Baby Lucy | 6 Months. | Bay Area Children's Photographer

Scrumptious!

This is my new little niece, Lucy.

I got to meet her for the 1st time over the Thanksgiving holiday and I couldn't resist getting her nakie and shooting her rolls and soft baby skin.

She's so cuddly and such a good baby.

I love the age too!

She was rolling all over, so curious about the camera, and so playful.

Just thought I'd share her sweetness with you too.

Love you, Lucy! xx

Baby Cara. 4 weeks, 5 lbs. | Bay Area Newborn Photography

I can't think of a better way to go out on maternity leave than to spend an hour and a half with this beautiful newborn baby. Baby Cara.

Oh, she is so special and so tiny.

She's still just 5 lbs, gaining quickly though, and 4 weeks old. 

We had to be sure to keep her warm enough. She was only really happy swaddled in mommy's arms, which is so sweet and makes perfect sense to me. 

She was so aware that I was there. All she wanted to do was fall asleep, but the click of my camera would startle her every time. Sweet little thing.

I really enjoyed talking to her mom and dad about what newborn life is like. 

I remembered!! 

This got me really excited to have my own. Just 4 more weeks (if I make it that long).

Thank you for inviting me into your home, Elisa and Jonathan. 

Enjoy Baby Cara!

Shaeffer Holiday Shoot | Bay Area Family Photography

Look how much Kaitlyn has grown!

You've seen her on the blog a few times and I'm always so happy to photograph her :) 

She's such a petite little princess and full of joy!

Here she is in her red Christmas dress. 

We had a great family holiday shoot together! 

This family is really so naturally loving. 

I love watching them together. 

Wishing you guys a wonderful holiday!

We had fun walking through Stanford and finding the right spots and moments for a good photo :)

Such handsome brothers too!

Enjoy their holiday sneak peek!

I love photographing this family.

 I feel so blessed that they continue to ask me to. 

Kekoa is growing so fast and soon to be a big brother! I couldn't be more happy for them. 

We celebrated at the end of our holiday shoot together with some big brother shots. 

I love you guys! xo

Enjoy this handsome guy among the trees & mustard greens.

Biehl Holiday Shoot Sneak Peek | Bay Area Family Photography

Aren't these some good lookin' kids?!

I had a blast running through Stanford's campus with them to capture their awesome kid spirits.

And a compliment of all compliments: after I posted these photos on facebook, someone who knows these guys personally said I had captured each of their personalities in one shot (the b&w below). That's my goal! I was so happy to hear it!

Happy Holidays to this great family!

 I loved meeting you!

:)

Kargahi Family Shoot | San Francisco Bay Area Photography

This was a really fun shoot for me! 

The Kargahi's won this shoot at a Las Madres fall festival raffle, which was so exciting!!

It was great to meet them. As a family they have such a great, loving energy and their daughter, as she should be, is the most lovable thing in their lives.

Once we finally found each other we had a great time shooting and playing!

Enjoy the peek into their shoot!

Can't wait to work with you guys again!! :)

Catalano Holiday Shoot | Los Gatos Family Photography

Oh goodness, this girl gets cuter and cuter every time I see her!

Gianna. 

I've known her since she practically had no hair! She and Ava go back a few years (hehe! they've only been alive for three)!  Anyway, really, more than the kids connect at this age, the mom's do, and I really love her mom, Aimee. She's very real and open. From the first time I met her I felt really comfortable around her and, of course, I love the Italian in them! 

I was so happy they asked me to do a holiday shoot with them! They have a new addition, almost a year old, Dario, who is handsome as can be!

Enjoy some of my favorite shots of them!

Muth Holiday Shoot | Gilroy Family Photography

I love going down to Gilroy to photograph this family. There is endless beauty down there and I can't get enough of the kids! They are so cute!

I know, you've seen them before, but here they are again, cuter than ever!

Moorea

Tyler

Pierson (look at those curls!)

Together they make up this awesome family!

Crain Family Holiday Shoot | Bay Area Photography

Oh, Little Liam!! I love him!

He's already almost 10 months!

It was so fun to spend some time with him in the leaves. 

He's such a happy guy! All smiles!

Here's a little peek into their holiday shoot:

Stewart Family | Bay Area Family Photography

I really loved photographing this family. 

I loved the lighting and the yellow flowers.

Their daughter Katrina is so naturally beautiful! I love this shot of her.

This is Ethan. He's 7 & loved climbing in the trees :)

Mom and Dad: Drew and Liz

It was so touching to watch Ethan's connection with Liz. He didn't want to get off her lap. 

Such a little love.

Super cute family!

Del Grande Fall Shoot | Bay Area Family Photography

Such a gorgeous family, the Del Grande's!

Mama could be a super model for goodness sake, and they made some seriously cute boys!

I had fun shooting with them.
