Rory ~ Palace of Fine Arts

I almost have no words for the amount of cuteness that is bundled up into this little tot, Rory. She looks like an actual little doll and my goodness, her eyes are stunning! My 4-year-old daughter has been begging me to let her assist me at a photo shoot so this was the perfect opportunity since Rory’s mommy is a dear friend. Little did I know that my daughter would want to be in all the photos with Rory! That said, we captured adorable candids of Rory exploring the outdoors. One of my fav’s is her “deep in thought” moment holding onto the rope.

Family Session

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.

Newborn Session

Welcome, Leo!

It is not often I meet San Francisco natives! Erica and Jaime have family two blocks away and boy, will that come in handy in the coming weeks. Baby Leo is such a good-natured little dude and I found myself cuddling him while we tried to get him back to sleep in between poses. He’s going to be a fantastic Lil’ Giants fan and one day, he will grow into that hat Mom and Dad bought him. Precious!!!

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!

Welcome, Maya!

I cannot stop smiling when looking at sweet Maya. She smiled about a dozen times during our photo shoot and she’s only two weeks old! Her parents are in for a big treat with this happy little one. And I don’t know about you but I’m ready for some holiday cheer and so is Maya. As my grandma would say, she is as cute as a bug’s ear. (I think she’s even cuter than that!)

Newborn Session

Welcome, Kiyomi!

It is a beautiful Labor Day weekend and I had the pleasure of photographing precious newborn, Kiyomi and her family. Big brother, Kenzo greeted me at the door and immediately took me in to show me his trucks and toys. Then, we explored his garden where he showered us with smiles and smothered Kiyomi with kisses. To top off a lovely morning, we captured heart-warming portraits of Kiyomi all snuggled up and cozy. And just look at that adorable smile on her face! Awww…melts my heart!
