's were no exception. Very sweet people with a very sweet little girl who loves her tea parties. My objective is to get kids to smile without being TOO cheesy and for them to feel comfortable with me in a short period of time. Charlize was our host and she did great and warmed up to me very quickly. I was lucky to have had a really nice setting in the Ling's backyard flourishing with greenery and flowers. It made for really nice photos.

Chrobak Family Photos

I had the pleasure of meeting the Chrobak's for the first time and I loved their coordinating outfits. Not too matchy-matchy but complemented each other very well. It didn't take long for all of us to get comfortable and start taking some pictures outdoors on a beautiful sunny morning. Thank you again for the wonderful opportunity and letting me into your home.

Jasper Family Photos

The Jasper's are suchhhh a great family. They are very sweet, fun people that always have your back. I met this family back in 2005 when we joined a dragon boat team called DieselFish in Redwood City (I know I gotta plug it!) We met at the Rengstorff House in Mountain View which is thee place to go for photographers. Kaitlin was a ham from the get-go. She's 18 months and suchhh an easy kid to photograph. She sat, she smiled, she laughed. I couldn't have asked for a better subject! Thank you for letting me photograph you!

Cauliflower

Ok I'm sure some of you see the word cauliflower and grimace at the thought of eating it. It's something you eat because you have to. Well, I have this awesome recipe thanks to Jessica Seinfeld. I have a new found love for cauliflower.
