Company Picnic at Fort Mason

When I picture a summer picnic, I picture watermelons, ice cream, corn hole, frisbees, and of course SUN. Yes, sun is key to a picnic. However, San Francisco is unique. You see, in the summer SF can be one of the coldest cities in the country; tourists from around the world come here to "cool down" in the summer - that's how uniquely cold we are in the summer.

Yesterday was our company picnic, and it definitely had all the above EXCEPT the sun. In fact, we were so lucky we even got light showers! :-) Shine or no shine, the picnic was so much fun mainly because I got to photograph all the cute little kids. Man, two year-olds are FAST, and to make things worse for me they do not like the camera! Here are a few I managed to get that weren't nearly as bad, but can be a lot better if I had a better lens (like a super zoom L lens!). That way I wouldn't have to scare them away with the camera! Some are shot with my point and shoot and some with the SLR. You can probably tell the difference by now. :-)

Beautiful Bella

Micah the heart breaker. Which processing do you like better? I'm still adjusting!

Stay tuned for Brian's and Jessica's wedding from this past weekend. It was definitely not your typical wedding, and I loved everything about it!

  1. great job! they have a humble "full house" effect to them! maybe it's the just backgrounds haha :P

    The pics of bella came out amazing! I like the first pic of Micah better, but the second looks like something his parents would purchase and put above their piano. The other shot of him makes him look like Will Smith's kid. Great job! Looks like it was a lot of fun!

  3. Love the angles that you took with these pictures. I love the post processing of Micah's first picture and the bar running across gives it a little depth and a frame. :)

  4. I know Andrew and I aren't as cute as these kids - but these are amazing and I'll be happy if ours turn out even half as good!

  5. Beautiful memories Connie! These images are so striking and remain timeless!!! Thank You for the tips Christopher Sithi! I am Micah's dad and even now he's getting the Jaden Smith comparison to the point he has gotten tired of hearing it from friends and family near and far! Many Thanks Connie! Best to you, Mark and Colin Bear!
