As my children grow up and my pile of photographs grows taller and taller by the day, the average number of photos that I’m in is shrinking. Why is that? My kids don’t care about the baby weight I might still be holding on to. The future me isn’t going to notice that I didn’t have time to *ahem* brush my hair that morning or that maybe I wore those yoga paints just a touch too often. And lets face it, those wrinkles I don’t like now aren’t going anywhere in the future. When my babies are adults and my twenties and thirties are nothing more than memories contained in the pages of our photo albums, they aren’t going to think anything other than, “Wow, Mom looked so young!”
So, to honor all the other wonderful mothers out there who maybe aren’t in as many photographs as they should be, I’m offering a day of relaxed and casual portraits at a special rate. Join me for an intimate session with your little ones that you know will be treasured. I don’t normally do this. So that makes what I’m about to offer an extra special treat. Don’t miss your chance!

It is very exciting to be featured on Inspired by This. Leila and her team of PR experts have done amazing things for my generation or photographers. I’m thrilled to be included on her blog!

It is a humbling experience to watch a person grow, learn, and experience the world for the first time. Every little thing around her is new. It’s exciting and entertaining. Watching Olive discover herself and her surroundings has helped me to reestablish my vision and expectations each day. I feel a little less jaded and a little more open. It feels a bit like I’m teaching her the basics of living, but she’s teaching me to better experience life.
Cheesy, right? But it’s true. And it’s hard to imagine that this is the last baby I’ll raise. That this is the last time I’ll view the world through a completely new set of eyes. And it’s going so fast.
Olive Harper, 6 Months.

I feel so blessed when I get to spend time with my families year after year. There is just something so fun about watching couples change and evolve and children grow from babies to talkative children. I’ve been lucky enough to photograph Gaby and her precious family for 3 years now, and every time I see them, they’re cuter than the last!
Thank you Gaby for spending a wonderful morning with me. It’s always so good to catch up!

It is an incredible honor to be listed as one of the Top 5 Photography Blogs by Allparenting. The pool of talent listed are some of my all time favorites out there. Thank you Sheri for wonderful article.
I was so honored and excited to shoot Angela and her family. I was lucky enough to meet Angela in college when she was an incredibly motivated nursing student and I was weeding my way through a communications degree at the University of San Francisco. (Go Dons!) We had lost touch a bit over the years, but seeing her with her children and being an amazing wife was incredible to see. Plus, We had so much fun running the kids through the fantastic Gamble Gardens in Palo Alto and it was wonderful to hear all about their lives.
Thank you Ang for spending the morning with me!

Happy New Year!
It was completely impossible for me to narrow down my favorites to just one final image. I had an entire post planned with a full crop of pictures to share. But when I woke up today, I changed my mind. 2012 was such a magical year for me. And a lot of that revolves around the tiny little nugget that graced us with her presence in September. So in honor of Olive, my final favorite of the 2012 year is of a newborn shot of the princess herself.
Here is to an even better 2013!
