June 24th… the experiment took place.

22 children, 14 families, 8 hours of natural light shooting in the beautiful Blue Sky Studios in San Francisco!!!

Bring it on!!!

It was soooooo much fun!  All of the children & families involved with the experiement were previous clients and good friends.  I was so excited to see and hangout with these cutiepies – even if just for 30 short minutes each.  We had a blast, threw around lots of balls, sat in lovely chairs and soft rugs, occassionally bonked heads (and bravely recovered!), wore tutus and danced around.

And we got some GREAT images!  I’m so happy with the results.  I was hoping that even though we were in a studio, that we’d still be able to get fun, natural, full-of-life images.  I think we got it!

Here is a fun slideshow of the highlights from the day.

Below I’ve also included just one fave of each kiddo!  It was so hard to narrow it down.

Enjoy & look out for more details future mini-session dates!

I just finished editing a portrait party and had to share! What a fun bunch of beautiful children (and mommies too!). And so much personality!

The buzz around the Portrait Parties has really picked up, and so far I have one booked a month until November! I’m really excited to provide this fun and simple option for so many great families. I’ll be limiting the parties to no more than 2 a month, so that I can still focus on my regular wedding and portrait clients, so if you are interested, please make sure to give me a buzz soon.

Many of you have also asked to see samples of the parties, so click here to view a sample portrait party slideshow.

Jenese was great to work with, as were all of her friends and kiddies. We were able to set up classic black and cream backgrounds in the house and also had time to head outside for some more candid shots too!

Here are just a few faves from the party:
