Jennifer | San-Francisco Bay Area | Berkeley Portrait Photography

We had this mini-photo-session with Jennifer on UC Berkeley campus …. in September - oh-my-I’m-so-behind-on-blogging.
And I’m sharing picture on my blog only now.

Jennifer is a talented Landscape Architect – check her website here – de Graaf Design Associates - Landscape Architecture and Garden Design

She is cheerful and artistic (we took watercolor class together, so I know it for a fact :))
She is just great to be around, to talk to, discuss anything and everything.
And laugh.
Laugh a lot.

Thank You Jennifer for letting me to take pictures!

Merry Christmas!

Mimi & AleYo | San-Francisco Anniversary Photography

HalinaV — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 08:32:53 +0000

It is always fun to catch up with your friends (Mimi), meet new people (her husband AleYo), enjoy weather in fabulous San-Francisco on a warm day and of course take pictures :))
Wedding anniversary photos are fun (and they can also be a great present ;)). It’s like having an engagement photo session, but not before the wedding – a year after :))

Mimi and AleYo are such a fun and outgoing people! They are really open to anything (a lot of walking and modeling with the crowds watching :)) and they are just simply in love! :)) awwwww! :)

Anton – at Albany Bulb (Berkeley) | SF Bay Area Portrait Photography

HalinaV — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 03:18:44 +0000

I was keeping images from the photoshoot with Anton on my hard drive long enough. Even though one of the images from that photosession is featured in the banner of this blog and I have quite a few in the galleries, I’ve never put together a blog post with all of the other photos. Until now :)

I’ve never been to that part of Berkeley / Albany before, but it’s definitely a great spot to hang out and photograph if you want a nature + grungy look. Where is it? There is apparently a name for this place – “the Bulb”. Filled with man made sculptures, graffiti, scrap and a little weirdness – all that gives a real Berkeley look. Plus the view of the San-Francisco Bay… so much fun. Especially when your client=subject=model is easygoing and willing to try different things.
