Mollie's little one turned two recently so we all got wet, ate cupcakes and celebrated. What more could you want?

I loved so many of these photos of Jason and Alyson's engagement shoot that it was hard to choose which ones to blog. We shot these in downtown Round Rock and had a great time doing it. They are not only a whole lot of fun, but they also indulge me in geeking out over Harry Potter with them. I can't wait for their November wedding. It is going to be amazing.

We went camping this weekend. I know. Me, camping, same sentence. Hell did indeed freeze over. More photos to come, but this one is my favorite. That was supposed to be my hamburger by the way.

I finally got back the film I shot in Fredericksburg so thought I would share some I liked. The last ones are ones I took of Ben to finish off
the last roll.

Once again I stayed with my dear friends Camille and Jason in Berkeley during my last sojourn to California. I love to not only stay with them, but to also document their lives while I am there. And they are so patient with my constantly sticking the camera in their faces. As documentary filmmakers it must feel strange to them to be on the other side of the camera. Their two boys take it all in stride, as if to say "Oh look, the camera lady is back."

The morning after John and Kara's big shindig (I had them hold the fabulous party invite in the first shot, which was designed by the dynamic duo at Blase Design) we headed over to Golden Gate Park and took some family shots. Their two boys are so amazing and what a happy family they are. I was definitely feeling the love.

Ugh. It is Monday and I have a terrible ear infection, which is very painful and making it hard to get anything done. But I had not posted in awhile, so I thought I could manage to put at least one photo up. This is of the beautiful Theo in his amazing house in Berkeley, California. I will be back soon (once the antibiotics kick in) to post some more. I had two wonderful engagements sessions in the last week that I cannot wait to process and share. So stay tuned.

Josh and Ben are in New York this week visiting Josh's mom (and Josh has business there as well). So it is Sam and I on our own this week, which has been much more quiet than normal life in our house. Here are a few shots of him in front of one of two windows we have that get great light.

I was honored to photograph John and Kara's eleventh wedding anniversary party in San Francisco. It was such a beautiful event. When I arrived at their house in the Sunset district I was a little concerned because they have a typical-sized San Francisco house, which means not Texas huge. I was concerned how I would photograph 50 plus people in the house. But then they took me out back to the yard and I was stunned. Not only is it enormous (particularly by SF standards) but it was outfitted like something out of Dwell magazine or a really hip Pottery Barn catalog. From the Japanese soaking tub containing ice and many bottles of beer to the black linens on the tables, every detail was perfect. It was photography heaven. So here are some of the many photos of this very special fete. I hope they convey the warmth and love I felt that day. Thanks John and Kara for allowing me to document your special relationship, your family and your friends. And thanks to Aimee and Marc for recommending me. Next up will be some shots from the family shoot we did the next day in Golden Gate Park.

Before I left for California I had a couple of playmates and friends over to help us pass a Friday where it was too hot to go outside. I promised Katherine I would not take her photo, but then all of the kids flocked to hear her read and I could not help myself. Sorry Katherine. It was too cute a scene to pass up.

I got back from California on Tuesday and have had a hard time getting going again. It has been a bit of a shock to be back in the heat after the amazing Northern California weather. I don't know what it is about the Bay Area, but the fog, the breeze and the smell of the water are bewitching to me. I had a lovely visit with friends and much sushi was consumed. I of course took many pics, which I will post once I can get my energy up to process them. I was there to photograph the lovely John and Kara's anniversary party, so will have plenty of those to share soon. For now, this one of Camille and baby Zach is one of my favorites. Camille and her husband Jason were kind enough to put me up for a couple of nights. The kids always look at me like, "Oh you and your camera are back again. Okay. Can we play now?"

I am heading out of town tonight for a job in California. So it seems fitting to post the second half of the Fredericksburg photos before I head out for my next adventure. Back next week.

I had a wonderful family photoshoot with five month old twin girls recently. They are simply adorable. I have been wanting to photograph twins for ages so I was surprised that when even when dressed in the same clothing I could not help but see the girls are two very separate children. They have such distinct personalities and expressions and are both such unique beings. I fell in love with both of them.

I love this photo I took of Sara and Orion yesterday.

The heat of the summer in Texas always throws me. It makes me want to do absolutely nothing, including pick up my heavy camera or sit in front of my computer in my overheated office, typing a blog entry. But I will try to persevere one day at a time. The boys seem to prefer popcorn and corn on the cob, but I think that popsicles are the answer.
