Baby N arrived a bit late past her due date but she entered this world with beauty and the face of a wise old soul.
I must have said something to make her giggle so much. Every look she gave me was as if she had the grin of a Cheshire cat. Pretty funny for only 7 days old.
I am always appreciative and happy when a previous client contacts me for a new session. A few years back I photographed their baby daughter and now they have a newborn son to add to the family. Baby K was a complete sweetheart.
Four generations of family. How wonderful it must feel to be a great-grandparent and see your grandchild having children!
Of course it wouldn’t be a blog post without adding sweet Ellie the Dalmatian into the spotlight! Thanks O Family, as always I loved photographing you all.
The San Francisco Bay Area is a huge place when it comes to capturing newborn infant photography. A little geographical distance won’t stop me from coming to photograph your newborn baby, however. I have photographed newborns in the North Bay, South Bay, East Bay, Peninsula, Silicon Valley, San Ramon Valley, Diablo Valley–all sprawled out and complicated with freeways, bridges and water in between. This session was in the East Bay–Piedmont, which is in the scenic Oakland Hills. There’s a quaint little downtown area as well as the beautiful Piedmont Park where I have done family photography sessions in the past. This session was at the home of Baby A. He was just over a week old and very easy to work with. He had his mommy’s sweet disposition and you could already tell his daddy had plans for this future Red Sox player.
It looks like he’s saying “Go Redsox!” They have a fun print in his room from Fenway Park that gives it a different take as far as baseball themes go.
A’s mom has some wonderful handmade quilts that were gifts. That is something they can treasure forever.
Thank you for having me in your home!
Good bye 2009! Don’t let the door hit you on the behind as you leave! I think 2010 is going to be a great year and a new start for many of us. I welcome the new decade with open arms. I have been quite busy since Thanksgiving and neglected my blogs. One of my favorite sessions in December was this adorable little baby boy from San Rafael. He has a classic name from literature that I love.
This San Francisco family invited me to the city to capture them in their comfortable, beautiful home. Awesome people with 2 adorable young sons. Sneak peak for them. Thanks for having me!
Doesn’t little R look like he’s a wise old soul? At 4 months of age he is taking it all in.
After jumping up and down on mom and dad’s bed D paused for a quick rest.
Almost three years ago I photographed these twin boys when they were just days old. Now they have a new baby brother that I photographed today and will be showing a sneak peak soon. Just wanted to show how twins have a connection from the day they are born throughout the rest of their lives. Can you see it then and now?
This was their Mother’s Day present to their mom they told me. Sitting together, posing and surprising her with a new portrait.
Today I stopped off in Burlingame to photograph baby K. Less than 2 years ago I photographed her big brother J and it was such a pleasure to see how he has grown into a sweet little boy with a new baby sister. One for now. She was the happiest little newborn I have come across in a long time.
I wanted to send a sneak peak to the parents of these darling siblings. I photographed H last year and baby sister C just arrived to make their family complete. Very pretty and extremely alert. She seemed to enjoy when I spoke to her and stared at me for long periods of time. I always have fun shooting on location in San Francisco! Congrats and thank you for having me in your home! Just one for now. More to come.
Yesterday (well now it’s more than yesterday since it’s the early morning hours right now) I traveled to San Francisco to photograph a family and their beloved toy poodle. The mom and dad are proud parents of a 7 month old baby boy, S. This little guy has the biggest brown eyes and happiest face you would ever want to meet. I promised a few sneak peaks before I get swamped this week. First we have Mr. Adorable…
Mom and Dad are crazy about their son.
One of the whole family. It was a challenge to get Toby the dog sitting pretty with baby S. While I managed to get Toby’s attention, S. thought his hand tasted pretty good.
It was Fleet Week in the City. Loud planes rumbling back and forth. My clients were only a short walk away from Alamo Square and we thought it would be fun to capture some shots of the Painted Ladies while watching the Blue Angels buzz by near us. Unfortunately S. fell asleep on the way up to the park, so Toby decided to strut his stuff and pose.
Thank you B. Family for the nice time together. I always love a beautiful day in San Francisco.
Apparently I am getting more and more of the combination together which I enjoy. We just returned from Southern California for a little downtime after the “termination” of my IT career. Sara Evans was playing at the Ventura County fair and my husband is a huge fan. Me, not so much but I admit she’s a good singer. We also stopped off in Camarillo to grab a few shots of this little miracle girl and her siblings. I hope her parents don’t mind me sharing the story with you–well actually Dad gave me permission (but I was hoping Mom would speak up.) 
I just want to say that it’s never too late to have the family you always dreamed of having. No matter how your child comes to you, the opportunity to parent a child is by far one of the most rewarding lifetime experiences. S and R tried for many years to conceive a child on their own and finally adopted their first child, a boy. M came along and guess what happened one month later? R found out she was pregnant! At the age of 40 she delivered a brother to 10 month old M.
It gets even better! We received a call a few months ago that a happy surprise was coming. R was expecting another child–a girl–at 45. Congrats to the family and to her big brothers M and M. Ha ha…sounds like a candy plug doesn’t it?
By the way, Maggie is the new family dog. Sweet addition to an already full house!
