Half Moon Bay Family Portraits: A fall day… in summer

I only began photographing J and J 3 years ago. We started off with J saying they feel like “Chandlers” when it came to being photographed. To this I say “no way!”, because their smiles are perfect and the time we spend together is always full of jokes and laughter. In the past their doggie, Chloe, had joined us for family portraits. Alas the newness of a beach and the long drive for them meant Chloe got to sit this year out. Chloe is more scared of squirrels than they are of her, so her anxiety was not something we wanted for anyone involved. She got to nap at home while Mom and Dad cuddled on the beach with me.[…]See more from “Half Moon Bay Family Portraits: A fall day… in summer”

I have some remarkably talented friends. A has been creating some marvelous quilts and watching her progress and growth over time has been really inspiring. When she asked if she could incorporate one of her quilts in our portrait session, I thought “Of course!” I encourage the moms and dads to bring special toys their kids are into for our family sessions all the time; the same applies here. Great idea A! A helped me kick off my fall season mini-sessions. We met at Poplar Beach in Half Moon Bay. I’m really digging this spot, because of it’s versatility. I get everything from sandy beaches, to lovely fields. A joined me down on the beach 🙂 On the day of[…]See more from “Half Moon Bay Portrait Photographer: Talent”

Now you’ll get a chance to meet the Bump before we snuggle it in baby form. I photographed S’ first baby bump not all that long ago I’m so excited for these guys.

I love fulfilling photo gifts! G and D bought D’s mom a gift certificate for a family portrait session with me for Christmas. Grandma loved the photos of the kids from the previous fall and was pretty excited to take her own turn. The only trick was aligning the time, because Grandma L lives all the way in beautiful Santa Barbara! As D and G each had business trips to go to last month, Grandma L came up to help with the boys and it was perfect! With the sun setting later in the day, as summer approaches, we met on a Monday evening, after dinner. It was a quick shoot, super close to home. I was actually worried about[…]See more from “San Carlos Family Portrait: Photo Gifts”
