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!!!
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!
This is the first time I met Clara and she is just a sweet little peanut. Even a cold did not keep her from having fun in the Presidio with Mommy and sharing her smiles with us. The best was watching her reaction to a video of herself. She was just amazed by it and smiled ear-to-ear. So cute! Happy 1st birthday, dear Clara!
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!)
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!
Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, balloons, face painting, and a children’s dream play center…all the ingredients to a perfect princess birthday party!!! Princess Lucy was a perfect host to her fellow princes and princesses. It was such a pleasure to photograph her 4th birthday and capture the sheer joy on her face all throughout her party. Happy birthday, sweet Lucy. xoxo
I am so excited to share a recent photo shoot with my dear friends, Jillian and Rob. I met them when Ella was just 18 months old and look at her- gorgeous!!! So happy we captured so many beautiful photos of the family and even some with Grandma.
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!
What an honor it was to be asked to photograph Aaron and Veronica’s wedding. Not only was it a fun-filled evening, it was a Pinterest-perfect event as well. Veronica is the most prepared and well-planned bride I’ve met and chalk it up to planning dozens of weddings and events herself! Congratulations to a beautiful happy couple!
Sweet baby Zach and big brother, Alex were such a joy to photograph. Alex showed me around his local playground which even has a real wall to rock-climb! He is such an adorable little guy and he really started to open up the more we explored the park. Then, we headed home to let Zach snuggle up in a basket for a quick snooze-fest. I’ve got to say, I just love that I get to meet great families like this one and capture a few precious moments of such a special time in their lives.
