I can’t believe it’s already been over a month since E was born! Man time flies. He already looks so different from the day he came into the world. I can’t wait to see what he’ll look like in just a few months. Will he have his big brother’s dimples? Will he have his mom’s brown eyes (like she hopes)? As our own boys grow, it’s easy to forget life with a newborn. I forget just how little and light they are. Feathers in comparison to the 30+ pounders that ask me to pick them up. I forget how their eyes move as they study the room around then where everything is so, so new. I’m glad I have newborn[…]See more from “San Jose, CA Newborn Photographer: A baby brother”

A month ago, these guys braved one of our wettest storms, and we still met for N’s maternity session. There were snuggles, belly rubs, and an awesome ending jumping in some huge puddles in the end. I got home that day and ordered myself a pair of Hunter Rain boots because I wanted some of that puddle jumping fun for my home too. Well, N’s belly passenger has arrived. Little R was two weeks old when we met for his newborn portraits. He was alert for part of our meeting and asleep for another. He even gave his daddy a nice grin while he was asleep. I’m sure he was working out a nice surprise for him for later 🙂[…]See more from “Foster City, CA Newborn Photographer: Contrasts”

Ok, really, does it get any cuter than a naked toddler playing on mom and dad’s bed? Not really! So prepare yourself for some giggles. I know many people are looking for a way to lighten their mood, so use this for help. I’ve said it before, but I can’t get over how much I love photographing families in their home. It’s intimate, unique and just plain fun. I get to photograph kids amongst their toys, and families where they are the most free to be themselves. I get to use elements like chairs and couches that not only allow me to photograph a different perspective, but leave everyone cozy. It flexes my creative muscles and like I said: it’s[…]See more from “Belmont, CA Child & Family Photographer: Peek-a-boo!”

What better way to start a new year than with the birth of a brand new person? Since big sis was two weeks late for her arrival, Mommy was convinced that baby A would take awhile to make her arrival too. She hadn’t even packed a bag to the hospital when A announced it was time. Isn’t she beautiful? Big sis was in awe, loved getting some dedicated attention of her own, and was a really good helper to me. Even volunteered to do some newborn poses of her own. Grandma and Grandpa were also still visiting that day, and I enjoyed photographing them play with the kids. Happy New Year, everyone! Let’s greet it with a newborn session!

Meet R! She is the director for Footsteps at Nesbit Puma Cubs pre-school in Belmont. Our two monkeys have been under her watchful eye since they were wee bits, and we have received more support than you can imagine from her and the Footsteps pre-school staff. Her caretaking duties don’t end at the end of the work-day: R goes home to two wily boys of her own and a loving husband that was diagnosed with MS. She’s a self-less hero and I feel thrilled to be able to photograph her family.
