OFF to Vancouver!

In just a few more hours we'll be flying into Seattle, then renting a car to drive up to Vancouver for 6 days :) I can't wait to photograph Lani's wedding on May 1st! I'll also need to renew my TN Visa on my way back to SF, which will be good for 3 years instead of renewing it annually! This will be Baby Tyler's fourth airplane ride, and the last before he's due at the end of June! So far, he's travelled to Italy, Maui and now twice to Vancouver!

Wish us a safe flight and I'll blog more when I get back next week :)

Happy Wednesday!

Parasol in the Park

I want to thank my dear hubby for helping me take some fun prego pictures over the weekend when it was SUPER blazing hot! We went over to Chrissy Fields to enjoy some nice sunshine :) I'm excited to have another 6 weeks of work before I'm off on maternity leave! YAY!!





Baby Tyler is getting bigger :)

Cherry Blossom Festival

Today is Cherry Blossom Festival in San Francisco! It's got to be one of the hottest days in the city! Because a post is always better with a picture, here's a cherry blossom in full bloom before the season is almost over! Happy Sunday everyone :)

Intimate Boudoir Collection with Nancy

Boudoir sessions are increasingly popular, and they're so fun! My best friend Nancy from Vancouver came to visit for the weekend, and we went to the Britney Spears concert in Sacramento on Saturday. It was a great performance, and we were surrounded by some pretty hardcore teeny-bopper-Britney fans! Back to the sexy boudoir shoot, Nancy and I decided to have some fun and here some of her pictures that she's allowed me to post! LOVE YOU and see you again in 2 weeks when we come back to Vancouver!!!!!!

3 Weeks Young: Baby Alexander

Sweet and adorable baby Alexander was born on March 21, 2009. With an infectious smile and cute pouty lips, Alexander was very well behaved on his first photo session! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet him for the first time, and I can't wait to take more photos of him as he gets bigger!

Intimate Boudoir Collection with Lorena

Lorena is one of the sweetest girls I know, and I was more than happy when she asked me to photograph some sexy boudoir photos as a wedding gift to her fiance Colter. Special thanks goes to Lorena's friend, Jessica for allowing us to use the beautiful furniture and decor at her apartment in Larkspur! Colter will be delightfully surprised when he sees your finished album :)

Intimate Boudoir Collection: Sneak Peak

Boudoir photography is a perfect gift for your fiance and husband, or for that special someone! Contact me for more information and if you would like to schedule a session!

Wedding: Erica + Otto = Promise

Back in February, Randy and I travelled to Maui to photograph our friend's wedding, which took place at a private beach house in Wailea. It was a small and intimate ceremony with their closest family and friends. While it was a nice getaway trip for all of us, we were honored to witness and document the love shared between Erica and Otto. I finally received their permission to blog their long awaited photos---Congratulations again! Mahalo :)

The day started with the beautiful bride getting ready




























Details! Details!




And the night wouldn't be complete without a Luau show!

Portrait Session with EJ

When EJ contacted me to do a portrait session, I was more than happy. EJ is wanting to get into the modeling business, so he asked me to help him take some photos to start a portfolio. Best of luck to you!

E-session: Stephen + Leilani

One of the main reasons we travelled back to Vancouver was to shoot an engagement session for my good friend Lani and her fiance Stephen. I've known Lani since 2001 when we first started nursing school together! That's already 8 years of friendship (with the fab 4) and I'm so thankful that we've remained close friends over the years! When I heard the news that she was going to be Mrs. Janzen, I was ecstatic! Stephen and Lani couldn't be a better match for each other and I'm so glad they are finally tying the knot in just another month and a half! I'm so excited to come back to Vancouver to photograph your beautiful wedding--pregnant and all!

For their engagement session, we started at Gastown in front of the famous steam clock, and we made our way to Granville Island for some fun and vibrant photos! Enjoy!







Lani looks gorgeous!




It was a perfect moment when a stranger with a guitar passed by and serenaded the couple for a quick dance in the street!


One of my favorite shots!






Love this sequence with the vibrant yellow stairs!
