Family Portraits- Mountain House, CA

Hooray for the rain and a breeze to come in and clear out the smoke.  I was scheduled to take family photos a couple weeks ago but due to the smoke we had to reschedule until this weekend.  This Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day with these fantastic trees with yellow leaves.  These family photos are perfect fall photos.  I just love their outfits.  💓  I love the photo of their kids looking at me while their parents are sitting on the bench.  I cannot get enough of the photo of just the parents sitting on the bench by themselves; those trees are a glowing background.
ENJOY!

Art Photos- House of Doodle: Stockton, CA

"You are the company you keep" and "Your friends are a reflection of you".  We all have maybe heard either of these sayings at one point in our lives.  Well, I am hoping that is true, since one of my dear friends is an amazing artist.  

Alexis Villanueva of House of Doodle, isn't just a fantastic sequential artist she is a painter as well. (as well as a friend, auntie (below is a photo with her and my youngest son), etc) This weekend I visited her art studio to take some photos of her work.

Can't believe it has already been a year since I had taken photos of their 3rd baby.  Always love taking photos at University of the Pacific, UOP.  LOVE the little girls dresses.  😍

Jessica- High School Portraits: San Francisco, CA

So excited to share these photos.  I actually couldn't decide what to share since there were soo many that I just truly loved.  😊
Jessica do not stop perusing college, but I think you can do some modeling on the side.  😉
Couldn't have asked for a better day September day in San Francisco, except for the wind....  it is like it knows we are about to shoot and then it picks up and decides to give a glam windblown look we were not looking for.   Lucked out on some wonderful stairs, what a wonderful find when you are not looking for it.

Wedding Rehearsal Lunch @ Campo di Bocce- Livermore, CA

My brother in law had their wedding rehearsal lunch at Campo de Bocce- Livermore, CA.  Great food and loads of fun.  Before starting a friendly game I took a quick moment to capture a few shots of the brides ring.

LinkedIn Headshots- Tracy, CA

"First impression is everything", so they say.  We take the time to carefully select the right outfit for that interview or meeting.  So why wouldn't we want to carefully select the right photo of us that we are showing to those in our currently/future professional network.

Here are some photos that were taken this weekend.

Family Portrait- Half Moon Bay

One of my favorite things about living in California is when we have fantastic weather that will allow us to enjoy a beautiful sunny day at the beach.  I do live in Northern California so the water is colder than the southern half, but it is still wonderful to sit on the sand and let the sun warm your soul.  With that said, I had a wonderful time taking family photos this weekend in Half Moon Bay, CA.  Here is a little sneak peek from this weekend.  😁🌞
