Catalyst Magazine Work

Mary — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:05:14 +0000

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing a 4H group in Burlingame. This was an assignment for the magazine Catalyst -a Microsoft magazine that highlights the Bay Area non-profit organizations it supports through funding, grants, etc. My job is to photograph all these wonderful organizations -and every quarter has a different theme. This quarter focused on youth development.

One of the reasons I love this work so much is I never know what to expect -and visiting the organizations and meeting the good people who run and/or benefit from them always puts me in the best mood. The bunnies kind of pushed it over the edge this time! I tweeted that it was a miracle I didn’t stuff one in my camera bag on the way out the door…

Happy Friday!

My favorite director:

(yikes, just saw that you have to sit through a short but nightmare-ish preview. But you will feel fine by the end of the Wes Anderson trailer.)

One of the delightful perks of being a parent is discovering little scenes in your child’s room. Skylar’s imagination is at full-throttle these days, I just love it.

Shot with 24mm 1.4, for you photo nerds out there.

San Francisco City Hall Wedding ~Talia and Paulo~

Mary — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 21:13:12 +0000

My last wedding of 2011. Two hours long. Sweet, short, laughter, love, silliness, quirky city hall signs, proud parents, day before Thanksgiving, and one very in-love couple. What a happy way wrap up the year! All my best to you both.

The Garcia -Berkeley Family Portraits

This was my second year doing a portrait session with the Garcias. We spent a little time hanging at the house and then went for a neighborhood walk through the rambling street of the Berkeley hills. The afternoon light was so pretty and their kids are such a great combination of goofy and sweet. Thank you for a great afternoon!

Happy New Year!

My little girl turned four years old last week, and in celebration she painted her feet purple.

I love you more than words -or pictures- can say. xoxo Mama
