I’ve been photographing babies all over the Bay Area since 2002, but mostly in San Francisco, the East Bay and of course, down the Peninsula. Which was where we called home until this past summer, when we moved to beautiful Napa!

To be honest, we were SO busy this past summer & fall, just keeping up with the beautiful weddings and returning family sessions, that I resisted any urge to build a new client base in Napa. Things have finally calmed down now, and I was just so excited to meet Jen & little Nico for a lovely local shoot! And the 7 minute commute to and from their session… well, let’s just say it was quite blissful! I’m thinking I could get used to that!

Here are a few quick faves from the session. For more from the session, view their slideshow!

First a few beautiful, classic images. Although not used for the whole session, and definitely not past the 1st birthday, I find the classic black background still offers a beautiful canvas to capture the gorgeous skin and teeny shape of infants.

I love capturing shots with mom and knowing that years from now, she’ll marvel at this perspective of her baby, so small and tiny in her arms. And have you ever seen a more perfectly shaped little baby head? So sweet!

Then a few faves bathed in natural window light. I love the way Nico’s bottom lip made a perfect little bow as he drifted off to sleep.

Being a beautiful baby, is definitely hard work – we tuckered little Nico out!

Thank you Jen for inviting me to capture this sweet time with your little guy!
