Joe and Natassia's Engagement Session

Yesterday, I had the honor of photographing this beautiful couple.  They both serve in the United States Air Force.  Joe's from Maryland and Natassia's from Texas.  They met each other through the USAF and fell in love.  He went to her work and surprised her with a surprise proposal and she thought he was totally joking, but it didn't take too long for her to realize that he was completely serious.  You'll have to see the ring he got her.  WOW!

When I first met the newly engaged couple at Baker Beach, I could tell right away that Joe was a bit nervous, not knowing if he was going to be "good" at having his pictures taken.  I just set some guidelines for the shoot: be playful, have conversations with one another, kiss when you want to, and HAVE FUN!  I advised them that at first that it might feel funny or awkward, but as the shoot progresses that everyone will be more comfortable.  Enjoy these images of this beautiful, totally in love couple! 

Thank you Jennifer and Jonathan for the wonderful referral!

Referral for a Family Shoot

I love when a client becomes a client because of a referral.  I've been so grateful to all my family, friends and happy clients who have sent new client referrals to me, as it has really helped my business grow and flourish! 

This family was referred to me by my brother-in-law, Andy.  Andy is a builder/developer and Vivian is an architect.  They recently worked on a project together here in San Francisco.  When Andy learned that Vivian and her husband were looking for a family photographer, Andy told Vivian about me, gave her my website address and then, she emailed me. 

Vivian and I corresponded weeks in advance of the photo shoot, setting a tentative date, but the city had received a lot of rain the day we had planned.  So, we rescheduled and it turned out to be the day that Matt and I were to leave to go get married.  Thankfully, we were leaving on a red eye that night and a morning shoot was perfect!  I really wanted to make sure they had their photos done in time to send off their holiday cards to friends and family. 

We met at the Presidio, where I met her husband and their very cute boys, McCall and Anderson.  We took some shots there at the Presidio and then headed up to Golden Gate Park and went to Stow Lake where it was a bit warmer!  Here are some of my favorite shots from this shoot.  Thank you Andy for your kind referral and thank you Vivian for choosing me to be your family photographer!
