Watts famliy Beach Shoot {Bay Area Family Photography}

It was fun to hang with this family on the beach a few weeks ago. 
It gave me a good taste of boy energy, which will soon enter our house!
They were FULL of life and joy running and chasing the waves.
Sweet boys. 
And major props to their mama! That's a lot to handle and she's got it down!

Story Time & Tea Parties in the Park | Emerson & Ansley | Los Gatos Photography

This was one of my favorite shoots. The preciousness of these moments were almost tangible and these two children are so beautiful, each in their own unique way. I was in bliss photographing them, and so thankful to their mama for making this shoot so unique. I usually ask parents to bring something special that makes their kid their kid because when you look back you want to remember what life was all about  at that moment, and I want to capture that for you. 
Amanda, you went above and beyond and I'm so glad you did. 

As you can see Ansley (left) and Emerson (right) like to read. We could barely get them to look up. They were so engrossed in their stories. Emerson's shares a favorite story with my Ava, 
Alice in Wonderland.

And then we set up (a regular event for them) in the grass, a Tea Party.
My heart overflows when I see these. I think it's the combination of the outfits choices and the tea set, but mostly how sweet their interactions were with each other. Ansley is one lucky little sister.

tea please, big sister

Xander is 2! | Bay Area Family Photography

Oh, this beautiful child! 
Xander is one of the cutest boys I've ever known. 
An Italian little love bug. 

I met him one year ago just before his 1st birthday and now he's 2! He just keeps getting cuter.
I was so happy to see him again and hear his mom speak in Italian (my favorite language). 
We had a nice hour together and I couldn't have been happier when I saw him walk up to me in a pinstriped short suit holding a red balloon. Thank you, Darianna! That made my day!

Buon Compleanno, Alexander!!

Little Stella turns 1 | Bay Area Family Photography

It was great to meet this little family and capture their sweet girl at age 1.

Stella is beyond sweet and almost walking. Almost. 
She's right at that stage when she wants to practice all the time holding on my mom & dad for security. 
I love this first shot of them :)
