They bonded over Mexican food, skiing and trying out new coffee shops. Tim introduced Kendra to hiking and now they love exploring with their fur puppy child whenever they can. It seemed only fitting that we go for a hike at Discovery Park for their engagement session and that summer golden light did not disappoint!
Thanks Kendra & Tim! What a blast it was working with you two. Your wedding day is going to be amazing! ~Marissa & Erik

Loved watching this little girl grow from newborn to 1! Cannot believe it’s been a whole year since we did her newborn session. Our little girl Lyla was born right before so the newborn session was full of chats about not getting sleep and all the feedings. It’s hard to believe both are one!
Summertime always feels like the perfect time to have a shoot at the beach. The playfulness of this family and how much they love each other is so obvious in these photos. What a fun morning!
Beth & Matt- Thanks for letting me capture your family again! It’s always a pleasure seeing your family. ~Marissa
1 week…
…to 1 year!
What a difference a year makes! This time last year little Kai was just snuggled up, sleepy and freshly out in the world. Now he’s got a sweet personality, some strong opinions (as all toddlers must) and is learning something new constantly. His parents love him more each day and we can see why!
Thank you Sommer & David for letting us be part of your journey with Kai, from bump to baby to a big one year old. He is one special little guy and so lucky to have you two guiding him in life! ~Marissa
We first met Cheyen & Michael for their engagement session and then their wedding in 2015. The theme in all of their sessions has been the waterfront so it seemed only fitting to meet on the beach as they are about to enter into their next adventure together: parenthood.
This soon to be mother glowed during their maternity session while her husband supported each slippery, rocky step and kissed her cheeks. The wind swept her hair (much to my happiness) and we talked about how it’s been to be pregnant during this crazy time of our lives. Ever the positive person, Cheyen was all smiles as she talked about isolating, working from home, rescheduling baby showers, and hoping for a smooth delivery.
Even during a pandemic life will move forward, babies will be born. Check out their cute hair baby at the end!
Thank you for letting us document this final moment in time of just the two of you plus your newborn session. Loved meeting your baby boy, he has the best hair! ~Marissa
This family is near and dear to our hearts. Capturing them from an engaged couple to a family of 4 has been such an honor. How sweet that we got to play in the sand to celebrate their littlest turning 1!
We always tell our families with young ones that there will be a ton of candids, it’s just the way toddlers are made! Motion and playing is what they’re all about and we love capturing their true nature. This session was full of playful energy from jumps and dancing to running and twirling. Lots of snuggles were caught in the between moments and there were sandy toes galore (plus sandy hands, faces and even sand in the mouth at the end!). We’d like to add that a windswept hair and flowing dress is one of our favorite things.
Thanks Dana & Josh, we love your family. What a great session with two official toddlers! ~Marissa & Erik
