Carnivale!

It's been a while since I posted - life with two kids is, I've found, a pretty busy experience!  Anyway, here are a few shots from the Carnivale we watched while on a recent family vacation in Mazatlan, Mexico...

Sutro Heights!

A couple of weeks ago, we all headed up to Sutro Heights Park to take some photos for this year's Christmas card.  My absolute favorite park in San Francisco, once the estate of Adolph Sutro, this amazing little park sits atop a cliff overlooking the Cliff House, Ocean Beach and San Mateo county beyond.  The view from the park is so breathtaking that you often feel it's a wasted opportunity not to include it in a photograph.  Regardless, here are Max and Kaia, my own little ones, taking a stroll in the evening light (minus the ocean view!)  While my wife and I loved these two photographs, we ended up using a totally different one for the Christmas card.  Funny how that works...!

The eyes have it...

Here's just a couple of images from a recent shoot - this little lady had such striking eyes, and a personality to match.  She was such a fun subject, and didn't tire in the slightest during our 2 hour shoot.  In close-ups like these, if you can catch the light in the eyes you're onto a winner.  With Talia here, I really couldn't miss!

Fun with silhouettes...

In recent shoots, I've been experimenting a little with silhouettes, shadows and more abstract ideas of family shots.  So far, the results have been well-received!

Kaia at Halloween!

My little Kaia was dressed as a piggie for Halloween (it's a long story involving a tale about Curious George, who my son Max was dressed as).  I couldn't help myself posting a few pics of Kaia - she looked too cute!!

Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids to the Pumpkin Patch on 7th Avenue today - Kaia had a great time just looking around, while Max spent the whole time crawling through the hay-bail tunnels.  I squeezed in after him to take the second photo here, and got stuck in there for a while....!

Macro!

I got a great new Macro lens recently, and I stumbled across this shiny little guy while taking it for a few test shots in Golden Gate Park.

Camping at Kirby Cove

Maxie and I went camping recently at Kirby Cove, at the foot of the Marin Headlands in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Here's a photo of Max in his pyjamas right before bedtime, transfixed at being so close to his favourite icon!

Conservatory of Flowers

We took Maxie and Kaia to the Conservatory of Flowers recently for a picnic, and I took these photographs of them playing among the flowerbeds.  The light was really nice - it was one of those San Francisco days where the sun is just barely contained by the fog (not the early morning fog, but the late afternoon high-level Richmond stuff we see in August).
