Maternity || Cynthia & Eduardo

No better way to celebrate daylight savings than with a long drive to a morning maternity session. That sounds like a complaint, but the overcast skies presented the perfect backdrop for these moody, cool toned family portraits. Can you say colors on point?

Graduation || Karla

One of my favorite Berkeley Law people moved away from the Bay last month. This part of the year is always really sad. But, besides leaving me with many great memories and friendship, she also left me with these adorable photos of her and her little family.

This was also my first morning grad session and I have to say, I might be a morning session convert because this lighting was glorious.

Grateful to have captured this special time for these special people and I’m ready to get the ball rolling on the rest of these grad photos!

Maternity || Karla & Kevin

Karla is also a friend of mine from law school. She started law school when I was in my second year and serving as Co-President of the La Raza Law Students Association. As soon as you start talking to Karla you can tell that she is a super star. Beyond her intelligence and compassion that is off-the charts, she is also one of the most driven and hard-working people I’ve ever met. When I first her husband, Kevin, it was obvious to me that they were a perfect match.

Karla got pregnant in the middle of her second year of law school and I could not wait to take her maternity photos. It got more complicated when COVID came to the Bay Area, but we made it work with an outdoor, socially-distanced photo session.

As non-native Californians, it was important to Karla and Kevin to have the Golden Gate Bridge in the background to celebrate their coming Bay-by. Marshall Beach was the perfect location with the vantage point of the bridge, lots of San Francisco seagulls flying around, and, of course, that stellar sunset.
