Bentley & London . Life Session

Last week I had the pleasure of capturing some fun shots of London and Bentley. The goal was to capture just a few shots of just London and one of the girls together, and do it quickly. Easy peasey, right? Or not. London was REALLY not in the mood to have her photo taken. So I was thrown a curveball and did my best. Here are a few faves that proved even when it might seem like it didn't go well, you never know what you are going to get!

Little London (looking like she actually loves the camera)...






Kimbree, their mom, owns Invitation Chicks in San Antonio. A wonderful invitation store with lots of other treasures too. Check it out!

Neda & Matt . San Jose, CA . Wedding

Neda and Matt were married at the Hotel Valencia in San Jose, CA. Not only are they wonderfully fun and kind people, Neda also has a flare for the fabulous details! Her hairpiece was my favorite! And the color of the girls dresses made my day. It was one of those weddings where you show up and you are soo excited about the possibilities. They had a traditional Persian ceremony. They wanted to see eachother before hand and get a lot of the pictures out of the way. (my favorite way to do it!) Then following the ceremony, the bridal party and I wandered down onto Santana Row for some more fun photo ops. I had such a hard time narrowing down my faves. Thank you, Neda and Matt, for everything! You were wonderful!!

Ozzie & Ali . San Ramon, CA . Family

Ozzie's sister, Neda, was married in San Jose, CA and flew me out to photograph the wedding (images to be blogged shortly). While I was there, she gave her sister the thoughtful gift of a family photo session. I can see why she loves her sister so much. Ozzie greeted me and my friend Gwen at the door with a big welcoming smile. She and her husband Ali have two beautiful girls, Caroline and Emme. Caroline shared her kitchen skills and dolls with us. Thank you Caroline! It was a great start to an amazing wedding weekend! More to come on that soon...

Thanks for being such a pleasure to photograph :)
