Traci’s North Beach Birthday Party

My friend Kate is one of those people that you don’t have to know very long or see very often to be close with. She is just a good person and always upbeat no matter what she has going on in her world (and with two kids and a crazy commute, she has lots going on). So when she said that she was organizing a birthday party for a good friend of hers and needed a photographer I jumped at the chance. We had a blast at Vicoletto and a very cool un-named bar in North Beach. Traci’s family had flown into San Francisco from Maryland so there was great energy all around. Turns out Traci and I have a good group of mutual friends and it was fun seeing them.

Happy Birthday Traci and thanks to Kate for letting me be apart of the festivities.

Heidi’s 40th

One never knows what to expect when you are asked to photograph six ladies celebrating a 40th Birthday party in San Francisco.  I met Heidi and her crew at the W Hotel in SOMA.  Unfortunately rain and traffic limited the shoot but we had a great time none the less.  I was only there for the first hour of the festivities but I’m fairly confident that they would have a night to remember.

Bella the Dog’s 2nd Birthday

I’m not too proud to say that I was a bit nervous when Alice called me asking me to photograph Bella’s 2nd Birthday.  Bella you see is an incredibly cute, love-able, energetic dog (sorry I don’t know dog breads).   Bella was having a birthday party with all of her friends.  4 dogs and 8 people can make for a very interesting photo shoot.  But like many people in San Francisco, Bella is Alice’s baby.  And since I’m a child and family photographer, I couldn’t walk away just because someone’s child is of the 4-legged version.  Wouldn’t be neighborly of me.

And I can tell you, that Alice through quite the birthday party.  She and Adam put out a fabulous spread complete with cupcakes and killer tacos.  Their friends were great and Bella had a slew of little buddies to play with. I definitely had a hard time keeping up with the dogs.

Thanks Alice, Adam and Bella – I had a great time and hope you enjoy the photos.

Shayna’s Birthday Party

On Saturday, I had the good fortune of meeting Shayna and her parents at the Bernal Heights Community Center.  Sue, Lucius and I were there for Enzo’s show and they were there to celebrate Shayna’s third birthday.  I had some spare time and my camera so I offered to shoot the party.  The kids were great of course and Shayna was a perfect little princess.  The face painter (I don’t have her name yet) was just amazing.  One of the best kid party activities I’ve seen.  Thanks to the Blum family and everyone that attended the party for being so nice and generous to me.  Hope you like the photos.

Chloe’s Birthday Party

We were all waiting in anticipation for Chloe’s birthday party because Catherine had arranged for Enzo Garcia (the musical genius behind Breakfast with Enzo) to play.  The party was hosted by Chloe’s grandparents at their beautiful home off of Alta Plaza Park.  Enzo brought his unique brand of entertainment and we all had a great time – especially when the cup cakes appeared.
