Lambert Family Shoot | Bay Area Family Photography

I left this shoot with a new boyfriend and oooooh he is sweet!
I think my hubby was even a little jealous when I told him about Ty.
Yes, we definitely fell in love on this shoot, even shared "i love you's" as we parted ways.
I miss him already! ;)
Ty is this handsome little guy and Tessa is his little sister, already 13 months!
They both have this striking strawberry-blond hair and delicate little features. 
Really beautiful children.
 I felt lucky that Ty shared some love with me that day. I just love how there is always, always room for more love. 
Since I last had a shoot with them, their little angel girl, Tessa was born. 
I hadn't seen her since she was a newbie and now she's walking!
It was great to catch up with the Lambert's!
Enjoy a little sneak peek from our shoot together.

Baby Colin | 3 months old | Bay Area Children's Photography

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet little boy, Colin.
He's just 3 weeks younger than my Nathan. 
I loved photographing his big smile and capturing this moment in his life. 
It seems so fleeting--I know it feels that way for me, especially as I have another little one running around the house. It all goes so fast. Colin is well into his 4th month by now. 
I'll get to see him again at 6 months and awe at how much he's grown!

I think my favorite of all the shots is this 1st one. It's such an adjustment for the 1st child to have a sibling. 
I've found, and I see in this photo, that no matter how challenging it may be, underneath it all is such a sweet, genuine love. 
It's so touching.
He's a lucky little guy to have Lauren as his big sis.
:)

Varela Family Shoot | Santa Clara Photography

Such a beautiful spot, Santa Clara University. 
It holds a soft spot in my heart because I met Brad there. 
Come to find out this is where Alane and Michael met too; and they made this beautiful boy, Evan!
It was fun to go back on campus and photograph this family. 
They are so sweet and easy going, such a pleasure to spend time with :)
Evan just learned to walk so he was showing off! :)
Such a cutie!!

Hansen Family Maternity Shoot | Bay Area Photography

This beautiful lady is a dear friend of mine, Hsiaolei Parks. 
You've seen her on the blog with her cute family many times and I'm so grateful to be the person who photographs the different stages and moments they experience. 
This winter we did a holiday shoot and she was newly pregnant. Look at her now!
She's almost there, due in three weeks!
I feel like another member of my own family is about to be born.
I'm so excited to meet the little girl in that beautiful belly.

For now, we can just admire her beauty in pregnancy. 
And wait for a family of three to become four.

Miss Maddy | Los Gatos Children's Photography

It's been 15 months since sweet Madalyn was born. 
I was there to shoot her new-babyness and it just astonishes me how fast time flies! 
She is so precious and so curious. 
These are a few of my favorite photos of our shoot together this spring. 
Catching bubbles.

Maddy's mom is a wonderful woman. 
It's so easy to be around her and talk with her. 
Thanks to the Prior-Hanson family for a lovely hour in the park.
