Shannon and Aurelio | Flip Salon San Franscico

My Ultra-Chic friend Shannon had a Christmas party and here is a photo she sent me with her cherry husband and co-owner of the infamous Flip Salon in SF! A growing cadre of devoted enthusiasts raves about FLiP's comfortable charm, friendly service and skilled staff. "The salon is beautiful, relaxing and I love the décor!" says one customer. For another, the best part is having that 'fresh-out-of-the-salon look' for weeks. Still another is pleased that, "Shannon always consults with me before mixing to make sure the color is exact for the season, the condition of my hair, and the mood I'm in." Check them out!

Our Christmas Pic!

Well, we haven't quite gotten in good enough shape to want to be in our pic this year, but we're close! Anyways, in the mean time we just took pictures of our kids instead. Anyways, thanks to our Portuguese Catholic family we had plenty of Christmas lights and styrofoam Santas to take pictures with!

Lifestyle Work Part 3

After doing the sand boarding, the surfing, sand castle building and soccer, we got to skateboarding. The session worked pretty well even though it got cut short by some ill positioned clouds that took all our sunlight!

Anyways, enjoy them...

Becky & Troy | Christmas Pics!

Our very good friends Becky & Troy had us shoot a quick session for their Christmas cards this week. The very talented Becky runs the wedding idea blog "she walks in beauty"(a great resource you should definitely take a look at if you are a future bride!) as well as her invitation company Sugar Plum Invitations. Anyways, we just had a few minutes over Troy's lunchtime to make some magic so we cracked out a few shots near his office and got some great stuff!
