I truly had hoped to have time to schedule some mini-sessions for the holidays, but weddings and regular portrait sessions kept me hopping until the bitter end… I will be organizing a spring open house instead, so we’ll be all ready for Mother’s Day! Thanks for understanding! I do have a couple of openings for some regular sessions during the next couple of weeks, so call if you have some extended family in town for the holidays, and want to capture those special relationships… Hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season, and an amazing new year in 2010!

San Francisco Newborn Photography – A Portrait of a (little) Lady!

Sound the trumpets, strike up the band, in other words, “hit it!” Sydney is here, and she’s such a pretty little newborn baby. You forget how small they are when they are newborns… and how soft they are, and how cute and tiny their feet are, and those soft little birdie sounds they make… Ahhhhhh!!! I love to photograph newborn babies! (Nicole, yours are next, just say the word when they are ready!!)

I am very proud to be Brooke and Todd’s family photographer… I love to go to their house and see images of them that I photographed over the years, their engagement, their wedding, them at friends’ weddings… Love them! Todd was one of the very first people I met when I moved to San Francisco through our mutual friend Dina, and fate would have it that he would meet and fall in love with the wonderful Brooke, who was friends with my friend Jamie, and the fabric of all of our lives was woven together from all different directions… Ok, so that’s the story of how eventually we would all be completely elated at the arrival of their beautiful daughter, and again me with my camera in tow (which is a great excuse to get in for visits with friends with newborns by the way… :^) gathered with the family to capture Miss Sydney’s new sweetness. I was tempted to sneak her out in my camera bag, and leave my 5DMark II in her place, but even though Brooke is a photographer, I don’t think she would be at all excited about the switcheroo…

Ok, Kim, quit your yapping and show us some pictures…

It all came together like a dream… Producing a photo shoot is a LOT of work to make things happen, and I must say my team on this shoot was one of the best ever! Beautiful hotel location in Downtown San Francisco… beautiful models who get A++ in professionalism and were lovely and wonderful to work with! Makeup & hair by the adorable, amazing and fun Armando at Get Your Do Up I could go on and on about him, and will be recommending him to all my clients! Dazzling jewelry from the 2010 line of bridal fashion jewelry from Carrie D. Mader  – I am beside myself with these images, and I can’t wait to feature them in several locations! Here’s two of my favorite, and oh, yes, there will be more as we go!
