Jane, Ken, Libby and Ben – Piedmont Portrait Session

Mary — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 21:22:26 +0000

I love these guys. I have been photographing this family for several years -from when Ben was in the belly and they were in the Bay Area visiting from Boston! Now when we see each other, we just hang out, chat, catch up on life, exchange kid stories and I have my camera with me. They are also as lovely on the inside as they are on the outside. (A most important phrase drilled into me by my mother.) Enjoy!

When I was in Miami for Christmas, I took my sister-in-law’s family pictures. There is a spot near the grandparents house that gets the prettiest light around 5:30pm. We went there on Christmas Eve and just wandered around, them being their beautiful selves with their new baby Kylie. I was kind of freaking out about the light and setting -it is such a treat to be in a new environment. It felt very “old Florida” to me.

Brody is a master collector- he just discovered the little coral rocks and started a new collection…

New family. Love them. And the light in their backyard was soooo pretty.

Busy Days…

Hi all! Wow, these past few weeks have been packed! So much going on between shoots, lots of school photography, weddings, standard childhood illnesses to put a sudden stop to things, standard grownup illnesses to put a sudden stop to things, and of course the dog needs to be walked as well. This is always an interesting time of year for me -life moves at a pace that is much faster than my natural rhythm, but I’m happy to ride along with it, knowing things will come to a sudden halt in January. Also, I love what I do -which makes me such a lucky girl.

Here is a recent album cover -I’m going to be throwing up little tidbits as they happen over the next couple weeks. Hope you are all having a good fall yourselves, staying healthy and happy and creating nice moments of time with your family in between the rest of life.

The Pellegrinos have a new baby! I was so happy to meet Sophia -I’ve been photographing her brother Dominic since he was around 5 months old, seeing these guys it is like checking in on old friends.

Rodeo Beach with the Family

Last spring my dad came out to visit -I just found these shots from our little bird watching, surf playing adventure. We went over to Rodeo Beach in Marin. These are the first family shots taken of all of us in a LONG TIME. Thanks, dad. xoxo

Wildflower season…

That’s it -I’m growing Will’s hair out again.

My family! I look dorky but happy.

One of the few times the kids have agreed to walk like this -plus Chaco smiling at us? Love.

It feels like baby season around here! Here is another one, welcome to the world little man! Thomas was about 7 days old when we met. He was sweet, ate and then slept.

Here are some images from a recent shoot with a wonderful family. These boys were SO adorable -funny, sweet, and so cute.

I absolutely love Indian clothing ~ it seems to be the perfect mix of beauty and comfort.

Enjoy!

Love, life, family, music, knitting, cooking, movie-making, goofing around, wine, food, laughs.

I have GOT to get in bed and watch Mad Men, so my writing on the post will be brief. I love this family, and I highly approve of the newest addition. Another case of rounding things out perfectly. xoxo Mary
