I had the pleasure of taking Beth & Joe’s maternity portraits recently and these are my favorites from the session. She brought a couple new ideas to my attention including the tying of the ribbon around her belly and also adding the blocks. She also had some great ideas we didn’t get a chance to use but that I will be doing in the future like having the babies shoes or an ultrasound picture included in the session. Anyways, we had a lot of fun. Enjoy!

I just was chosen for the cover of the new Professional Photographers of the Greater Bay Area (www.ppgba.org) bulletin.
Which reminds me, I forgot to post that I got another wedding wedding photograph of the month winning image with “Wet Kiss” as seen in the bulletin (same as the swimming pool image from the last post).
I’m really excited, that makes 3 out of 4 I entered this year in the wedding category… And I just entered them all in the year end competition, so wish me luck!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannuka, and Happy New Years to everyone!

I’ve been working on a couple of select new images and thought that it would be fun to share them. The first one was photographed at Debra & Andrew’s wedding at Seascape Resort in Aptos. After the wedding reception we had them jump in the pool
I love this photograph!!! we’re blowing it up almost life size for studio display! The second image is from Megan & Kirk’s wedding at Costanoa along highway 1. We took a short hike for some amazing scenic portraits and this is one of my favorites.
Enjoy!

Marilyn & Gary were wed at the beautiful St. Leanders Church in San Leandro and had their reception at the fabulous Dolce Hayes Mansion in San Jose! Can I just say I love my couples! These two were so much fun to work with and their wedding was a blast! Enjoy the show and please leave comments

Beth & Mike had a beautiful wedding at Elliston winery in Sunol, California. They were so much fun to photograph and the whole day just went perfectly. Even when the officiant forgot to have them exchange the rings! Another priceless memory… So here’s our second slideshow giving you a taste of what we’ve been up to in 2008!
Enjoy!

It continues to be super busy here at Mischa Photography… So we’ve been looking for something new we could do to show off some of our recent weddings and give a better taste of our photojournalistic coverage as well as the artistic images I love. So this is our first attempt, we love feedback, so please let us know if you like this and would like to see more.
This is from the wedding of Dawn & Kevin at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga. It was a beautiful wedding on a stunning day with a gorgeous couple in love, what more could one ask for.
Enjoy!

I entered another print in competition this month at the Professional Photographers of the Greater Bay Area where I have the honor of serving on the board of directors. And guess what! Ok so it already said it in the post title… I got print of the month in the wedding category!!!! So without further ado, here’s the image:

“Romance Under Light” taken at Ruby Hills Golf Club on August 3rd at the beautiful wedding of Lyndsey & Dan
There were just a couple of critiques of the image which have actually been fixed already on this version… except, I need a new title! So if you have any title suggestions, I’m all ears. I’d like to send this print in to the national competitions and a better title would go a long way! Thanks for all your support!

Well it’s been a very exciting and super busy last couple of months!!!
Among other things I went to France to photograph a wedding for Tatiana & Bill which was absolutely amazing! I promise to post some photos soon! Afterwards I got to take a much needed vacation and ended up on a roadtrip from Belgium to Sweden and back with a side trip to Berlin. There are so many stories to tell I don’t know where to start, but feel free to ask
Now I’m back in the thick of things having photographed 4 weddings over the last 9 days! And wow, each and every one of them was just amazing! I feel really lucky to have so many wonderful clients this year!
I’d also like to take a moment to welcome Diana Marie who is the latest member of the Mischa Photography team. She’s taking over much of the office work, so I have more time to create art!
Time permitting, I’ll be uploading photos from all of these great weddings in the next week or two, but in the meantime here’s a self portrait I took in Paris. This is not a Photoshopped image. It really is blue and will be for the next 6 months.
