A sneak peek from today. Even in August, San Francisco can get chilly.

I’ve been seeing this cutie since she was 10 days old. And then again for her 3 months session. It doesn’t stop here… we have 2 more sessions (9 and 12 months) coming up!





Welcome to my blog!
I’m Klo (much easier to say than Klodjana, right? trust me, my name looks more difficult than it really is). I’m a wife, a mom, a photographer. I’m 28.
I became a professional photographer in 2007. Not too long ago, but I’ve put everything into it. I love my job. It is probably the best job in the world!
I love food. Vacations are so only if I go to the beach on hot summer days. I speak 4 language (Albanian, Italian, English and Turkish) and have at least 4 more on my “wish list”. One day I will learn them. My (Italian) husband spoils me by cooking every night. I am a “citizen of the world” – born and raised in Albania, lived for 7 years in Italy (where I also scored the guy willing to put up with me) and currently in the Bay Area. Future plans include moving back to Milan in a few years. I wish I could live in a place with no winter. Actually, I wish I could travel the world. Literally. My English is great but I have an accent – some find it cute or funny.

Where is the summer?August 18th, 2010This year’s summer here in the Bay Area has been awful. Coming from the Mediterranean, everything under 90′s seems freezing to me. Unfortunately, this year we haven’t been able to fit in a vacation somewhere warm enough to sunbathe. We were thinking Hawaii (went to Kaua’i last year and wanted to try Maui this time) [...] |
This year’s summer here in the Bay Area has been awful. Coming from the Mediterranean, everything under 90′s seems freezing to me.
Unfortunately, this year we haven’t been able to fit in a vacation somewhere warm enough to sunbathe. We were thinking Hawaii (went to Kaua’i last year and wanted to try Maui this time) but there’s always something that comes up. It’s either work, the birthday party, seeing the sleep consultant for kiddo’s sleep issues, travelling to Milan in fall for a photoshoot, following hubby to Miami for a 2-day conference after that… It’s little bits and pieces that don’t allow for 10 days free of anything to do that we can just take off to rest.
How does Christmas in Maui sound? In the meantime, I will live vicariously through last year’s memories…

Officially into his second year of life, my son is now working on running around to drive me even crazier. Life gets incredibly exciting by the day, though.


The First Birthday Party was exhausting, for him as much as for us… I’ll share more soon.
Isn’t the cake looking amazing? Check out Studio Cake. They did such a great job and it tasted even better than it looks. Here you can see the cake “on location”, right before we let the little monster play with it.
To the right, the cupcake toppers I made.

While in LA…August 8th, 2010 |
These shots are dated a few weeks back. Took them while on a trip to LA, where I met with David Giral and Melissa Biggs.

Olivia | Sneak PeekAugust 2nd, 2010 |
I had quite a busy day today, with two sessions back to back. First one, Olivia. Here she is in her 1st birthday party outfit. Little Miss Olive doesn’t officially become a toddler until August 11, though :)

I have to admit that as soon as I saw her outfit I thought (and said it out loud, too) ‘now I want a girl!’.



By the end we got messy with a cake smash, but this is all I have to share for now…
