Wright Family Session

Dan — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 05:36:12 +0000

For those of you that fell in love with Nora in my last post you will be happy to see a few more shots that I took earlier this week. The Wright’s were so fun to shoot with! We first started out at their house where Jessica had the great idea to take some pajama party photos. After that we headed to a local park to take advantage of the beautiful day that we had. Below are a few of my favorite shots of the day. Enjoy!

Yesterday I made my way to San Ramon and shot the beautiful Wright family. As I was looking through the photos I came upon this shot of Nora that I just have to show you all! Stay tuned for most highlights!

Zach Puccinelli: 4 Months Old!

Dan — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 20:24:53 +0000

Ready for some more baby awesomeness? A few days ago after getting back from my travels in New Zealand I made a visit to the Puccinelli Household to catch up and see the progress of baby Zach. Zach is a little over 4 months old now and he is so freakin’ adorable! You might remember my photo session with Kelly when she was pregnant with Zach (here) and then I came back and took some photos just after Zach was born (here).

Each time I see the little (big) rugrat his personality and size increase dramatically. Kelly and Zach had a few minutes to pose for some photos while I was there and below are a few of my favorites.

Baby Zach Session

Dan — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:12:01 +0000

I haven’t shot many baby sessions as a photographer, but if I were to dream up the best baby to take photos of I would pick baby Zach. Not only does this cool kid have his own facebook profile already at the ripe old age of 2 weeks old, but he was the most mild mannered kid I have ever seen! As long as Kelly and Alan kept him fed and his diaper clean he was good to go.

Last week I had the opportunity to see Zach and take some photos of the new family. Below are a few of my favorites from the session. He’s one lucky boy.

Welcome to the world Zach!

Smith Family Session

Dan — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:24:13 +0000

Yesterday because of work I found myself driving through Salt Lake City, Utah after having been in Death Valley National Park for the week. WOW was it cold in Salt Lake! I was only in town for a day, but I managed to get out my camera and take a few shots of Paul, Jo, and their two boys. Paul and Jo had one goal for me: “Get a family photo where no one is blinking or fighting.” A mighty challenge, but I was up for the task! Below are a few of my favorite shots of the day. Beautiful family Paul and Jo! Enjoy!

Tahoe Group Session

Dan — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:03:35 +0000

For those of you that have not been to Lake Tahoe before, I want you to step away from the computer, get out your bucket list, and add Lake Tahoe as one of the places that you have to see. I am consistently amazed at how beautiful this area is! If you follow my blog you will remember the Tony & Soraya wedding I photographed right on the lake just a few weeks ago.

This time I headed up north to photograph four, yes FOUR, different families that came to spend the day together to get their pictures taken. And as an added bonus Matt & Vaungaylyn joined the group last minute to get some engagement photos for their recent engagement.

It was a beautiful day up and we found a good place to shoot outside amongst the pine trees and classic Tahoe countryside. Below are just a few of my favorite photos of the day. Thank you to everyone that came out! I had a great time getting to know you all. Enjoy!

Roberts Family Session

Dan — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:58:13 +0000

After taking photos of the Jolly family up in Folsom, Ca I headed just 10 minutes down the road to the Roberts family and spent some time capturing them also. We had a great time hanging out and Sofia and Grayson were even nice enough to take me to their rooms and give me the grand tour! Below are some of my favorite shots of the session. Thanks again Nicole and Nate for allowing me to come into your home and shoot your beautiful family!

Happy Thursday Everyone!

Jolly Family Session!

Dan — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:56:11 +0000

This past weekend I headed up to Folsom, Ca for a great family session with Kelly, Lucas, Ethan, and newest member of the family Emily. It was a beautiful fall day and after a few photos at home we headed to a near by park where Ethan had the time of his life swinging on the swings. He reminded me of myself when I was young! Blonde hair, blue eyes, and full of energy. What a beautiful family! Below are a few of my favorite shots of the day. Enjoy!

I just LOVE this shot!

Family Session: The Griffis Family

Dan — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:50:11 +0000

I just finished up editing some photos of the Griffis family down in lovely Santa Cruz, Ca. Annalisa had contacted me to see if I could come down and take a few shots of their beautiful family before the Christmas season arrives. It was a lot of fun meeting them all and I can’t wait to go down again sometime to see how the boys have grown! Below are a few of my favorite shots. Enjoy!

Zarcone Family

Dan — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:51:12 +0000

So if you read my last blog post you’ll remember the energetic Zaitz family session from last weekend. Turns out, that was not the end of the fun for that day! I also had the pleasure of photographing the Zarcone family. I’ve known them now for many years and it’s been great to see their growing family and all the love that they share with each other. They also have two A-dorable boys (Luke and Josh) and we spent a little time together while watching the rain fall down outside.

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot. I couldn’t just pick one.
