Hard to believe that a YEAR ago I took Connors newborn pictures! Where did the year go?!?!? Nonetheless, Connor has grown big and strong is cute as can be! I was lucky enough to get to spend some time watching him play and laugh at Memorial Park in Cupertino. Mom and Dad were there too and I did get some family pictures for them as well

Thanks for calling me up again Terri! Looking forward to his 2nd birthday already! Probably more than you ~ Connor May Your Year be filled with much love and laughter! Enjoy!

Maternity Session – Half Moon Bay

singletracey — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 16:58:57 +0000

I met Ayse back in November of 2010. We did Holiday family portraits. Shortly after, there was a new little bundle on the way. I was lucky enough to be asked to meet up again here, 4 weeks before her due date and take a few maternity shots to document the impending arrival! I can’t wait to venture over to take some pictures in November for the holidays and of the newest family member!

Eric and Lee Engagement Session – Carmel, Ca

singletracey — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 17:25:57 +0000

I met Eric and Lee after I did Rose and Cory’s wedding in May. Lee is a friend of Rose’s. After chatting back and forth via email, we decided to meet up to talk photography and weddings. I spent some time sharing my style of photography. They shared their hopes for pictures for their engagement session and their wedding. A few weeks later we were planning an engagement session!

This past Saturday we decided to make our way down to Carmel. We did the first part of our session at the mission and then drove down to Point Lobos State Reserve for part two. I knew Eric and Lee had a great sense of humor and it was clear on Saturday. They laughed and joked and even tolerated the stares of a French tourist and his girlfriend. It was a great time!

As I make my way through all of the images, I pulled a few of my favorites. Eric and Lee, thank you for trusting me and thank you for sharing with me one of your favorite places. I hope you have a great weekend! Most importantly, I hope you like the previews!!

Rose and Bob Wedding

singletracey — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 15:29:26 +0000

As some of you may know, I am in the process of an international adoption. Just before I left to Russia, I had a wedding session with Rose, Bob and Family. Rose and Bob were high school sweethearts. After high school as we all know, we move and start new lives. Well, after many years apart, Rose and Bob met up again and well… the rest is history. They tied the knot in front of family and close friends on June 24, 2011.

Rose is amazing. She is a Catholic Author and Speaker and she has such spark and you just can’t help but want to talk with her. It was such a pleasure to meet Rose and well, she is my first celebrity shoot Thanks Rose for sharing your special day with me. I wish you and Bob MUCH happiness! God Bless!

Booklyn and Kennedi… 6 months

singletracey — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 15:28:18 +0000

So last week my cousin in law.. is that such a thing?? If not I am totally making it a thing. Because when your Italian cousin marries a Puerto Rican, you end up with lots and lots family! And I LOVE IT! I love my big wacky fun fabulous family!

Anyway, Sarah , her hubby BJ and the girls came into town for a family celebration. Since she was here, we figured to have a little fun and photograph the girls to commemorate their 6 month birthdays. Booklyn and Kennedi are identical twins. I can hardly figure them out. But Sarah Jo (thank goodness) can tell you who’s who without hesitation. They are so sweet and precious and happy and lovable! Sarah and BJ, I know you already know, but those two are precious little angels. I am so grateful to God that he gave them to you

Alright, without further hesitation… some of my favorites..

Lil’ JT … 7 years old… REALLY!?!?!

singletracey — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 16:51:08 +0000

It’s another year gone by and another birthday for JT. I can’t believe I have been witness to 5 of them already! JT is growing up quick and before my eyes has gone from a cute little toddler to a handsome little man. And finally, after scheduling and rescheduling because of rain or illness or other commitments, we were able to mark his 7th birthday (which BTW was in March).

So, we got busy taking pictures after Julie finally made it to the shoot location… Oh and NOT her fault at all she was late, it was mine.. I was apparently backwards on my directions and I am not surprised because sometimes, I get confused… Thank goodness for Google Maps and the blue dot to tell me EXACTLY where I am! Julie SORRY again about that! To make up for it I took some fabulous photos.. LOL! Love you Girl!

Cory and Rose…The Wedding; Fortino Winery

singletracey — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 13:52:56 +0000

On May 29, 2011, Cory and Rose committed their lives together in front of family and friends. It was a beautiful day for two amazing people and I was lucky enough to be there to share in it! The weather here in the Bay Area has been strange these past few weeks. Rainy one day and 90 degrees the next. After some rain on Saturday, Sunday started off bright and sunny and that sunshine continued on thru the day! (yay).

The bridesmaids got ready and sipped mimosas and the groomsman arrived ready to send Cory off to join them in the ranks of marriage. From the moment the ceremony ended, the guests were ready to celebrate! They danced to amazing music and sipped on Fortino wine and played in the photo booth that Cory booked as soon as he heard TM Fotography had one! Rose and Cory mingled, laughed and danced. They were perfectly in sync all day and very much in love….

As I work my way thru the many pictures taken and try to create their story for the day, take a sneak peek ….. CONGRATULATIONS Cory and Rose!

Layla and Nadine…Sisters

singletracey — Sat, 21 May 2011 21:19:12 +0000

I have a sister. Many of my clients have met her. She helps me out on shoots. She gives me creative shot ideas, she checks hair on clients, makes sure buttons are buttoned, acts like a clown when we need to get smiles and an extra set of hands to hold babies when necessary. Doing this session with Layla and Nadine was fun because I got to see the interaction between sisters from the beginning. Layla is older and excited and helpful with her sister…. I imagine they will be close as close can be and best friends when they are older… so sweet. Nadine has the most beautiful eyes and lashes. She reminds me of what Snow White might have looked like as a babe. Just beautiful. Nora, it was great to meet you, Ali, your brother and the girls. Thank you for finding me! BTW… the lamb was FAB! THANK YOU! I hope you like the proofs ENJOY!

Waiting on Baby Parks Arrival

singletracey — Wed, 18 May 2011 16:54:31 +0000

My good friend (and loyal client) Veronica is expecting the arrival of her 3rd Bambino. Just a few more weeks (OR LESS) and the wait will be over. Veronica was such a good sport. She hadn’t had a maternity session with her other two kiddos and to mark the third and the child finale of the Park Clan, we decided “lets document it”. Oh and I pretty much wasn’t going to take no for an answer, so she obliged

On Sunday we spent an hour or so shooting the session at Derek and Veronica’s home. It was fun. I know we all laughed a few times. After some family photo time, Veronica and I spent some time just me, her and baby. I wanted to capture the beauty of the last moments of pregnancy. I was trying to bring out the love and connection of two people in one body. I imagine when you are the one pregnant it is hard to see how pretty and peaceful it looks from the outside… I can’t wait to meet you Baby Parks! Enjoy!

Adam and Marni – Engagment Session

singletracey — Mon, 09 May 2011 15:58:41 +0000

The first shoot of May belonged to Adam and Marni. It was an engagement session. Those are always so romantic and fun. Adam and Marni selected Standford University for the shoot. Standford is where they met and graduated so it obviously has special meaning. It also happens to be a very beautiful location We met in late afternoon and spent a couple of hours wandering around and really having fun. Enjoying the moment and the weather.

Adam and Marni, I am so glad you enjoyed the time during the session. I love it when couples walk away smiling and excited about the session and the proofs to come! Here are a few of the images from the session. I hope you like them! (Hint … you can click on each image to see it more clearly, sometimes with the low resolution proofs its hard to see them clearly)
