san francisco bay area photographer • special friend

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 00:04:49 +0000

Got together with a special photographer friend last night. Angela always graciously entertains my crazy requests to shoot me with my baby girl and I jumped at the chance to return the favor. We were quite the sight trying to stay glamorous while shooting for each other mean while keeping track of two little girls and a baby. A circus indeed but when she posted this for me last night I was blown away and the chaos of the evening was well worth it. I hope she loves at least one of these as much as I loved what she did for me…

My streak of meeting baby boys continues and boy was this guy cute. Only 8 days in and his parents are completely smitten with this little man. It is such a joy to see first time parents so excited and and in love with their new babies…I love this job.

I get to watch them grow right before my eyes…

I think newborn to 3 months is always the most dramatic difference that I see. It is such a miracle that those tiny little beansprouts I get to meet in that early first week of life can just turn into these tiny little people so fast. This sweet family brought their boy over to show him off at 3 months and it was pure joy to capture him. Enjoy!

San Leandro newborn photographer • sleepy guy

This little man was the perfect newborn model today. He was so sleepy I never even saw his eyes. But I did get to swoon over his perfect lips and irresistible cheeks…

And we even got big brother in on the action. He was quite perfect himself for being just shy of two and missing his nap he was nothing short of simply adorable!!!

Thanks for having me over today!

This little guy was wide awake for me when we got started. Although it is usually ideal for babies to be sleepy for a newborn session, it was a treat to get a few shots of his beautiful big blue eyes. This little guy is going to be a heart breaker. A big thank you to his mom and dad for having me over to capture their handsome baby boy.

san jose baby photographer • growing

Remember this little guy, well he is growing like a weed! I couldn’t believe how much he has stretched out his I saw him all brand new 3 months ago. He was so sweet and sleepy the day we met up.

Here he is not too sure about the whole photo shoot thing (the raised eyebrow makes me smile)…

These top 3 frames are all within seconds of each other, he really needed a little power nap and then seemed so content when we let him snuggle up and sleep. Posing a sleeping 3 month old isn’t always this easy.

And finally with the family dog. She wasn’t too sure that first time I was there when he was a newborn but here she is gentle as can be with her baby. I think they are going to be really good friends.

San Jose Senior Photographer • all grown up

Mon, 24 May 2010 07:46:22 +0000

Little change of pace for me this afternoon- not a baby but I’ve known her since she was pretty much a baby so when she asked me to do some casual senior portraits for her I couldn’t say no. I had such fun with a subject that could actually take direction and didn’t run away from me. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE all the babies but this was a fun way to change things up. This might have to be the sneak peek part one. We bounced around to so many great locations I might need to post a few more later this week.

The peppers are not just a random pop of color, nope, they actually have significance. One of the things I remember most about this one from when she was little was that she would always come to class snacking on raw veggies and often it was peppers. Don’t see too many young kids snacking on bell peppers so when I see colorful peppers guess who it reminds me of…

San Jose baby photographer • 9 months old already

Everyone says they grow so fast. With my own children I can attest to that cliche statement but with my baby planners it seems to happen even quicker. It always seems like I just saw them and then here they are 3 months later a little bigger, a little more full of personality and a whole cuter each and every time. I LOVE watching them grow it makes my job so fun and reminds how important it is to capture every inch of them before they change.

And finally the last shot of the evening, we were actually done and I came back to this spot that was just a little too bright when we started and this sweet little guy gave us this…

San Jose newborn photographer • baby girl

Sun, 18 Apr 2010 06:26:05 +0000

I have been meeting so many baby boys lately that it was fun to change it up today with this sweet (but feisty) baby girl. I had been in contact with her mommy for a few months so I was anxiously awaiting today. Here she is as dainty and sweet as any baby girl could ever be…

San Jose baby photographer • they grow too fast

Fri, 16 Apr 2010 07:09:45 +0000

This sweet baby girl is one of my very first baby planners and I can’t believe that she is already past the 9 month mark and moving swiftly through her milestones. It hit me tonight in going through her session images to post this sneak peek just what a pleasure it is to capture a baby in that first year- they change so fast it really does need to be frozen in time in some way. The sweetest part from our meeting tonight was just watching her fascination with simple ordinary things like dirt, gravel and leaves… oh no wait, the best part was probably hearing her babble. (Sigh) I miss that… okay, before I get all sentimental about my own growing too fast here is the sweetheart I got to catch up with this evening…
