below are images of some behind the scenes shots... like monica said, the beach we were standing on aren't rocks and sand but of bones and shells. cool and creepy at the same time.

roxanne and david are expecting baby #2 in march! based on her sonogram, the doctor has said that their second child will be another girl. however, roxanne and many of her family members are skeptical and believe she'll actually be having a boy. we'll just have to wait and see... we took this opportunity to not only shoot a maternity session but a family photo session with david and their daughter, cheyenne, as well.
a little shy during her first pregnancy, roxanne was a bit apprehensive about baring her belly. this time around, she was proud to show off her temporary outie! to all the women who are interested in a maternity photo session, we are very much aware that some "moms-to-be" have different levels of comfort with how much skin to bare. we are always sure to respect this. we also recognize that although you may be comfortable in front of the camera, you might also prefer to keep those images private. just ask roxanne, who decided it would be best to save the images which included her in a bra top for her family's personal collection.
thanks, rox, for sharing your pregnancy glow with us! can't wait for you, david, and cheyenne to see the other photos of your baby belly.

let me ask you guys a quick question, you know those times when you find something good, something inside tells you that you should hold on to it? i get that feeling with eye eighty's music. if ya'll remember, we recently shot them on mare island.
we then got an invite saying that they would be performing live at maxwell's lounge located in oakland. i'm sure glad we attended because listening to their music live just makes your blood flow, to get up and dance!
if you have a myspace, make sure you add them. support your local artists!

our last wedding of the year! december is an awesome time for a wedding, what with all of the christmas decor that can be found in churches and venues and pretty much everywhere you look!
we had the honor of photographing the beautiful couple, marianne & steve as our last wedding to close out a fantastic year of weddings in 2007. having known each other in high school, they didn't actually get together until after they had already relocated to socal at different colleges. it appears they tried several times to meet and "catch up" with each other, though things always seemed to come up. finally, they did end up seeing each other again and the rest is history!
marianne and her gals prepared for the big day at her parents' home in vallejo. there's definitely something special about the bride getting into her dress in the room she grew up in. we were able to see mementos and photos that had been collected throughout marianne's childhood and it felt good to know that we were helping to create more memorabilia to record this momentous occasion for her and steve.
their wedding ceremony was held at saint catherine of siena in vallejo, followed by their reception at the four points sheraton in pleasanton. both sites were beautifully decorated for the christmas season. as chilly as the weather was, the party was filled with the warmth of their friends and family who were all thrilled to be there. their dj, ams entertainment, did a great job with a fantastic treasure hunt game that had everyone scrambling around and in stitches.
congratulations, marianne & steve! have an awesome new year in 2008 and every year, as a newlywed couple! =)

this was a fun and easy wedding... easy because there were lot of beautiful things
to take photos of. marianne and steve did a totally awesome job considering they
planned everything from southern california.
you guys are rockstars for being able to do that, congrats again!

it's amazing to me how many couples we've shot that have been together for over a decade... it's definitely an awesome honor. joy and john are high school sweethearts and their families and friends have been waiting sooooo long for this day. self-proclaimed so-californians at heart, they planned their union to be an intimate 30-person affair in the late afternoon glow at the cliff restaurant overlooking laguna beach, with a view almost as beautiful as this couple. it seemed there was not a dry eye witnessing this couple profess their love and commitment to one another...
a week later and after a restful honeymoon on maui, they jetted back to the bay area for a larger celebration of their nuptials. they wanted to be able to share their big event with the rest of their loved ones at a wedding reception held at the holiday inn in concord. we were fortunate to be invited to this event as guests this time, however, due to a previous engagement, we were only able to catch the tail event of the party. even into the latter hours of the night, the party was still going strong!
congratulations, joy & john! we couldn't be more happy for you both and wish you a marriage filled with lots of love, laughter, and "tarpolines." =)
