Happy Mothers’ Day

I just want to wish all the moms out there a special day. We are all moms to someone, whether it be children or animals.

My day started out sleeping in late. I have been on a whirlwind schedule with my friends who visited me last week and I am recovering today. Just in time to fire up the grill and make a delicious dinner for my inlaws and family. My own mom is down in Southern California, relaxing today but we will celebrate when she visits us in a few weeks.

I want to thank all my client moms for being part of Pam Biasotti photography. I have enjoyed capturing your treasured babies, children and family and look forward to continuing to be your photographer for LIFE. Have a great day!


Scenic Mount Diablo-Family photographer Pam Biasotti

Last week I traveled to Clayton to photograph Mr. and Mrs. R. Beautiful property with a delightful view of Mount Diablo. They were so warm, friendly and fun. They also have a gorgeous Golden Retriever (Big big brownie points with me!) that looks a lot like my boy, Riley. We trekked around the property with the dog and I regret making her go in the spots we chose. Mrs. R had a lot of work that night, pulling out fox tails and things from the poor baby’s coat. Hopefully it will be worth it as I edit these. Thank you for your hospitality and glass of wine!

The light was Mah-vel-ous

This session was done in my clients’ home in Noe Valley in San Francisco. The most delicious natural light graced the living room and dining room. I was very happy to leave my studio lighting and lightstands in the trunk of my car and just enjoy capturing this new little boy with all the available light I had. I think I love newborn sessions almost more than anything. They take quite a while to complete. There are lots and lots of breaks for mom and baby and while mom is nursing or catching herself a snack I have the opportunity to learn about my clients and who they are. There was some wonderful conversation–such hospitality–and what great sports they were while Junior peed on Mom and pooped on Dad. That comes with the territory of shooting a newborn session. Just means that he’s being well nourished and thriving.

It was very important we captured Junior with the cricket ball. We tried many variations. Here is one of them.

Brothers

Today’s session was in Moraga and we had some fun. A sneak peak of P and B and their doggy Ginger. All three were most expressive. It doesn’t get much better than this when the family dog gets in on the session.  I have to add that these boys’ mom was a darling lady.  She walked Ginger quite a bit while I was working with the boys and just let us do our own thing.  Her polite, well mannered boys are a reflection of her warmth and kindness.

San Rafael Newborn photographer-Pam Biasotti

I made a trip out to San Rafael to photograph baby L and his parents. L was yet another baby who doesn’t like to miss a beat when I am there photographing him. Sure enough as I was leaving he was ready for his slumber. I also met his big brother Zeus, who you can tell was the baby of the house before baby L came along.

Go ahead and JUMP!

Why do I have that Van Halen song on the back of my mind? Because this family was happy to do silly requests from their photographer! Very enthusiastic, nice and fun family. They chose Sunol Regional Park for their session and it has endless possibilities for photos. It was challenging having this bridge all to ourselves. Every couple of minutes there would be a group of people and their dogs trotting past us. More to come from this session soon. I have to thank my friend Erika for the inspiration to do this kind of shot.

Newborns Newborns Newborns

Something magical about the late winter and early spring. Lots of newborn babies are happening. This Palo Alto family recently became parents and brother to a new baby boy. I think mom looks fabulous and radiant. Big brother was a hoot. I have to share a cute one of big brother–he’s quite the ham! That’s my kind of kid!

Remember my sneak peek of baby A?

Well here are a few more of the little fellow and his family. He joined his parents, sister and brother in February. He’s definitely a cutie and very alert. We did catch a few sleepy moments as you can see in these photos.

Going to be a big sister!! - Maternity Photographer Pam Biasotti

I have been photographing this family since Z’s mom was pregnant with her.  She’s about to be a big sister.  I just wanted to get a sneak peak of those gorgeous brown eyes that she has.  She is the most darling 2 year old you would ever want to meet.  More to come soon.img_9122-copy.jpg

Danville Family Photography

This family wanted to have a nice portrait session at the waterfalls located on Bollinger Canyon in San Ramon. The light can get tricky over there at the end of the day, but we did manage to capture some affectionate moments between the family. Mom and Dad especially were all too willing to capture a few smooches in between.

Their daughter L thought this would be a nice treat to get the family together. Here’s a sneak peak at the session.
