| Pernille | Friday, April 12, 2013 • Portraits |

|
|
| This is a bittersweet story with the happiest possible ending.
In 2007 I photographed Jennie and Chico's wedding at the Meadowood in St. Helena. Jennie and Chico were that perfect kind of couple: funny, warm, and laid back. I could tell at the wedding they were well loved. I could also tell, from some of the toasts, that Chico had had a health scare with cancer. It was in remission. After the wedding I became friends with Chico's family. In 2010 Chico's cancer came back. This time it was bad. The family knew that he would not survive. They just didn't know how long they had together. Jennie and Chico were trying to have a baby, but they didn't manage to get pregnant before Chico died. I got the e-mail from Jennie in March 2011. I was devastated and so sad. It made me wish I had known Chico better. The last time I saw Chico we were at his mom's house. He was showing me photos he had taken. He was a good photographer. His photos were just like him: witty, funny, and thoughtful. I thought that if he ever wanted to quit his job in finance he could be a professional photographer. Now I wish I had talked to him more about that. I wish I had talked to him more, period. Last year Jennie e-mailed me again. She wanted me to photograph her newborn baby! She and Chico had frozen his sperm. Amazing. Before he died, Chico had a Danish nurse named Pernille who took great care of him. He and Jennie decided that if they ever had a baby girl they would name her Pernille. Here are Jennie, Pernille, Jennie's partner Richard, and their Plotthound Lucy. Today on facebook Jennie wrote that Pernille has Chico's eyes. (I hope figuratively as well as literally). Today is Chico's birthday. He would have been 32. Happy Birthday Chico, we miss you dearly. |

| RJ, Krista, and Willie | Saturday, March 30, 2013 • Engagements |
|
|
|
|
| Willie is the coolest dog in the world. His parents RJ and Krista are the coolest people. They came all the way from Minnesota to San Francisco for a doggie photo shoot! Willie had never seen the ocean. He thought it was a big lake.

| Family shoot in the Oakland Hills with VW Bus | Wednesday, March 20, 2013 • Portraits |
|
|
|
|
| My friend Mary McHenry and her family near their home in the Oakland hills. Her kids are my favorite kind: rambunctious mixed with adorable. And her husband Drew's 1961 VW Westfalia Camper is a thing of beauty. Oh, and Chaco the majestic Australian Shephard. Now I want my next dog to be an Aussie, please.
