I always say I love my life, my family & those I choose as my family–> My Friends!
I received an email from a college friend I haven’t seen in years, seriously I’m not kidding YEARS, telling me her & her husband were coming to San Francisco. I was so overly excited I couldn’t wait to see her!
Aren’t they an absolutely cute couple?
I snuck away form work to have lunch with them on their last day in town, as I sent them off to the Castro. Later we met again and headed out to North Beach to do some touristy stuff. UM ok I am the worst tourist in San Francisco. Absolutely oblivious to the tourist sites, so when I notice one it’s typically in a pictures I’ve taken where the people are the focus. OOPS! But this time I was better I noticed the Trans America Building seen far off in the Financial district.
Regardless we had a blast! Grabbed some beers at an Irish pub O’Reilly’s and then headed to my beloved Steps of Rome. All found in North Beach, San Francisco.
Evelyn & Omar I can’t wait to see you again! Next time we will even squeeze in more photos!! Hasta Pronto!!!
If you are coming to San Francisco and would like me to document your day as you are a tourist here, drop me a note! I would love to spend the day with you!!!

I seriously love doing portraits in the park each Spring! It’s a great opportunity for you to come out and get a quick session done in between the holidays and the new school season. And an even better opportunity for me to see you and a chance to catch up!!
That is exactly what the beautiful Rose Anna and I did.
I loved getting to know her boys a little and had so much fun chasing them around. Truthfully I was TIRED by the time we wrapped up. I have posted a ton of images of these cute boys and their fun expressions!!
How cute is this next set? Video games will teach kids the funniest things.
I couldn’t even pick a favorite I loved so many. Do you have a favorite? If so which one?
Ok maybe this one is my favorite. Mostly for the emotion and the bond between a mom and her “baby” that it portrays.

I know I’ve said it before but I LOVE San Francisco.
I take many leisurely strolls throughout SF always trying to pick a new way to explore between destinations. I enjoy these walks because it gives me a chance to try a new approach to my photography. I challenge myself to not dismiss anything as plain or not worthy. Sometimes the means of seeing are a Holga, an all manual 35 mm camera or simply my handy iPhone.
How do you challenge yourself to see the otherwise unseen in your daily life? Please tell me in the comment area below.
Here are a few of this week’s findings.
Enjoy!

Ah San Francisco! What a great city. So diverse, with it’s many pockets of neighborhoods. It’s always been one of my favorite cities, and I truly enjoy walking around and discovering new sights. Do you have a San Francisco spot I should check out? Let me know in the comments and possibly I will post some images from it here!!
I am in San Francisco often, & hope to bring you bits and pieces of it here. Images will be taken with different mediums, many times with the iPhone. And on that note images taken while lunching in Yerba Buena Gardens.
If you have never been I totally recommend popping into Samovar tea lounge. They don’t just serve tea the food is delicious!
As you can see the view to die for! Score! Perfect afternoon spot!!!

I am thankful for so many things it would take a million years to list. In summary my family (who puts up with my craziness), my health ( I can still eat seconds of dessert and for that i am SUPER DOOPER thankful), my job which is so fun it’s hard to call a job and for my clients. They are all awesome and have shared so much with me!
Thank you!!
-Mariana
Here is a family to whom I am thankful to.
I met them at a wedding I shot this past summer. She was a bridesmaid. And as fall began I was honored to shoot her whole family and I fell in love with their little cutie pie.
During the session I saw how much they love their daughter. They demonstrated concern (she fell in her new shoes), love ( lots of kisses)
and the hardest thing a parent can do: to let go and know a child will succeed on their own. OK I’m dramatic here but seriously they let this cutie run around and have fun, giving her enough space to explore and even taste a little dirt. 
All while being close by in case she needed a helping hand.
Isn’t her wavy hair precious?
Can’t wait to see this cutie pie again!!
Bye bye for now.
