We recently had a chance to photograph an amazing birthday party at the Four Seasons hotel in San Francisco. The dazzling details at this evening event left us speechless. The jungle theme included wild animal tapestries, centerpieces with parrots, giraffes on the placement cards table, and much more. It was a thrill to take photos of this amazing celebration.

Here are some of the stunning details:

The decorations and coordination of this event was done by one of our favorite wedding and event coordinators, Nelya of Amazing Flowers and Events.

Yesterday we had a wonderful portrait session with our friends Ksusha and Vova. We thoroughly explored the insides of City Hall, taking pictures in every possible corner, staircase and even in the elevator! :) We are going to post many more pictures soon, but here’s a sneak peek for now:

Thanks soooo much for all the fun guys! More photos to come soon…

It became a tradition for me to take pictures of my friend’s son Vadim just before the holidays. After last year’s session I remember being pretty exhausted as it can be really hard to take pictures of toddlers. Little did I know!

As challenging as it is to take pictures of a 1.5 year-old, it’s close to impossible to take pictures of 2.5 year-olds! Vadim was extremely interested in my camera and wanted nothing to do with all the toys his mom was offering to him as distractions. He wanted to have my camera!! I had to hide it behind my back in between the shots, but every time I’d get it out he would run towards me trying to grab a hold of it :)

Here are a few fun favorites:

And here’s last years session. I’m hoping next year will be easier! :)
