Napa Maternity Photography | Gabriela + Ignacio | Napa Maternity Photographer

admin — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 23:00:27 +0000

I was so excited to meet Gabriela & Ignacio at the East Bay Baby Fair last Spring! We hit it off quickly, and I knew we would have fun working together! They combined their trip to Napa with a few days of relaxing in the valley’s warm weather & enjoying beautiful scenery. I’m very excited to meet their little one this Fall!

Below are a few favorites from their sweet session, or view their slideshow here!

Gabriela & Ignacio, thank you so much for inviting me to capture this special time in your family!

San Francisco Newborn Photography | Welcome Xavier (aka Little Awesome)!

admin — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 00:59:05 +0000

If you saw Michelle & Lucas’ maternity photography session, you’ll recognize this gorgeous family, with their new little son Xavier! I was so excited to meet him, and capture them all together as a family outside the womb! I loved how during their maternity session, I could imagine Michelle & Lucas as parents. They have so much love for each other, and they laugh so easily together. You can tell that not only will Xavier be treasured, but be surrounded by fun and giggles too! I can’t wait to see him at our next session!

Here are a few faves from his newborn photo shoot (he was so attentive & aware, we had to completely tucker him out before we could get this shot below)!

Michelle & Lucas, thank you for inviting me to capture this special time. I can’t wait to see your Little Awesome grow!

San Francisco Maternity Photography | Michelle + Lucas | Awaiting Little Awesome!

admin — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 00:25:02 +0000

I was so excited when Michelle & Lucas decided to book a 3-session package for this year, to capture maternity, newborn and infant images of their upcoming arrival, or as they like to refer to as their “Little Awesome.” So sweet! We had such a fun time at their maternity session, mixing up a little classic black & white with some fun lifestyle images around their home.

Here are a few faves! They welcomed Little Awesome recently… you’ll have to peek back to see some sweet, sweet newborn images!

Michelle & Lucas, I’m so honored to be a part of capturing this amazing year in your lives. Can’t wait to capture more sweet moments in your family!

San Francisco Maternity Photography | More Jules, Francesca & Tim | Maternity Portraits

admin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 16:40:34 +0000

I had to post one of my very favorites from this session over the weekend, but here are some more from a wonderful maternity portrait session with Francesca, Tim & big brother Jules!

Wow – I love, love, love photographing these guys! I had the pleasure of photographing Francesca & Tim the day before Jules was born, then paid them a visit in the hospital on day 2 to capture some newborn pictures! Since then, I’ve gotten to capture Jules six month pictures, a fun 2 year old mini-session, an extended family session with Francesca’s parents and siblings, and now their #2! It’s an incredible feeling to be invited to continue to capture families as they grow. I feel so, so honored.

So enough of my gushing – on with the show! Here are just a few favorites from the session, for more view their slideshow!

Thank you Francesca, Tim & Jules for inviting me to capture this special time in your family. I can’t wait to meet little sister!!!

San Francisco Maternity Photography | Little Sister | San Francisco Maternity Portraits

admin — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 23:09:30 +0000

This image is one of my favorites of the year…

… I know I’m probably not supposed to say that, it’s kind of like a parent saying they have a favorite child. And when I really think about it, I do have lots of favorite images from the past year. But I love how this image makes me feel the connection of life and love and siblings and family and the sheer enormity and tenderness of it all. I love how photography can create that kind of powerfully moving moment.

More soon from the rest of this session, but I had to post this one image for now!

San Francisco Maternity Photography | Awaiting Maya | San Mateo Maternity Photographer

admin — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:42:49 +0000

I’m a sucker for children with curls. If you’ve ever seen pictures of my little ones, or my husband (when he is one of his longer haircut stages) you’d understand! I especially love long curls on children, so when I met Ari, Maya’s big-brother-to-be, I became an instant fan!

I love how you can see wisdom and depth in his expression. It’s like he knows a lot is about to change in his world, but he’s also feeling very loved and excited to greet his new little sister!

Below are some favorite images from their maternity & family session. Check back soon for some images of little Maya during her newborn session!

You can also view more maternity session images in their slideshow.

Dalia, Andrew & Ari, thank you so much for inviting me to capture these special moments in your family!

San Francisco Newborn Photography | Meet Madeleine | Bay Area Newborn Photographer

admin — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:21:13 +0000

I so love being able to photograph babies-in-belly during our maternity sessions, and then be able to return to capture their brand-new arrival during the first month! I had so much fun with Suzanne & Paul during their maternity session, and was so excited to hear of Madeleine’s arrival! Here is miss Madeleine’s first photo shoot, just one week old! She was already so alert and interested in everything going on around her. We finally exhausted her at the very end of the session and we were able to capture a few sleepy newborn smiles – you know – the kind they give just as they are falling into a deeper sleep? So beautiful!

To see more, you can view their slideshow here!

Suzanne, Peter & Madeleine, thank you for inviting me to capture this amazing beginning to your family!

San Francisco Maternity Photography Session | Suzanne & Peter

admin — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 14:45:11 +0000

I had such a great time photographing Suzanne & Peter, and am looking forward to meeting their little one this next month to photograph their newborn session!

Here are just a couple of favorites for a quick share!

I shot this while standing on a step ladder to capture the images we mom’s see of our toes… if we are lucky enough to see them!

Suzanne is just glowing & gorgeous with her pregnancy, you can see the love these two share in every shot! I had to share these two below, because the scrolling iron entryway and city skyline from Crissy Field is so quintessential San Francisco to me!

Thank you Suzanne & Peter for inviting me to capture this amazing time – I can’t wait to meet your beautiful baby!
