Bettina, Ben and Sasha the dog – First time at Crissy Field

After living in San Francisco for almost 20 years (crazy its been that long), I forgot what it’s like to have just moved here.  So it was fun to visit Crissy Field with Bettina, Ben and their little dog Sasha.  They have only been living in San Francisco for a few months so this was their first time in the park.  We talked about the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and all the things you can do in the park.  But none of us had as much fun as Sasha.  Apparently, Crissy Field has a plethora of smells and Sasha did her best to sniff out them all.  This was a portrait session so I spent good amount of time chasing after her hoping to catch a glimpse of her cute little face.  Best part was seeing her jump to snatch treats out of Ben’s hand.

Thanks Bettina and Ben – I enjoyed meeting you and Sasha.  Have fun getting to know San Francisco.  Its a truly magical place.

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.
