Leslie Mills is a portrait photographer specializing in families, newborns, corporate head shots and high school seniors in the bay area. She captures those precious moments, when a family is laughing together or when a child hugs a parent, a moment that should be cherished for a lifetime.
The siblings enjoyed a lovely Christmas in San Francisco and took in a ton of local attractions- riding across the Golden Gate Bridge, taking a ferry to Alcatraz, ice skating in Union Square- they’ve done more in two weeks than I have in my entire decade in San Francisco! (Note to self: venture outside my usual fav spots) They really hammed it up during our sibling shoot and it was such a blast.
I had the pleasure of holding Xuyen’s maternity photo shoot at Baker Beach and now, I finally meet the little guy! Zachary is all smiles for Mom and Dad and is such a happy baby. What a special first Christmas for sweet Zachary.
One toddler, newborn twin babies, and a doggie. That’s the epitome of chaos, yet Mom and Dad manage everything like it’s no big deal. Feed one, change one, play with big brother Henry. Why did I ever think having one newborn was challenging?
Henry and I had a blast playing with his toys, rolling around on my fur throw and snapping a few pics here and there. Sam and Betsy had no idea they were a part of family photo shoot and slept right through it. Perfect!
It was another chilly morning in San Francisco but a beautiful morning for a family photo shoot at the Palace of Fine Arts. Danielle is such a sweet little toddler and loved exploring all the nooks and crannies at the POFA. I just love her gorgeous curls and precious smile and she just makes me smile.
Since Jack’s newborn photo shoot, he’s grown just a tad. 🙂 Elise was an outgoing chatty two-year-old so nothing has changed much there. And these kiddos are gorgeous not to mention their parents! I love photographing this family (and auntie) for their holiday card fun (note the overalls).
Picture this- 40 degrees, strong bitter cold winds and no sun. This was the coldest weather we’ve had in San Francisco yet and the boys were such troopers. They have such a genuine happiness and joy that you can feel when you are around them. Big brother, Aidan’s smile is infectious and he just melts my heart.
I love love love Mom’s idea for a family photo shoot. Liam is a big fan of the movie, “Up” so Mom brought balloons to our photo shoot. Although Liam is a little shy of cameras, he shares so many smiles with us off-camera. 🙂
I know I say I’m in love with my little peanuts and snuggle bugs but it’s true and Grace is no exception. She was an absolute doll and such a little sweetheart during our photo shoot. Those precious little fingers and toes. We want to remember how little they once were before they start crawling and running all over the place. Congrats, Mom and Dad! You are blessed with a little sweet pea!
What a handsome trio of boys and even more important, they are such polite kiddos. Nico and Lucas are so loving with their little brother, Mario and it’s endearing to watch them together. Here’s to a wonderful holiday season and new year for a wonderful family!
Hayden aka Hattie Bear, is all of nine weeks old but oh my goodness, he has the neck strength of a three month old baby! I don’t know where to start- his awesome hair, those cherub lips or his adorable chubby arms and legs. Hayden was such a pleasure to photograph and he has so much personality already. I can’t wait to watch him grow over the next year. Congrats, Mom and Dad on your handsome baby boy!
