But if you are, here's a preview of what's to come! Brenna and Andrew thank you so much for allowing my team and I to be a part of your very special day-- it was absolutely lovely and I cried twice! Your mother did a fantastic job on both yours and her dress and your bridesmaid's dresses complemented your theme beautifully. Enjoy your honeymoon!
Dane is approaching his first year and what a lucky boy he is to be so loved! His mom being the clever stylist, saw to it that all three of them were dressed in their black Converse sneakers. Dane wasn't too crazy about the idea but we snapped a few and someday they can look back and chuckle.

Here is a preview of today's engagement portrait session. We had a lovely morning session in the Berkeley Rose Garden. Brenna and Andrew told me once we wrapped things up that they were heading over to the Grand Lake Theater to buy tickets for the highly anticipated premiere showing of Harry Potter. The Grand Lake being both my husband and my favorite landmarks in Oakland (we always attend their matinees) is a special place. My husband remembers seeing ET and Star Wars there with his father as a child. Well, seeing as Brenna is also an Oakland native, I knew that I had to get some shots of them outside with the marquee and peeling paint the the Grand Lake is locally famous for. I have a feeling that years from now when their grandchildren are looking at that photo, Harry Potter will be as classic to them as Breakfast at Tiffany's was for me. Enjoy this sneak peek and thank you for a beautiful morning- there's nothing like love and roses.

I fell in love with California before even stepping foot on this coast. In college I'd spend endless hours looking at our extensive Photo Library. We even had a collection of original prints as well and we were required to wear archival-safe gloves for handling them. I loved the work of Minor White and Ansel Adams. I loved the thousand tones between black and white that they were able to exhibit in one black and white print. I was never much of a landscape photographer and now that I no longer shoot in large format, I'm even less compelled. Still I love to photograph people and pairing my subjects with the perfect landscape as a backdrop is just as enjoyable as taking the photo itself. Here are some photos of some of my favorite little men. Each is just shy of 15 months and they're the most courageous explorers. No doubt they touched the coldest water that their soft skin has ever felt today. The Pacific is one frigid ocean. Cold, yet, beautiful. Enjoy!
Happy New Year everyone! We have some big plans for this new year. For starters, in lieu of our ailing economy Photography By Kemmeo has modified pricing. Our wedding Package A, dubbed the “Economic Stimulus Package” will be available through December 2010. We are eliminating a couple of “perks” and bringing it down to $1800 for all of our thrifty or rather, “pinched”, brides and grooms. Packages B and C will remain the same. In addition, our standard portrait commissions will now start at $250 for a 1-2 hour session (plus travel). So if you are seeking that Valentine's boudoir session, 1st year photo, or an engagement session, let's get you penciled in toute de suite!
