Mill Valley Family Portrait Photography

I was lucky enough to photograph Megan & Charlie's family a couple years ago and was so excited when I heard they wanted to do another session with me this past year! Their kids are absolutely adorable and it is so great to see how much they have grown! The session was again, a ton of fun! We ventured to a park nearby their home in Mill Valley, where the kids often played. Because the park was so familiar to them and they remembered me from our previous session, they were very comfortable with me running around after them and snapping photos as they raced down slides and played on the swings. Taking family photos once a year is a great way to document how much your kids have grown and allows you to share these special moments with your loved ones whether as gifts or on Christmas cards. I can't wait to see how much the kids have grown next year!

San Francisco, Muir Beach Family Portrait Photographer

I first met Melissa and her wonderful family last year when we did a family portrait session in San Francisco. We shot them wandering the streets of the Mission district for a fun, urban look. This year, Melissa wanted to do something more soft and romantic with a nautical theme so we decided upon Muir Beach!

When I arrived at the beach, I noticed that everyone seemed to be running back to their cars. They were saying that the wind was blowing so hard it hurt! Since there was no cell phone reception there, I had no way of warning Melissa! When I ventured down to the water, it really was like a sandstorm.

I just have to mention how much I love Melissa's energy. She is so upbeat and sweet and goes above and beyond to make the photos perfect. She gave Zach and Lainee a pep talk before going out to the beach, going over the game plan so we could get some great images quickly! Despite the crazy wind blowing water and sand in every which direction, we ended up with some really great shots! Lainee was so good, even though I had her climbing rocks with the water spraying everywhere. It is so fun to see how much she has grown since last year!

Thanks Melissa, Zach and Lainee for being troopers! Can't wait to see what's in store for next year!

Berkeley Famiy Portrait Photography Session

Family photos don't have to be only for holidays! Here is a mom whom decided that she wanted have some photos taken of her and her two kids while she had them in town as a birthday gift for herself! It is such a sweet thing to do as her kids go off to college.

Berkeley Twin Baby Portrait Photography | Baby Gavin & Lucy

It must be the season for twins! Here are some photos of little Gavin and Lucy in all their cuteness. For their session, we decided to not only snap a few simple photos, but add in some fun props. (Not that these babies need anything to make the photos more adorable!) We sat them in a wooden crate with few handfuls of lemons which made for some fun and unique shots! We couldn't keep Gavin from trying to eat all the lemons! Here are a few photos from this wonderful session:

East Bay Newborn Baby Photography | Baby Jade

Baby Jade is the new daughter of Kacine and Greg whose wedding photos are featured in a gallery on our website. She is so beautiful, just like her parents! This session was a great example to new parents to always have those baby wipes ready because there is no telling when you are going to need them. In this case, it was every time Kacine and Greg took of her diaper and held her before taking photos. Thanks for being troopers, you two!

Burlingame Newborn Portrait Photography Session | Baby Ayden

Check out this adorable little man that we were lucky enough to photograph a few weeks ago! We tried to get him to sleep the entire session but little Ayden watched everything that was going on. Welcome to the world, Ayden!
