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...
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....
Art Showing in Contemporary Jewish Museum and 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...
Cookies, for me??
My wonderful neighbors/clients Kim, Danny, Molly and Camille are so sweet. They came over to view their portraits and brought me cookies! How did they know that I love cookies almost as much as I love chocolate? I love my business. I get to do what I’m obsessed with–photography–meet terrific people who let me join...
Kim, Danny, Molly and Camille
I support my kids’ schools by donating portraits for fundraisers. It’s a satisfying way to give to my schools and to make families happy that they can help the school and commission a portrait. It’s win win. Lucky for me, the winners of the Berkeley High auction live around the corner from me so...
A day in the park
Nancy and Ben are actually related to me…sort of. Ben’s sister is my cousin’s girlfriend. Since I love family, we’ll call it close enough. And, I adore Nancy, Ben and their family. Nancy’s parents were visiting so we took the opportunity to take family portraits in Tilden Park. Happy Anniversary grandma and grandpa!
Travel tip to self…When in paradise, bring camera!
What is a professional photographer doing in paradise without a camera (besides having an amazingly great time)? I took a 24 hour trip to San Diego to visit my mom-in-law in the hospital. She’s doing well considering. It so happens that it was David’s birthday so we needed to celebrate. We took a...
Happy Father’s Day
Lucky me. I have a loving father-in-law, a fabulous husband and two delightful kids. Cheers to the fathers and the boys that make them dads. I love you all!
