Modern Fine Art Portraits in the San Francisco Bay Area - Anna Myers Photography Blog

East Bay Dog Portraits : View Photos from the East Bay SPCA Puparazzi Portraits Event with Anna Myers

Well it took me a while to edit down the hundreds of images that I took the day of the event, but I finally got them edited, sorted and uploaded for all to see and vote on. I have to admit that these dogs had me laughing as I edited away because they are such characters! 

The online event can be found here: Puparazzi Portraits with Anna Myers

You can view and vote for dogs in the contests to help choose Best Dressed Dog, Favorite Small Dog and more. Winners of the contest will be featured on the East Bay SPCA website, and the TOP DOG will grace the cover of the next SPCA Newsletter :)

Here are a few of my personal favorites for the blog...

   

Bay Area Senior Portrait Photographer : Castro Valley Senior Portraits with a Horse

I have had some very fun assignments lately - and fortunately had a moment to blog about today's photographic adventure.  This morning I met Jess at her stable in Castro Valley for her Senior Portraits - which just had to include her horse Mariah. I was game - I love animals, and always strive to incorporate elements of peoples lives to create modern, cool senior portraits that capture who they really are. I am still editing this session but wanted to throw a few up here that caught my eye.

Now on to finish editing and uploading my Puparazzi Portraits for the East Bay SPCA - 20 dogs!

Bay Area Fine Art Maternity Photographer - With Golden Child

I have not blogged in a while about maternity sessions - which is odd since I do so many of them. I love photographing pregnant women when they are nice and curvy - around 34 to 35 weeks.  A week before the session we meet to consult about the style of images they are looking. In the session I strive to create different moods using studio lighting.  I encourage women to incorporate fabrics or items that are significant to them into the session - sheer fabrics with some kind of iridescence work best. Sometimes it is a wedding veil, or just some beautiful fabric. Today, Lelma brought in some gorgeous fabrics that she got at a Sari shop and we created some beautiful images of her with the fabrics, which we will then follow up after the baby is born with the newborn wrapped in the same fabrics.

Here is one of my favorites from today - "with Golden Child"...
