San Francisco Family Portrait – Sewell Family

This was an absolutely beautiful portrait session with a wonderful San Francisco family.  Best part was that it was along a path in the Presidio that I had never seen eventhough I have driven by it literally thousands of time.  I met the Sewell Family just inside the Presidio Gate with the intention of photographing them along Lover’s Lane.  We talked a bit and they asked me if I had seen “Wood Line” – one of the environment structures done by Andy Goldsworthy in the Presidio.  I had heard of it but had never seen it.  Woodline is a log snake meanders along a path nestled in the tall Eucalyptus and is a perfect place  place for children to play.  Plus the way the light falls through the tall trees gives the place a magical feeling.  It would make an ideal place for anyone needing to get away from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco or something a little more romantic like a walk with a special person or maybe a place to get engaged.  I’ve seen lots of amazing places in San Francisco while doing family photographs  but I have to say that this was one of the most special.  It’s just a great place and definitely worth a visit.

The Sewell Family are great with three beautiful and rambunctious children.  After a few family photographs, they started asking “Can we run?  Can we play?”  The amazing trees, the great San Francisco light, and the Sewell’s wonderful energy made for a great family session.

Here are a few samples.  Please vote on your favorite as I give away an extra print for the most popular.

Boggess Family Portraits in the Presidio

So this was a good example of how good things come to those who wait. Meg and I had been trying to schedule a date since February. Inclement weather, illness and accidents kept getting in the way. We even ran into each other at a friend’s party before we cold set up a time. But we just kept scheduling and rescheduling and I’m glad we did because the session was a blast. Their daughter Adel was great – full of energy and a joy to photograph. We explored the area around their Presidio home and Adele showed me how she plays on the logs with her mom and dad. All in all we had a great time and I think that shows in these family photographs.

Thanks Meg, Chris and Adele – really enjoyed meeting you and I really hope our next meeting doesn’t take so long to set up.

Marsh Family Portraits in the Presidio

I met Tamara, Phil an their little boy Maddox at their Presidio home for a family portrait session. With another cloudy San Francisco afternoon, the adults were all a little bummed and worried about the outcome. Fortunately, babies don’t let the little things like fog or sunshine get in their way of having a good time. Maddox smiled the entire time and set the perfect mood for family photographs.  Love seeing a happy baby that is content chewing on toys and clapping along with mom and dad.

Thanks Tamara and Phil for inviting me into your home and best wishes.

Jacobson Family Session

Twice this week, I worked with very good friends.  This time it was the Jacobson Family – Catherine and Aaron and their children Chloe and Ben.  Such a good time.  Chloe always keeps me on my toes – when I asked her if she could show me  places around their San Francisco home to photograph she quickly replied – “Sorry, I’m too busy.”  Good news is that when I asked her to shake her head like a movie star, she didn’t miss a beat.  And Ben is just a big bundle of love.  So happy – even if he was a little tired.  And I have to say props to Aaron and Catherine – they are a couple that keeps a smile no matter what happens.    Very, very impressive and my family and I are very thankful for all the support they give us.

And Catherine’s mom stopped by – another great grandmother moment.  Plus she brought Ms. Pooshanka.  I seem to be attracting small, white fluffy dogs.

Here are a few samples and full gallery here (password required).

Harris Family Session

On Sunday, I met with Jamie, Chris and Caden – their most adorable 6 month old.  Caden has long black hair and a great big smile that looks just like his dad’s.  The temperature dropped about 20 degrees that day so we cut the park shoot short to keep the little guy warm.  But I have to say, I’m almost glad that happened because it forced us inside where their love for the baby and each other came bubbling out.
