Palo Alto, CA Child & Family Photographer: A toddler in the garden

Little M is one! It's been wonderful photographing her and her big sis this past year. M is almost walking now, and is one mean crawler. Also eater of dirt. I don't know why, but Gamble Gardens foliage must look delicious to toddlers, because invariably there will be dirt consumed.

These guys brought the sun out with them last Saturday. It was a chilly, overcast morning at Gamble Gardens, and I walked through since (surprisingly) this has been my first session here since last fall and I wanted to see how the garden had changed. Their car pulled up though and the sun broke through the clouds, burning up all the gloominess. I took my jacket off and proceeded to run around these two little girls. Although, my the end, I couldn't tell who was more exhausted: me or mom & dad :)

Gilroy, CA Newborn Photographer: The littlest addition

L and T are meant to be parents. They're just so darn good at it. I have ardent respect for the way that they raise their kids and the awesome people those kids are becoming.

I'll admit, there are many days when I feel like raising two is me just treading water. I marvel at them for taking on four. Big sister J though is being amazing, and the way that she holds her little sis and comforts her: it's just a joy to watch. I'm already feeling J might have some secrets to share with ME.

Thank you guys for inviting me to photograph your newest arrival.

Mountain View, CA Child & Family Photographer: Faraway visitors

R, J and S moved all the way to Souther California. So imagine my surprise when she emailed me to ask for a session while they visited friends and family for graduation this summer. I couldn't be more flattered!

S has grown up so much. He's funny, and so sweet!

We met at Rengstorff House on a chilly, and windy Saturday morning. The day before was scorching hot in Santa Clara, and they came ready for a repeat of that day. Boy did the weather have us fooled. We found the least windy spot and put the sun at their backs to keep them warm. They're great sports though: not a whimper or a frown to be had.

Belmont, CA Photographer: A boy and his balloon & Mother's Day Mini Sessions (Part 8)

When I arrived at the site for our (second) Mother's Day mini-session event, T, R and N were already there. Waiting. With a HUGE orange balloon. Little N's birthday is right around Mother's Day, so T used this opportunity not only to cuddle with her little man, but also grab some portraits for his big 0-1 milestone.
Little N's got 4 teeth, a smile that melts your heart, a waddling toddler bootie and a balloon. How much better does it get?

Belmont, CA Photographer: My little redhead & Mother's Day Mini Sessions (Part 7)

Sweet, little O came out this time with her Momma and Grandma in celebration of Mother's Day. I love generational session meet-ups like this because I love photographing a family's evolution. Plus seeing Grandma play with her little grand-kiddo is just plain fun.

Every time I look into O's little face I see just the perfect blend between her mom and dad. It's hard to pull apart which part of her features remind me more of whom. Also, her hair is awesome: it's wild and fun, and I'm glad Mom put it down to capture her as she usually is every day.

Thank you guys for making the long drive out to see me!
