Introducing… | San Francisco Lifestyle Family Photography | San Francisco Baby Photographer

Miss Chiara!!!!

I love, love, love to photograph this wonderful family! I’ve been so lucky to capture their 1st maternity session expecting Jules, then Jules at about 6 months, then a mini-session when Jules was about 2, then an extended family shoot with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, then this past summer when they were awaiting the arrival of this beautiful little girl!

Some of you may remember the maternity session from this past fall (see post here) contained one of my favorite pictures of 2009. And of course, this 6th session did not disappoint, with lots of images of love and family, and beautiful baby adorableness. And now, I have more favorites for 2010 – so many, I couldn’t post just one! And you can see more of their slideshow here.

Francesca, Tim, Jules & Chiara – thank you for inviting me to continue to capture your incredibly wonderful family. It is always such a treat to see you!

San Francisco Portrait Photography | Bay Area Lifestyle Photographer | Liam Summer ‘09

admin — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 05:31:26 +0000

I was so excited to see Liam again this summer! I photographed his mama for a maternity session, then his newborn session shortly after. I so love seeing little guys grow and change, and goodness, Liam has got some personality! Just check out his hilarious interaction with his favorite monkey friend below!

Can’t you just hear the conversation they are having?

“Hi Monkey! Wow – I didn’t know you were here. So good to see you dude!”

“Hey Mom! Look! It’s Monkey!”

“Mmmm. So good to see you man, don’t mind me, I’m just being developmentally appropriate, and I have to eat everything I see. No offense right? Thanks dude.”

Okay, I’m done with my “Look Who’s Talking” impression! I’ll let the pictures of Liam and his two gorgeous cousins, Katie & William speak for themselves. Here are a few more faves, or for many more fun images from the session, take a peek at their slideshow! Seriously, there are too many cute ones to share, you gotta take a peek!

Thanks so much Kelley & family for inviting me to capture your family!

Ben is getting so big!!!

Ben’s parent’s purchased a maternity, newborn and 6 month package to help capture Ben’s first year. Heading over to Ben’s 3rd session, I couldn’t help thinking about how I have the best job ever! It is soooooo much fun to see these little guys go from bump to baby to toddler and on!

Ben of course, had changed so much in the 7 months since I had seen him last! This is of course, the perfect timing for the “gerber baby” shots. Sitting up, but not yet really crawling! But before we headed to the black background shots, we grabbed some fun shots of Ben in his crib.

I always giggle when I see crib shots, it’s this funny tension between it looking like a fun spot & a jail that must be escaped!

Ben doesn’t seem bothered though! He’s a super happy little guy!!!

So much fun! Here are some uber-cute classic portraits of Ben to finish off the session! For more fun shots of our session, take a peek at the slideshow!

Thanks Alissa for another great session! Can’t wait for the next one!!!

Newborn babies DO smile… yes, they do!!!

I don’t mean to boast, and maybe as a mother, I’m already biased… okay, so of course I am! But after working with children for years as a child care provider, then as a mom of two, then as a photographer of all ages, I think I know a little bit about newborns. And in my opinion, contrary to popular belief… newborn babies DO smile!!! And not just because of gas (although, I think that is good practice, because let’s face it, toots are funny!!!).

They may be quick smiles, because they are still learning to control so many thing about their new bodies. But they do smile. They smile when they are happy, when they are content, when they are safe and because they know they are loved.

Just take a peek at this beautiful moment between mother & child that I captured during Manon and Alysandre’s newborn session.

Have you ever seen two people more in love? As it should be. Indisputable.

More of their sessions (maternity & newborn) to come soon!

Hello Mia!!!

admin — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 17:27:48 +0000

Wow. I can’t believe how lucky I have been these past few months… so many lovely newborn & baby sessions! I’d love to say that I’ve gotten my baby fix – believe me, my hubby would love that too – but oooooh, it’s only made me more determined in my campaigning for a #3 to add to our little teampg! And who could feel differently after spending some QT with miss Mia?! She is just lovely, lovely and you can already get a sense of her sweet nature.

Here are some faves from the session:

Isn’t she just the sweetest?!!! And anyone who has met her parents would not be surprised by this sweetness. She is one lucky & loved little girl. Her daddy is actually a hero in my family… he’s our family dentist! Seriously, Isabella and Noah truly ADORE Dr. Hofmann & his staff. Who knew getting your teeth cleaned could be so fun? I have many times, and will continue to recommend Dr. Hofmann to anyone looking for a great dentist, with a responsive and really caring staff, & a great fit for the whole family! The kids look forward to their appointments – I think that speaks for itself!

Mary, Brett, Mia & Moose ~ thank you so much for inviting me to capture this special time in your family!

Meet Sebastian (week one)!

admin — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:41:29 +0000

I love, love, love to photograph newborns in the first month of life – even as early as week one! This time goes by soooooo quickly, when they are this eensey beansey. There is so much adjustment happening for everyone, that it is hard to remember to capture images of this most tiny stage. I met Jesenia at one of the local mom & baby fairs, and she remembered to call me shortly after she & Sebastian arrived home. I was so thrilled to help her capture this amazing time, and the tender love this mama has for her beautiful little boy! So sweet.

Thank you Jesenia, for letting me capture this amazing time. I’m looking forward to seeing Sebastian grow!!
