Meet my friend Leo. And his gorgeous happy family

Leo and I shoot on opposing teams in the APA pool league in San Francisco. His little mini-me is the same age as my Jack-Jack. Yes his wife and I were pregnant at the same time. So obviously we’ve become good friends. Over the weekend I got the opportunity to photograph this beautiful family. I mean, I’m talking piercing blue eyes and golden blonde curls kind of beautiful

This is only my second shoot where the subjects are not related to me. I was a little less stressed than my first time, but mostly because I know them and just adore them

I mean they’re kind of irresistable! There is so much love here, it was a joy to capture it all

They picked a quiet and (mostly) deserted cemetery by their house for the shoot.


I arrived just before the sun set along the hills and caught some beautiful light all around us.

The star of the outing of course was this little future heartbreaker

This precocious thing stole my heart the moment I pulled up in front of their house. Oh I have I got a little firecracker of a daughter for you young man! 

The session lasted a little over an hour that just flew by too quickly. We took a leisurely stroll back toward our car as our light slowly faded. Mini-Leo was happy and chatty all the way.

Thank you again for letting me photograph your beautiful family Leo and Ali! I had a blast!
