  • You tell me… (contest below)

    I often get asked, “What is the difference between film and digital.” So I have a series of descriptive words that I use to try and convey why I love film so much. But it is hard… so I need help. I’d love for you tell me what you think the difference is. So… this…

  • Leslie and Sophia… and Andy Warhol

    Last week I got this email: Good afternoon Paige, I recently moved to the city with my 3 year old daughter and we would like to capture our love for life, SF and each other. We live near Baker Beach and spend hours there each week so the sand, ocean and bridge are symbols of…

  • It’s All About the Family…

    Last week I received this email: I am looking for someone to take photos of my extended family (13 people ages 3 mos-75 yrs) in Bolinas. We are renting a house there for the weekend for my mom’s birthday. I think we would want some photos of everyone and some of the four nuclear families…

  • Almost a Toddler…

    Any day now this little one will be up and running… But for now… she is still a cute little baby for just a little while longer. Thank you for playing, Miss Noa. It was a pleasure to meet you today.

  • Somedays it is hard to believe that things will ever be different, but someday we will need to remember…

  • This is film (and my summer)…

    I love film and I love summer. And I couldn’t live without either one. Well, maybe I could. But life would be a lot less interesting and a lot less fun. The only problem is that they are both so very time-consuming. This summer was so busy that it seemed not to exist at all.…

  • Four Hands (always) Full…

    …with one very delightful two year old… ….and two teeny tiny two month old twins… …makes for two super sleepy parents. But it also makes for one awesome photo shoot. I had so much fun photographing the continuous baby juggling and I hope to get to come back again when the twins are a little…

  • Love is the only thing that matters…

    Dora and Emily got married on July 19th, 2009 in front of all of their friends and family at the Brazil Room in Berkeley. By choosing to get married, Dora’s two children, and Emily’s one child, now have two moms. I have photographed a lot of weddings, but this was the most amazing wedding I…

  • Get out there and have fun this weekend…

  • Photographing The Symphony…

    This is my talented photographer friend, Jessamyn, and her one month old, Symphony. The hard part about being a photographer, is that you are never in any photographs. Jessamyn can, and will, take thousands of amazing photos of her new little human. But what she can’t do is photograph herself with her new little amazing…
