I was so, so excited to hear that S and M are expecting. These two incredible people deserve all the happiness in the world. They did an incredibly selfless act by hosting an earlier wedding just so that S’ goddaughter, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer could attend. I photographed and wrote about that day here (please visit!), so you can see what amazing people they are. There’s a reason they call S “Fairy”: she is a Fairy Godmother to be sure! And now this Fairy Godmother gets to be a Mama in her own right. I’m happy that it’s been a little bit wetter this year. We’re in drought — I know we need it. However, as a photographer,[…]See more from “Menlo Park Maternity Photography: Fairy godmother’s gonna be mama”

Menlo Park, CA Family & Child Photographer: Silly like her monkey

Friday, November 7 2014

Little N has been appearing before my lens for the past 3 years. It’s been fun to see her grow over time and see her personality evolve. She’s free spirited and I love it! This last session was no exception. She brought her monkey toy-friend along and proceeded to (herself) channel ‘monkey’ for more our less our whole mini session. From the start, climbing up big rocks; to peeking at me, while bent over — it was a silly kind of day. Might I add how impressed I am with kids’ flexibility? At the end of our session I had just moved us to this cool section of grass hills, when nature beckened for N and we needed to wrap[…]See more from “Menlo Park, CA Family & Child Photographer: Silly like her monkey”

Menlo Park, CA Family Photographer: Hiding in the trees

When I scout locations for mini sessions, one of the things that I look for is versatility. It’s important to me that each of my families have a unique experience, and their photos don’t look cookie cutter to everyone else that day. It keeps me thinking on my toes a little, and I’m sure you don’t get bored following either ;p I love El Palo Alto Park! It’s a hidden little gem straddling Menlo Park and Palo Alto. You walk through it in three minutes, so it’s easy to overlook, which is sad because it’s an incredibly pretty spot. I think bicyclists get more out of it as they cut through on their ride. You saw it before at this[…]See more from “Menlo Park, CA Family Photographer: Hiding in the trees”

Palo Alto, CA Child Photographer: Grace

This was my third family portrait session for There With Care. Every family I’ve met with, over the years, has been so incredible. I’ve walked away feeling energized and grateful. In turn, I hope to have contributed, at least a little, in each family’s healing. While the logistics are always a little harder to arrange, it’s such a worth-while experience for me. Meeting J and her family was no exception. I don’t know about you, but when I’m sick I become selfish. Woe is me, and I want to lie around the house feeling sorry for myself. I want a TV remote in my hand staring off until I fall asleep, wallowing in how crummy I feel. Yet, I look[…]See more from “Palo Alto, CA Child Photographer: Grace”
