Cousins Shoot | Bay Area Family Photography

There's nothing like a portrait of a beautiful child. 

It captures right where they are and their wonder, joy, concern, or whatever it may be. 

These four boys are so beautiful and so unique in their look, but all related. 

Cousins.

Jordan, 4 years

Kaiwei, 3 years

Kekoa, 2 years

Jaiwei, 1 year

I am so touched that this family would take time to schedule a shoot just for the four of them. They really value each other and the relationship they have with each other. You can tell these kids spend time together too. They were so fun to watch interact. 

I love their parents too. 

(You know, Kekoa is like a little cousin to my Ava too).

I'm just so happy to capture how sweet they are.

Handsome boys.

Sweet, silly, cousins.

100th Birthday Shoot | Bay Area Family Photography

This amazing man, Oscar, turned 100 on August 2, 2011.

I can't tell you in words how "with it" he is. You'd have to meet him in person to understand.

He's amazing. Still full of laughter, fun,  a goofy spirit, and love for his family.

In honor of him, his family organized a shoot to capture everyone together with their

"Lolo" (Filipino for Grandpa).

Lolo with his great-grankids

And his whole family!

They love him back, that's for sure.

Muth & Cormia Full Family Shoot | Bay Area Family Photography

I feel like I've been away for so long. We took some great trips this summer as a family, which kept me away from shooting, but was great for our family. We introduced Ava to Disneyland!... and lost ourselves in the that land, in a good way :)

 Then Ava and I took 11 days to reconnect with my family in Truro, Massachusetts, one of the most beautiful places in the world, in my opinion. We really enjoyed our month of July and this was just the perfect way to get back in the swing of things for me. 

I met up with my great friend, Jill, and her family (her mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law and nieces) on their land in Gilroy to do a full family shoot with them. Cousin's were visiting from Florida and Grandma & Grandpa were proud to show them off. So we spent the morning on the farm land capturing all of their family. It was awesome. Here are some of my favorite photos from their shoot. 

This is Grandma & Grandpa:

Still youthful and so clearly in love.

And their fabulously gorgeous grandchildren.

(Ava, Tyler, Sydney, Kate, Moorea, Pierson)

I could take photos of these kids every day. SO photogenic!

And how beautiful are these two sisters?!

We even got to play with the horses and emu down the road :)

 There were few moments when we weren't laughing. 

That was my favorite thing about this shoot.

It was SO fun. 

These families have a great, upbeat energy about them and it's totally contagious!

Thanks for asking me to be there and capture the love! I loved every minute of it!
