Kier and Will’s engagement session was lucky in that we had lots and lots of sunshine! Right where the ocean meets the bay next to the Golden Gate Bridge. Sure, it’s beautiful even when socked in with fog, but… shining with brilliant sun is pretty nice, too. I loved how the late afternoon light brought out so many colors, including Kier’s gorgeous blue eyes.
Next up are the photos from their lovely fall wedding!
More Sam and Zach. Beeee-yoooo-tiful!

Part 2 of Sam and Zach’s wedding, featured on Style Me Pretty!
The girl and the fig kicks out the jams with the most delicious tartlets and pot de crêmes… Um, don’t even ask how many desserts I sampled this year.
I loved this wedding, and love working with A Savvy Event! What a fabulous year.

Sam and Zach’s gorgeous wedding is up on Style Me Pretty! I don’t use the term “sun-drenched” lightly… but, good heavens, there’s no other way to describe it!
I’ll have some more portraits and the reception shots in a separate post. For now, I’m just dreaming of that hot September afternoon, with blazing sun, delicious food, and a ridiculously beautiful and in love couple.
Event planning and design by A Savvy Event (love working with them!).
Catering by the girl and the fig (ditto… YUM).
Florals by Fleuressence.
More coming soon!
We had an amazing Christmas. Love, hugs, snuggles, baby presents, baby joy, good food, sunshine… who needs anything else?!
Symphony’s been having some painful teeth coming through (cannot WAIT until those are over and done with), but she was a great holiday trooper anyway.
From picking out a Christmas tree…
To meeting Santa…
To reading “The Night Before Christmas” with family!
To waking up on Christmas morning to her very own kitchen, fully stocked:
And thoughtful, handmade gifts from friends and family:
(Believe me when I say we have tried everything with this girl’s hair! No amount of deep conditioning can save these frizzies now)
To looking just like Cindy Lou Who from Whovile (or in this case, Symphy Sue Who), even after the pigtail elastics come out!
(Although the hair does go nicely with antlers, yes?)
To eating dinner with her baby cousin, Dylan:
To reenacting last year’s Christmas day, babies-in-diapers photo:
(“We are much too busy to pose like little babies this year!”)
(2010:)
To more cousin hugs and kisses the day after Christmas:
To helping clean up:
(Beautiful Harper!)
To waiting semi-patiently for newer cousin Ada to wake up from her nap for a few minutes of play (just before Harper and Symphony had to take their naps).
… Symphony was curious, amazed, goofy, and lovely, through it all. She brings us so much joy, and 2011 was by far my favorite Christmas ever! Love, love, love my sweetest Symphony.

Kathleen and Dave brought their families and friends from the East Coast to Wine Country. They were married at the Catholic church in Yountville , St Joan of Arc, and then celebrated at Nicholson Ranch, which is a beautiful vineyard on a hill. It overlooks the highways where Napa and Sonoma counties meet… which is amazingly beautiful, and one of my favorite areas of anyplace anywhere. I have happy memories of exploring those corners of the North Bay with my dad as a kid, and love revisiting them now with fancy cameras in hand!
