Over the weekend we were invited at the Opening Reception of the diLuNa Exhibit at the Keeble & Shuchat Gallery in Palo Alto. Check out their work at diluna.org and, if you are in the area, drop by the gallery and enjoy it. There is so much to see.

Aside from being great photographers (I first met them back in December, when we photographed the World March for Peace in San Francisco), Nadia and Luca are also great friends and awesome BBQ makers :)

I’m sure I got a few shots of them together as well but it was probably with their cameras, not mine. But I have this one from December. It was so cold in San Francisco that day.

These were taken after lunch at Donato.

Expecting Ester

September 21st, 2010

Today I’m sharing some portraits of a friend, expecting her second baby, Ester. She made Noel a big brother a couple of weeks ago (so you can imagine these were taken a few months back, when I was in Albania). Note to self: impromptu shoots with a needy preschooler and an even more needy baby [...]

 

Today I’m sharing some portraits of a friend, expecting her second baby, Ester. She made Noel a big brother a couple of weeks ago (so you can imagine these were taken a few months back, when I was in Albania).

Note to self: impromptu shoots with a needy preschooler and an even more needy baby (mine) who decide to steal toys from each other, cry and want to be held by their moms are not a good idea.

I love late afternoon light. Shot right before sunset (7:22pm – no, I didn’t remember the exact time, I checked the EXIF data, which made me realize I never changed my camera settings to local time that is 9 hours ahead).

Gianluigi in the Big Green

September 20th, 2010

This cutie is a very good friend’s son. Photos were taken back in June, when we visited Italy last. I know, took me long enough to get to them… I can’t wait to meet him (and my friend, of course) again, in a mere week, and see how much bigger and cuter he is now. [...]

This cutie is a very good friend’s son. Photos were taken back in June, when we visited Italy last. I know, took me long enough to get to them…

I can’t wait to meet him (and my friend, of course) again, in a mere week, and see how much bigger and cuter he is now.

I love moody toddlers.

Sending me kisses. How sweet!

I’d say that for a totally unplanned session – we just met over lunch and coffee, these came out pretty great!

And this is where the photos were taken… far down this field, which happens to be Gainluigi’s grandparents’ backyard… The half overcast, half sunny weather was interesting.

Poppies | Maternity Portraits in Italy

September 19th, 2010

I love this series, shot in a wheat field… and I’m really excited that during my trip to Italy (leaving in 1 week) I’ll get to photograph Mattia, out of the belly this time!

Portrait of a man

September 17th, 2010

I thought that after the cat, I needed to post a man. Random, I know… but I’m working on some portraits for Robert and sharing sounded like a good idea. I love the lighting in this one.

Portrait of a cat

September 16th, 2010

This is my kitty, Filippo. He just turned 5 years old! I don’t fancy myself as a pet photographer but he has actually been one of my first victims… ehm, subjects, I mean, when I first started photography. He became part of the family the same day my husband bought himself a Nikon D70 – [...]

I don’t fancy myself as a pet photographer but he has actually been one of my first victims… ehm, subjects, I mean, when I first started photography. He became part of the family the same day my husband bought himself a Nikon D70 – the one I didn’t know how to turn on… Long journey since then!

I was actually trying to photograph my son, when kitty jumped in the highchair to escape the toddler that loves to squeeze animals.

The Birth of Geoffrey

September 14th, 2010

You have seen his newborn session already, but it all really started here… with a long med free labor, turned C-section. I had a very hard time selecting only a few images to post. Part I – going natural Part II – the next morning Geoffrey was a peanut, 5lbs 14oz! My job didn’t stop [...]

 

You have seen his newborn session already, but it all really started here… with a long med free labor, turned C-section. I had a very hard time selecting only a few images to post.

Part I – going natural

Part II – the next morning

Geoffrey was a peanut, 5lbs 14oz! My job didn’t stop here but there are way too many photos to share them all.

First part here. I love that he has an attitude already! And a family portrait. Mommy Kermie is looking absolutely gorgeous. You might remember this amazing shot from her maternity session.
