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!

Pierce & Rhys ~ Palace of Fine Arts
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
Welcome, Cruz!
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.
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.
Kate & Lucas ~ Palace of Fine Arts
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.
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!!!
Sweet Little Clara ~ Presidio
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!
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!)
Happy Birthday, Henry!
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!
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!
