It seems I always have to apologise for my backlog of galleries – now hovering around the 50 mark – but I thought I’d better get something out for the holidays.

I’ll start off with a Christmas party at a local nightclub, Rouge. You’ll notice that you’re now able to order prints and run slideshows from this and some other galleries; just some thing I’m integrating with the site.

I street cast my models and once every three to six months, I come across someone as astonishingly beautiful as Anna, and fortunately she was kind enough to do a shoot with me.

Burning Man’s San Francisco after party, Decompression, was as fun as ever.

There really is a place called Treasure Island in San Francisco bay, and I shot Vero and Chris’s Mexican/American wedding there last weekend. Good times, and knee deep in adorable kids.

Anapaula was one of the most pregnant women I’ve met, let alone photographed and I hope to do another shoot as soon after her and John’s son makes his appearance any day now.

Rebecca and Justin are yet more friends of Linda and Jeff whose wedding I’ve covered. (Chris was at their Yosemite wedding last year.) A relaxed, fun day with lots of beautiful people made my work a joy.

Baby Loves Disco is a wildly successful phenomenon where parents bring their babies and toddlers to nightclubs all over the country for an afternoon of fun. You can almost hear foreheads being slapped across the world as people realise they should have thought of it first. It’s also absurdly easy to photograph happy kids.

Although it’s not as big as the Berlin original, San Francisco’s Love Parade is getting bigger and better each year.

Finally, I’ve photographed one of my favorite models at least five times, so I updated Rocio’s gallery tonight. Besides, I’m shooting her sister’s wedding in Mexico in a couple of days. Stay tuned . . .
