San Francisco Trip



























This December Tristan and I went to San Francisco with our friends Nate and Kat. We had a blast walking around the city and EATING! We are all avid Food Network fans and we had a list of about 20 restaurants that we wanted to visit while we were there... unfortunately our trip was only for the weekend, and we weren't able to go to even half of them! But the few that we were able to visit were awesome. Grubstakes (best burger), Buena Vista (inventor of the Irish Coffee, and the bartender did magic tricks!),

After hitting a few wineries on the drive up, we got to our hotel, the beautiful St. Frances hotel, and the guys flipped out in the lobby because they saw Joe Montana, who evidently has an apartment on one of the top floors. They spent the entire weekend wondering what he was dong, if he was planning on meeting us for lunch, if the other called him to let him know where we would be in case he a had time to meet up for coffee...Kat and I mostly ignored this constant banter from them.

On Sunday while the guys went to the Seahawks vs. 49ers game Kat and I went shopping! It was a really great weekend, and I'm looking forward to the next time we get go back and try all the other restaurants on our list.

Little Big Bro

















This cute little family had me shoot their Christmas card pictures, and they used them to tell their family and friends about the newest addition to their family! Such a cute idea! We did the shoot at Tri-City Park in Plcentia. We had a blast playing with the ducks and random limes and sticks... Well I mostly just took pictures of little Carter while he did all the playing with mom and dad.

Monroe Family













Here are a few images from the family session I did with my good friends Katie and Brandon and their sweetie-pie, Mya. We went to the park for this shoot and tried to get as many shots as we could between rain showers and string cheese breaks. It was a struggle, as you can see from the images, to keep those little shoes on those little feet! And as hard as the rain made this shoot we were able to get some really cute images and because of the gloomy weather I think it provided a really nice, evan lighting situation.
