Kruse Family Photos

July 12, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Best thing about being a photographer is getting to meet knew people and getting see something special about their lives.  Today I met Stephanie and Mike Kruse and their two beautiful children Lilly and Grason.   Lilly is just full of spunk and spent a good amount of time running and running and running the lawn at Julius Kahn.  Grason is only 11 months and his little personality is really starting to show.  Stephanie and Mike have their hands full for sure but it looks like they are doing a fabulous job.  It’s always great to photograph a family where you can just feel the love.

A few examples below.

Lucius Collection Spring/Summer 09

I’m watching Wimbledon and thought a collection of baby shots would be nice for the grandparents.  These are from the past couple months.  Fun to see him grow.

July 4th in San Francisco

July 5, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Perfect day and a great party organized by the super couple of Kristen and Jeff Slye.  The Pan Handle in Golden Gate Park was just going off with islands of bbqs and parties from beginning to end.  We of course where child centric so nothing got too out of control.  Loads of cute little ones.  Again – hard to think about what we did before children.

Thanks to everyone for the good times.

Also testing out the D300.  Solid piece of machinery for sure.  But I think I have to agree that the D700 has a better light meter.  Of course is that light meter worth the extra price tag?  Hard to say.

Abramowitz Family Portaits

June 29, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Had a wonderful family portrait session with Abramowitz family from Mill Valley.  Parker is 2 and Stephanie and Mark are expecting number 2 in August.  Beautiful family with lots of energy and love.  We took pictures in and around their home (love the big back yard) and in Kay Park.  Little Parker is a budding photographer and took to photographing Mom and Dad from my lap.  The standout photo is of Parker curled up in a play tube.  Smile for the ages for sure.  But one photo that caught my eye is of Mark and Parker walking on the street.  Mark looks like a movie star that was followed by the paparazzi.

Best part was getting a goodbye hug and kiss from Parker when I left.  Just have to love those moments.

Picnic with Cat, Stephen and Bern

June 22, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Sunny, warm days in San Francisco can’t be taken for granted – even when they are on a school night.  We put out a call for a picnic at Chrissy Field.  Fortunately Cat, Stephen and Bern stepped forward.  One roasted chicken, a bottle of wine and pefect weather made for a great night.  Bern brought a “dumpy” truck which made for loads of fun.  One of those moments that makes it hard to leave San Francisco.

Jonah’s Birthday Party

June 14, 2009 By Leave a Comment

In a stroke of brilliance, Jonah’s parents Rebecca and Ari held the birthday party at My Gym in Potrero Hill.  How they predicted the one day of rain among many sunny days is beyond me. But the indoor space what perfect for the rainy day.  Loads of fun with kids playing, singing and generally having a great time.
