Jessica, Simon + Isaac: San Francisco Family Photo Session at the Botanical Gardens in Golden Gate Park

Bowerbird Photography April 23, 2014

If baby Isaac ever wondered what his parents do when he is sleeping, years from now he will be able to look back at photo albums from our fun-filled photography session in Golden Gate Park's Botanical Gardens for proof. With Baby snug in his buggy, Mom and Dad scampered off for a kiss in a giant bush of purple flowers! So romantic. Yet, with the twittering of birds all around and the quack-quack of ducks (we all took turns at our best bird calls) Isaac slowly stirred awake. And what fun we had! Jessica entertained us by blowing bubbles by the lake, we chased Isaac chasing Canadian Geese by the lake's edge, we plopped down on the grass for a game of "1-2-3 Blast Off" where we threw fuzzy balls at each other, and then paused to greet a squirrel who came to join the party. We shared so many laughs that the nibble of cold from the S.F. fog rolling in was barely noticeable.

What a gorgeous, loving family! Enjoy a selection of our fave pics from their family photography session.

Thanksgiving at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay

Bowerbird Photography December 5, 2013

Thanksgiving day was gorgeous. It was sunny and warm and we felt so happy to be able to spend part of the holiday with the Genet family at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay!

There was delicious food, art projects, a menorah lighting and singing, and also a fun kids project, where each kiddo got "cash" and could pick out which farm animal they were going to buy for a family in need through the non-profit, Heifer. What a great learning and giving experience for all these little ones :)

Cheryl's family gatherings are always filled with beautiful details, like custom backpacks for the grandkids and lovely floral centerpieces by De Young Flowers. We just had to share some holiday joy and these photos are brimming with it! Enjoy!

Family Brunch in San Rafael

Bowerbird Photography September 13, 2013

On the same morning as the grand opening of the Cuz Club, the Genet's also hosted a beautiful brunch for their family. There were gorgeous flowers, signature drinks (created just for the event) and a crepe station. It was a very elegant and delicious gathering :)
