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.
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!
What do you do when a dear friend moves to Seattle? Drag them back to San Francisco for a family photo shoot! I love how I remind Tracy that it will be a chilly San Francisco morning the day of our shoot and she laughs and explains to me that San Franciscans don’t know what chilly is until they’ve been to Seattle in the Fall/Winter. LOL
It was such a pleasure to meet Rocket, Cruz and their parents. Although it was a chilly morning, we ventured out to Aquatic Park and their rooftop deck for a few quick pics in between our adorable newborn portraits. Cruz was an absolute doll and let me photograph him as much as I like. It was such a fun morning! I can’t wait to watch how Rocket and Cruz grow up together and build that brotherly bond.
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.
I can confidently say that I’ve never met a 5-month-old who smiles more than Lucas. As he cruised up in his ride (stroller), he was all smiles and they just kept coming throughout our photo shoot. And Kate is just an absolute sweetheart. I loved photographing this family and it just melts my heart to see siblings who are so loving towards each other.
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.
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.
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!
One year ago, I had the pleasure of capturing newborn portraits of Henry. I can’t believe a year has flown by and this little guy is a full-fledged toddler now! Those handsome eyes and sweet smile- I just want to squeeze him with cuddles. Happy birthday, Henry!
