When Erin and Alex got in touch with me about a maternity and newborn session I was surprised to find out that they were living in New York City. They were just about to move to the Bay Area and were hoping to capture a maternity session with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background […]

In June, my mom came to visit (she and my dad still live on the island of Guam) and we decided to take a little road trip up to Mendocino. I hadn’t been and the week she came was so dang hot (it hit 100 degrees and we don’t have AC!) that we were glad […]
