San Francisco ~ A City of Many Tales…

 

My favorite thing to do is document the world around me through my heart, soul and lens. The author William Saroyan said it best “San Francisco itself is art, above all literary art. Every block is a short story, every hill a novel. Every home a poem, every dweller within immortal. That is the whole truth.”

A Vintage/Modern Livermore Family Affair

I am often riddled with butterflies of excitement prior and during a photo session because I love creating and letting my heart and soul flow with my surroundings and the love that binds those I am photographing. I like to scout out an area I am photographing and test lighting prior to the photo session.  I will have an idea or two and gather a whole bunch of props and create and often cannot wait to see what comes out and I am always amazed and humbled.

Oh baby! Meet Baby Cooper…

But a few days old…so precious…you encompass all that is love and purity of heart. You speak yet not, yet you speak volumes of new beginnings and dreams yet to be made and had. A few days old and you already are the presence you will be in this world….. you are uniquely, beautifully, preciously….you….

Janet & Patrick ~ Livermore Wedding

One year ago I had the pleasure of photographing this amazing couple’s wedding. When I met them I was so excited to be chosen to participate in their special most happiest of times. Their remarkable love and dedication to each other continues to renew my faith in love, and is the epitome of why I love photography. It is the capturing of the bonds of love that tie us together as human beings, and the very essence of what chronicles our lives. Happy Anniversary Janet & Patrick and may your love always continue to be the bind that ties you and all your loved ones together.

One Day…

One Day

My life is mine and nobody else’s
It’s in my hands to make it one of a kind!
I will keep my secrets locked up inside of me
Until one day someone special finds the key.
For inside of me is a door,
That will open to a new passageway,
One that will lead to eternity.
But for now, I stand strong,
All the weakness and sadness gone.

It wasn’t true, but just a phase I was going through
A strong wind had blown me off my feet.
But with each day comes a new dawn
Bringing a bright beautiful sun.
Now I am up and on my feet again
With the illumination of the bright moon,
To lead me through the darkness of the night.

I have to find out what I was created for
What I am destined to
Because I had suddenly stopped
I stood frozen in my place while people around me were
Laughing…. Dying…. Playing…. Crying….
While inside me…. I was breaking.
But how could a soul who was once so strong
And so brave
Be so weak and so lonely?
This was but…. Insanity!
My body occupied by a weaker soul,

I was like a bird in a cage
Singing a song of loneliness and sorrows.
But now I know, there are yet to come new tomorrows
Bringing my success with my strength.
I will reach my destiny
No matter how long the road’s length.
For now I am back on my way
To reach what I was meant for
One Day!

Thoughts & Words

The Lonely Tree


There it stands
The lonely tree
Solitary, sun up sun down,
It still stands.

Blowing are the cool fall winds
Orange, yellow, red, brown, are the autumn leaves
Falling to the ground,
It still stands.

Slashing are the icy winter winds
Reaching into the sky like wanton fingers
Are frigid, frost bitten branches, not dead, but asleep,
It still stands.

Reviving are the sweet spring winds
As a green carpet covers the land
And the branches are in joyful blossom once again
It still stands.

Playful are the warm summer winds
Purple, yellow, red, white, and green
Are the newborn flowers and leaves
Dancing as they are tickled
By the kiss of the summer breezes,
It still stands.

Seasons of the soul will pass
The circle of life
Will surpass
A new beginning will always come.

The tree of life in my soul
Solitary sun up sun down
My spirit stands strong
My heart beats for I believe
Summer always comes.
