Crissy Field

a couple of sundays ago we went to crissy field for lisa's birthday bbq. as you may know the weather in san francisco can change drastically from day to day. this particular sunday the sun was hiding behind a bunch of clouds and the wind was blowing. the day before i shot a couple near crissy fields and the weather was warm with blue skies (i'll be posting those pictures very soon).

anyways, at the last minute i figured i should bring my camera because all the kids will be there. i'm so glad i did because i got some of the cutest pictures!! gianna's dad was off playing football with the boys so since her mommy wasn't there that day i watched her. we walked over to the beach with the other kids to walk in the sand and to check out all the kites. here's some of the photos i snapped.

i love this photo. i didn't pose her... she sat that way all by herself!

Luca

my cousin luca is a high school graduate! a few weeks ago we drove to sacramento to attend his graduation party at his grandma's house. i'd never been to emma & hersh's home but they have a beautiful backyard perfect for a graduation party!

alec wasn't too happy about going to sacramento because of the heat but we lucked out... it was one of those awesome warm summer nights. it was nice to see everyone and hang out.

luca and his friends are off for a european trip before heading to college in the fall. he & stasi are going to SFSU, my alma mater. see you crazy kids in san francisco.

congratulations luca!

Juliet is One

last weekend i went to juliet's first birthday party in san francisco. the morning started off a little foggy but by the time the party got started it was sunny!

i have more photos to come in the next week... another wedding, 4th of july and my cousin's graduation party.

here's the birthday girl with her family & friends.

i love the look on her face. she's looking at a polaroid i took of her minutes before.




the pixie fairy was there to entertain the kids and do some face painting. the boys opted for arm painting instead. a snake and a train on their arms.


this dad was having fun

Birthday Party

we went to a birthday party a couple weekends ago for our friend's little girl... gianna turned 2 years old. the day started off drizzly and cold but the sun finally came out just in time for the pinata.
