The Nason Family

The Nason family asked me to do their shoot and suggested a location I've been wanting to use but haven't for one reason or another, so I was very excited about their shoot. I had my friend Hannah (yah, the one that's in my blog header) come along to tote my bag around and potentially move trash cans or anything else that might get in the way. ;) Yah, that was kind of an inside joke from that day...anyway...here's the pictures! 

They are such a gorgeous couple!

 

Baby and the Lopez Family

Anne and Frankie just had a baby girl and so I got to do my first newborn session with baby Mercy. :) She was fussy at first so we wrapped her up and walked around their neighborhood and got some family shots and then took her back inside and since she was sleeping at that point we were able to get some more shots of her. It was a very relaxed and low key session with some images I really love as the result.

Frankie is a hug Lakers fan so he pulled his hat out.

The Lapid Family

The Lapids were the first family that I've shot without little kids, and their son Eli is one of my little brother Adam's best friends. We went out to Mare Island and got some cool urban feeling shots.

The Schoonhoven Family

Over Thanksgiving break my family went to my Aunt's house to celebrate the holiday with them, and so I did their Christmas picture in their backyard. They have a gorgeous home on a large, nicely landscaped plot of land with a barn, so there were a few nice areas to take pics.

The David Family

Bessie asked me if to do her family's Christmas pictures, and of course I said yes. She knew that she wanted to do them out in Napa, but wasn't sure where. We ended up driving and the sun was setting as we ended up at the Opus One Winery. This winery has a really really cool grass covered pyramid type of structure surrounded by vineyards and the last rays of the setting sun just made it that much more perfect.
