Hello Baby :: Newborn Photography Emeryville, CA

Friday, February 12th, 2010

This family has been long time clients, so when I got the email that they were expecting baby boy number two, I was excited for two reasons.  First, it was a newborn session (I love those!)  New life is so precious and sweet.  I always feel so honored to be a part of that fleeting moment.   And second, I knew the light in their loft.  It sounds so photo geeky, but it’s true.  Whenever I get a call or email about a newborn session, I immediately wonder about the light in their home.   The baby’s room had HUGE windows, so the light was beautiful.  You can really see it in the second picture down with his profile.  As it turns out, that picture is my favorite.  There’s just something about it that makes me stare – maybe it’s his little nose, or the way his tiny hand is curled around his ear… maybe it’s just his overall peacefulness.

Anyhow, this little peanut was too cute.  He was gorgeous in every way – super sweet and perfectly chunky – I seriously didn’t want to put him down!  He also slept more than I could have possibly hoped for.  He was still fast asleep once we moved outside!  Of course there is that little moment where he’s crying like mad… almost as if he knew his mama was giving attention to his older brother.   They do know, don’t they?  Kind of like when you’re on the phone and the quietly playing children suddenly decide it’s time to start WWIII.    This, my friends, is why I don’t dare answer the phone when The Crazies are awake.  It’s for the greater good.

I hope everyone has a lovely Valentine’s day – I cannot believe spring is nearly here!

Tea for three :: Pleasanton, CA Lifestyle Photography

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Happy New Year!  I’m thrilled to be starting another year doing what I love.  And with that I want to share an absolutely amazing session I had with a beautiful and fun family of five.  With three girls there is no shortage of pink, sparkles, tea parties, or squeals.  It was so sweet to see their mom and dad loving every minute of it. There are so many pictures that I just loved, it was hard not to share them all.  These girls were hilarious!  I laughed so much!  Each of them has a very distinct personality, but the one thing they all share is this amazing happiness.  There was a lot of love and laughter in that house, and it shows in the photos.

And here’s a little tip, if you want some cute clothes, this mom knows where to shop!  With her kids decked out in clothes from stores like  www.crewcuts.com and NextDirect we were destined to have fabulous photos!

Be sure to check back next week – I’m working on a slide show with 2009 highlights.   I’ve got so many favorites, that it’s going to a hard to narrow them down.  I’m sure it’ll be well worth it!

Hope you’re enjoying 2010 – it’s gonna be a fantastic year!

Last post of 2009! :: Bay Area Photographer

Monday, December 28th, 2009

I love where we live!  I love being close to a downtown, to Mt. Diablo, having only a 30 min BART ride to San Francisco, being able to drive just 4 hours to Tahoe,  or  just 2 to Carmel.  But what I think I like the most about this area is photography related.  I can safely shoot 10 months out of the year without fear of rain.  January and February get a little tricky, but I tend to take time off then anyhow, so it all works out.  So if your trying to book a session, my next available family session isn’t until late February. However, if you are wanting to book a newborn session, I will do my best to fit you in – just call.

Below are a few of my favorite photos from a holiday session several weeks ago.  We get the most beautiful rolling green hills… which make for some amazing pictures – especially if the mama shops at BodenUSA for the kids’ clothes!  And you may remember the little blond from the Baby & Kids modeling shoot last year.  How could you forget those eyes?  So adorable! Such a gorgeous family!

I hope everyone has a fabulous 2010!

p.s. Boden is having a 50% off sale right now, so chop chop!
