Cuz Club Grand Opening!

Bowerbird Photography August 30, 2013

The Cuz Club is officially open for endless hours of fun, and we were lucky enough to be there to photograph the grand opening events in San Rafael :) This is truly the greatest club house we have ever seen, designed and built by Grandma + Grandpa Genet (a.k.a. the world's most fabulous grandparents!), for all their beautiful grandchildren. Enjoy a sneak peek into some family summertime bliss!

It's hard to describe how completely smitten Camille + Tai are with their new baby Rose. She is perfection in their eyes. Doesn't her smile just melt your heart? We hope you enjoy this sneak peek from our adorable family photo session in the Berkeley hills.

San Francisco Couples Photography Session with Dog: Alex + Matt

Bowerbird Photography February 27, 2013

We met with Alex last week at Dolores Park, an amazing event planner, in San Francisco to take professional headshots for him. However, when his partner, Matt, and his dog, Houdini came along, we knew we just had to take some photos of them all together. So much love! Get ready for some ridiculously adorable photos :)

San Francisco Family Photography Session: At the Park

Bowerbird Photography January 23, 2013

We met Phoebe a few days before Thanksgiving, in her warm, sunny San Francisco kitchen. Phoebe is a personal chef and cooking instructor at the Studio of Good Living and we documented one of her holiday cooking classes for an article for the San Francisco Bay Guardian (which you can read here). Phoebe's sweet personality speaks through the mouthwatering food she cooks, and it was easy to feel an instant connection with her. At the end of the class, she asked if we could take some family photos in the new year, and soon after, we met her beautiful family for a park day at the Aptos playground in San Francisco. Even though the clouds stretched across the horizon for a wintry cool day, we stayed plenty warm, playing on the swings, monkey bars and the slides. Sam, for one, will readily admit that he worked up a sweat keeping up with the two little runners. We are also excited for when baby three comes along, and to document when four becomes five. We're ready to lace up our track shoes :) We hope you enjoy these photographs, showcasing the happy, loving spirit of this family as they play together in the park.

San Francisco Family Photography Session: Baby DJ

Bowerbird Photography January 9, 2013

We've waited until after the holidays to share some of the winter's photo sessions on our blog, since so many of our clients use the images for their holiday cards. We're excited to post some photos from our family photo session in Golden Gate Park last month, with baby DJ, winner of the most adorable smile! There were a lot of photos taken that afternoon, between breaks of crackers snacks, but this set is our favorite because it captures DJ in so many moments of fun and silliness!
