Feather Love Workshop Mini Part 1

I'm freshly back from the most wonderful professional experience ever, the Feather Love Workshop!

I'm inspired, motivated, and focused and I can't wait to get going on new ideas and living it up!

I'm going to start with this Polaroid of me taken by Aimee Adams. Chloe Aftel, a Polaroid ace, was a guest speaker at our workshop and rocked out a Polaroid session! After a brief overview of her different cameras and different gear, she let us take a few portrait shots of each other. Aimee and I paired up and she asked me to flip my hair to the side. Done and done. This rules and I love it.

I'm lucky. There are many reasons why I feel like one of the luckiest gals around. The two main reasons are my two main guys... my husband Chris and our sweet little son. Not only are they both kind, sweet, funny, and charming, they're both crazy handsome and I love to take their picture! When our son was born, I decided I wanted to take a photo every day of our boy! I was pretty good the first year, and not super great the year after that. One of my resolutions this year was to get back into it! I've been doing pretty well... not perfect, but I'm ok with that! After approximately 1200 days (3 years & 4 months), we have a great little library of 708 photos. I just uploaded a new batch of photos from the past few weeks. Here's a link to the Flickr site and below is one of my favorites from the new round of pics. 

Overall, I think it's been a great way to document his first few years. We haven't kept a baby book, so this is kind of our thing. Well, we do have a Twitter account for the silly things he says. How are you chronicling your days with your kids?

San Francisco Wedding Photographer :: Susan & Ted part 2

Welcome to part 2 of our wedding adventure. If you missed the getting ready pictures from part 1, go check 'em out... I think they're lovely. Susan & Ted are lovely! And they get all married up in this next part of our story! They'd originally planned on a wedding on the lawn at the Legion of Honor, but due to bad weather, it was moved inside to the auditorium. It was warm, dry, and full of love! 

Susan made her aisle decorations from fresh rosemary and they really smelled wonderful. It was a perfect ceremony and it's always a treat to see brides just go with it when things don't go as they'd planned. Susan was a superstar :)

I'll post the portraits and reception in the next installment! Enjoy! Let me know what you think!

San Francisco Wedding Photographer :: Susan & Ted part 1

I'm so excited about this wedding! Susan & Ted were the super awesome winners of last year's giveaway contest! Susan and her girls got ready in an amazing suite at the Fairmont. I just snapped away while Susan got all gussied up! I think her Calvin Klein shoes and she's a super star rockin' the low veil!

After the girls got ready, we met in the lobby to take a few family portraits. The lighting was perfect, despite the rain. 

I have a lot of photos to share from their big day, so stay tuned, my loves!
