December 9, 2009 Daisy + Adrian Engaged!

Every-so-often our clients like to scout their own shoot locations and because we have already been to and, in-fact, live right down the street from the Bridge Theatre we said "OK!" :) Daisy and Adrian wanted the theme of the shoot to be like "old Harlem" which is awesome because they totally fit the part! I LOVE the final outcome so much! Thanks for your inspiring ideas guys, you rocked this shoot!!!

Whitney and Marcellos - As you both are aware, words and writing are my passion. I am left spellbound and speechless, however, as to how perfectly and beautifully you've managed to not merely capture the very feel and concept that Daisy and I had envisioned, but how you've as well managed to present something as intangible as the very light of our ever illuminated love for one another on film. That is of course testament to the talents of you both, but it is indeed more so a sparkling little bit of evidence of the fact that there is, indeed, magic within the eyes of you both. Beautiful, beautiful photos that will be treasured for generations to come. Humbly, hand over heart: Thank you both. -A.

The photos are just so beautiful and amazing! They definitely capture the love that Adrian and I have for one another. Your direction during the photo shoot was greatly appreciated, especially since I was a little nervous. It was great working with you both and I would highly recommend you to others. Thank you so much Whitney and Marcellos for doing such an awesome and wonderful job! :)

Definitely my favorite!! Not because they're my family, but love how it takes you back to another time and place by the way you've captured their vision and brought it to life. Gives me that nostalgic feeling! Thank you Whit & Marcellos for all your time and hard work into making beautiful photos that one can truly treasure for a lifetime. :) Love ya guys!

Hey Paco & Betty! Out of all the talented folks at the Lyon Shop, I have to say you two are way up there on the scale of awesomeness. If I ever make it down there, or if you ever want to come hang in Portland, I'd love to get together!

Carla is Marcellos' adorable younger sister who is even more adorable pregnant! Her delightful, easy attitude along with lots of giggles made this shoot effortless. It also didn't hurt that we got to shoot in San Diego's beautiful Seaport Village!

We recently composed and printed this awesome collage for the Stokes family. It looks so amazing framed and matted all in white. Every time Evelyn looks at it in her room she says "baby!" and smiles :) I think I need my own kid. Hahaha!

November 14, 2009 Hay is for horses and chicken and fish!

All we have to say is WOW! This shoot just fell right into place on a day that was looking like rain but ended up being perfect! The sun came out for us and Linda was such a wonderful and willing model with lots of colorful, fun clothes. She is all kinds of cool on and off the camera, not to mention a smokin hot pregnant woman, WOWZA! Check out these stunning pics of this lovely baby mama to be...

November 7, 2009 Axis Community Projects Halloween 2009!

Well guys, ACP has done it again. Every year they host halloween for the Potrero Hill neighborhood and every year it gets better! If you and your family haven't made it out to this event yet, then you definitely should come next year, it's the best! You might remember last year's halloween Funbooth! with some of the most adorable costumes and kids you've ever seen. Well, this year is really giving last year a run for their money! You might recognize some of the same kiddos too (my how they have grown!) All I have to say is costumes + infants = CUTENESS OVERLOAD!

November 6, 2009 The George Family!

This shoot was super fun because we shot in a park at the top of Nob Hill which had tons of fun elements to play with, total win! And guess what...yep, more twins! The George family is so sweet we just want to eat them up! The twins were the cutest and mom and dad were so calm and collected, I now feel like having twins is a total breeze! I have to know, what's the secret guys??? ;)
