Max turned one this week! A few weeks ago, we captured his 1 year photo session here in Napa & it was so much fun!!! Max is so full of personality! And I love, love, love the fun that he has with Mom & Dad. This shot below is one of those beautiful family moments that I hope to capture in every session. My hope is that my clients will look at it again, 10, 20 years down the line. And when they look at it, I hope it transports them back to this wonderful time together. And even though Max may not have a memory of this moment years later, I love to imagine that he’ll see in these images how loved & cherished he is.

I love when I’m editing images and suddenly can’t help but laugh out loud. I love that when I’m spending time with families, they begin to relax and just enjoy being together. This was one of those perfect silly moments, and I felt very lucky to be able to capture it!

There are so many pics from this lovely session to share, as it was the full family affair: grandparents, two twin brothers, their beautiful wives and gorgeous kiddos. We shot at two beautiful wineries in the Napa Valley, Nickel & Nickel and Peju. I was blown away by the photo opportunities & can’t wait to shoot there again!

Here are a few faves from the session, or check out their slideshow:

Thank you Baskerville Family for trusting me to capture such important family memories! So great to meet you all!

Janel & Geoffrey had a beautiful, intimate wedding last month at gorgeous Meadowood in St. Helena, nestled in the hills of the Napa Valley.   Surrounded by close friends and family, Janel & Geoffrey were married on the lovely croquet lawn at Meadowood, in a traditional Jewish ceremony.  I’ve always loved the way that Jewish ceremonies reflect a deep sense of community and family.   Because the ceremony has so many parts as well, it’s really lovely to photograph… so many touching moments!  Below are just a few favorites from their wedding day.

The stunning floral design is the work of Pat Friday, of Friday Flowers.

Janel & Geoffrey, thank you so much for letting Jenna & I capture your beautiful wedding day!
