I can’t believe my little boy is going to be one on Monday. A year ago today I was finishing up a month-long stint in the hospital on bed-rest, and preparing to meet our child a whole four weeks early. We didn’t know whether we were expecting a boy or a girl – we’re old...
Since it’s Leap Year this year, I have decided to have a special sale on Wall Portraits until February 29, 2008! Leap into 30% savings on all portrait prints 16×20 and larger! Save from $100 to $300 or more on your order! Free pick up is available in San Carlos or San Francisco, or have...
No, not me, silly…. I am pleased to announce that after countless meetings with my design team, I have a new logo, and some new swanky business cards for the studio. For those of you who have my current business card, it has MY picture on it. I decided I should maybe, I dunno, feature...
Maryann and Dan were married last October in Palo Alto, and I was the associate photographer with my great friend Kristy Hardy. We love to shoot together, and our birthdays are one week apart… great Leo friends forever. Maryann got ready at the Stanford Garden Court Hotel, and the light in her suite was amazing....
Anne & Garrett were married in April 2005 at Valley Presbyterian Church and had their reception at Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club. It was an awesome day from start to finish! They were already parents to an adorable yorkie named Mork, so when Kianna was born, she just fit right in and added...
People always ask me “Why Mill Cottage Photography?” and they want to know the story of why I named my studio after the Mill Cottage. So, here’s the story… get your cup of tea, snuggle in on a comfy pillow :^) Once upon a time… (just kidding) My then boyfriend of two years, Ray, and...
The cottage was built in the late 1800′s, and was quirky and romantic, and we loved it right away. We shared many deep conversations that week, and it was where Ray decided he was ready to marry me. We also spent the first week of our honeymoon here in 2001, after we got married in...
I had the pleasure of photographing Ann with her mother and brother in the fall of last year, and made sure to take some portraits of just her as well… She gave them to her boyfriend, Joe, and just contacted me recently to say they were engaged over the holidays!!! They are so cute together,...
Big Thanks to Ray’s sister, Caroline, for her wonderful birthday gift to her brother!!! There’s not another place we would have rather been this weekend than our beloved Mill Cottage. Yes, it is an actual place… not just some place I created in my mind. Spent the weekend there with Ray and Josh, and enjoyed...
Don’t you just love baby laughter?? I could listen to my son giggle all day long, and I firmly believe there would be no war in the world if we could just pipe that sound everywhere… but that’s a whole other matter… Here is Malin’s baby sister, Eiley, being tickled!
Here is sweet Malin as a newborn at 5 weeks old, and here she is in all her tu-tu glory today! Stay tuned for her sister’s portrait… Their mommy, Amy, get a big shout out for venturing out in the rain to the studio with two little darlings under the age of two… Amy is...
Let’s do a bit of “then and now” for the next two posts… I photographed Chris & John’s wedding on 7/24/04 at Wildwood Acres, and I still get chills when I remember the moment they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day… so romantic! I think I have now done at...
So much fun… Today we had a Studio Day for some impromptu Valentine’s Portraits, and several friends joined in on the fun! This time I have to let Josh go first… This is him practicing his speed crawling. He was quite the handful today!! I love my little boy!!
