Last time I updated, the shot was a Facebook screen grab of a father and daughter during a wedding.
This week, it is a father and son. It was a family portrait session, and I saw this moment and grabbed it.

I always love the chance to shoot a weeding at the Crystal Springs Golf Course in Burlingame, CA. They have a beautiful location for weddings. A wonderful gazebo on a lawn with spectacular views of Crystal Springs Reservoir.
This photo was from a ceremony there in 2009. As a photographer, I love catching moments like these where people are glowing with real happiness. Everything is beautiful and nothing is fake.

I like the simplicity and moodiness of this environmental portrait of an African American boy. There was also nice soft spring afternoon light. Taken in West Oakland, CA.

The best way to get a shot like this with kids is to be friendly and fun. Kids won’t be rushed, and they look much less happy and relaxed if you are trying to boss them around. It takes longer, but it is worth the effort.
If you are taking pictures of your own kids, be prepared for the first hour to not be nearly as good as the second hour.

Christina and Andy got married at Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont California in 2007.
The bride got ready in Patterson Mansion, and then the ceremony was in the gazebo.
