Danielle, Ben and I got together for a maternity portrait shoot in the nick of time. The next day, Danielle and Ben became parents! Isn’t she gorgeous? There are many more sexy momma photos that are private. I can’t wait to meet the newest member of the family.

family day in the park
I had the most fun with Jeff, Kaye and their girls at Cordonices Park in Berkeley. One of the things I love about being a photographer is my ability to capture important family moments like a child graduating high school and moving on to college. That’s big. It changes the whole family dynamic. So, I...
Backyard Family Portraits with Chuck, Betsy and Kids
I love donating my photography to community organizations; it’s a win-win. In this case, I donated a portrait sitting to Berkeley High School for their annual fund raiser. The winner is an old college friend of mine who I haven’t seen in years! I had the pleasure of meeting his family and spending time photographing...
Sam the bar mitzvah man!
Sam is one of our family friends so it was an absolute pleasure for me to photograph him on his bar mitzvah day. Sam is a boy who is full of energy and has a silly sense of humor but he was quite relaxed and serious on his bar mitzvah day. He was surrounded by...
Mazel Tov Jessica
Jessica is a young woman who is poised, beautiful, smart and unbelievably talented. Jessica came to her bat mitzvah day radiant, relaxed and ready to knock the socks off those who heard her sing. I have never heard a 13 year old with such a magnificent voice as Jessica’s who chanted the prayers in 3...

Mazel Tov to Bowen the Bar Mitzvah
Some bar and bat mitzvah kids are naturally poised and confident when they stand on the bimah reciting their torah portions and delivering their teaching drash. Bowen is one such teenager. Not only did he chant his Hebrew learnings beautifully and give an interesting lecture but he also played a song on his saxophone. I...
Newborn Portraits of Baby Sam
Oakland has a new resident, Baby Sam. I photographed baby Sam and his 2 year old brother when Sam’s mom was pregnant. It was so nice to meet Sam and photograph the whole family. Isn’t he adorable? I also designed baby announcements so friends and family can get a peek at this cutie-pie....
Pregnancy Never Looked This Easy
I had the privilege of photographing K for a maternity shot. She was delightful, fun and beautiful. Being pregnant is such a powerful time in a woman’s life and K makes it look easy. I’m glad to see that women these days celebrate their pregnancy and take the time to honor it with a photo...
Art Showing in Contemporary Jewish Museum and Laney College
This has been a wonderful month for me to show my art in two fantastic venues: San Francisco’s Contemporary Jewish Art Museum and Oakland’s Laney College. I currently have a photo in a group showing of Bay Area Synagogues. My contribution is of my synagogue, Congregation Beth El in Berkeley. Our synagogue is quite...
