Will & Maisie ~ Baker Beach

November 30, 2013January 3, 2014 Leslie Mills Moments

Grandma Florence called me in the summer to plan a family portrait over Thanksgiving weekend after seeing some of my photos from Baker Beach. Florence had such a endearing personal story about crossing the Golden Gate Bridge when she was a girl and it just made our photo shoot all that much more special. We had a lot of fun during our shoot and I just love when adults get silly (note the family of four laying on each other). Best of all, Maisie and Will are too cute together. Look at that snuggle- priceless!

I have a special place in my heart for these adorable siblings, Giovanna and Dante. I’ve known them since Giovanna was a teeny tot and it’s a pleasure to watch these kiddos grow up. And I am in love with how Giovanna shows her love and affection for her family in each and every photo.

Family Session

Brooks, Teddy & George ~ Baker Beach

November 23, 2013January 2, 2014 Leslie Mills Moments

What started out as an annual family photo session with a lovely family turned into a National Geographic’s special. We had a pod of dolphins swimming by right off the shore and we ended our shoot with a gorgeous crab which, Baby George wanted to hold and did not understand why we wouldn’t let him. 🙂

I can’t get over how much these boys have grown in a year but also, how much their little personalities have come out and how loving they are to each other. Teddy and Brooks walking down to the water together, wrestling, and just having fun. It’s a blast to see them play and just have fun.

Emi’s joy bubbled over during our photo shoot. She danced, explored and snuggled her parents while smiling the entire time. Such a doll!

What a beautiful afternoon for a sunset family photo shoot at Baker Beach! It has been such a pleasure to get to know this wonderful family and call them friends. Benton showered me with smiles during our entire shoot and if I did not have to take the photos, I would be covering him with hugs.

Santa Jackie ~ Crissy Field

Okay, I am completely serious that I considered making Jackie the cover of my holiday card. She is such a doll and I just love how she got into the sand and enjoyed digging around. Next up is our one-year birthday cake smash in January. Yay!

Maddie & Evie ~ Presidio

This family is so near and dear to my heart. I’ve known them since Maddie was five weeks old and I truly feel like they are an extension of my own family. I love watching these girls grow up together and become closer each day. I can only hope my own daughter has such a strong bond with her own sibling one day.

Riley & Chase ~ Baker Beach

I may be a bit bias since I’ve known these kiddos for a while now but how adorable are they?!? You can feel Riley’s happiness while she played at the beach. And Chase has grown so much since our newborn photo shoot! He has such an endearing personality now and is a sweet little toddler. Goodness, they grow too fast. Love these little ones and I look forward to watching them grow in the years to come.

Dylan + Alexander ~ Palace of Fine Arts

Beautiful weather and two handsome little guys. What a treat for me to photograph brothers, Dylan and Alexander. I photographed Alex when he was only a few weeks old and can’t believe not only how much he’s grown but what a sweet personality he has for such a little guy. Adorable! And Dylan is always a blast to photograph. He’s such a cutie and I love watching him play with his lil’ brother. Sweet siblings. LOVE!
