Do you ever have a moment where you turn on the radio and the song playing describes exactly how you feel? Well, that happened to me when I started my car after my family photography session with these guys. My Pandora radio station kicked off “Mercy” by Duffy. The “Yeah, yeah, yeah” running in my mind was now also echoed by my speakers. Come see why… I love photographing these guys. I have been every year since E was born, and it’s great! Last time we had an awesome afternoon at Grant San Francisquito Creek in Palo Alto, and this year was no exception. We met at Foothill College in Los Altos. I’ve been making my way through some of[…]See more from “Los Altos Family Photography: Yeah, yeah, yeah!”

Although we didn’t know it at the time, the last time I photographed M and her family, we weren’t doing family portraits for three. We were taking pictures of a soon-to-be-family of 5! Just a few weeks after our session, M found out there were twin baby boys snuggled up in her belly. Big Sis, H is happy to tell you about her two baby brothers, and I’m pretty excited to welcome them into this world in a few months. Today, though? We met to celebrate this beautiful baby bump. I know M said she feels huge, but I don’t see it. She looks pretty perfect the way she is. We met in the afternoon at Hidden Villa. I haven’t[…]See more from “Los Altos, CA Family & Maternity Photographer: Two babies”

Los Altos, CA Bay Area Child & Family Photographer: Location karma

I feel like I got really lucky this session. The spot I wanted to use was mowed down, blocked off, and really not in good light at Rancho San Antonio. So I literally had 15 minutes to figure out a different place to use on the huge expanse that is this park. I always come to locations a bit early so I can do a walk around and plan for contingencies just for this reason. S and Z arrived early themselves, so as I sprinted around, these guys patiently waited in their car for me. Thanx, you guys! But right next to the parking lot was the perfect spot for us to use. I call that “location karma”. I’m likely[…]See more from “Los Altos, CA Bay Area Child & Family Photographer: Location karma”

Los Altos, CA Child & Family Photographer: The chicken goes Bok! Bok!

I love doing family sessions at unexpected places. Bonus if it’s rustic. So B asked that we meet at the farm at Rancho San Antonio park, I thought “Awesome!”. Yet as we looked into the logistics of the mile hike into the property we had a slight change of heart. Don’t get me wrong: I’ll hike a mile (as long as I’m wearing the right shoes ;p), but it was a bit much for a 2 yr old and jet-lagged grandparents. However, close enough, Hidden Villa offered us some gorgeous grounds, fun chickens to chase and brand new baby piglets to oogle. I loved watching little Ms. N walk around flapping her little arms like a chicken — the cutest[…]See more from “Los Altos, CA Child & Family Photographer: The chicken goes Bok! Bok!”
