Meet Lyla | Newborn photographer

January 11, 2012

When my husband’s brother and his wife announced that they were expecting a little girl, I couldn’t have been more thrilled! I’ve shared before that I often dreamed a little girl and all the frilly and pink things associated with that…. I knew almost immediately that I’d hop on a plane the minute she was born so that I could take some photos for them. And take photos I did! I landed in LA and I don’t think I put my camera down for a minute.

Isn’t she a doll?

It melts my heart to be able to take photos for family. There is no pressure to be perfect. There is no weirdness if I ask you to hold your baby, naked, in the middle of a Christmas Tree Farm. There is no make-up, no wardrobe, and no expectations. It reminded me that I need to shot for myself more often. The raw love in these photos blows me away.

Thank you Patrick and Sarah for letting me come down and hold your little angel. She’s beautiful.

Julia | San Jose newborn photographer

November 9, 2011

It always makes my heart happy when I get a call from a previous client. I feel like I get these amazing little glimpses into so many wonderful peoples’ lives and I always want to know how everyone is doing after our shoots. (To all my wonderful clients, I’m serious! Send me updates. I want to see your family grow, your babies start to walk, and any and all new pets that join your nest.)

You may remember Laura and Ross from their shoot with me last year. I was so incredibly excited to hear from Laura and thrilled for them that they were expecting a little girl. Getting to spend the morning with such wonderful new parents who are simply overwhelmed with love for their new child, exhausted, generally just in awe amazes me. Children are such a gift. And I’m reminded of their greatness every time I’m around them.

Lauren and Ross, thank you for allowing me into your family for a day. I truly enjoyed seeing you both so happy.

And of course the pups had to get in on the action. Plus, I’m just a sucker for a cute, squishy dog face.

Little Oliver | Martinez Newborn photographer

October 3, 2011

When Melissa called me to tell me Baby Oliver had made an early appearance, I was so incredibly excited to meet the little guy. Melissa and Ron were so much fun during their maternity session, I was overflowing with anticipation for this shoot. And I was not disappointed. I had such a good time seeing how much these two took to being parents. There is so clearly an amazing amount of love in that house. It made my heart happy.

Melissa, your little guy is an absolute angel and it was truly a joy to meet him.

Sweet Scarlett | San Francisco newborn photographer

May 18, 2011

I was positively squealing with delight when Andrea called me to say that little baby Scarlett had arrived last month. I knew I would fall head over heels in love with her little girl as soon as I had a chance to meet her. I was right. I could barely put her down.

We had so much fun during her maternity shoot and Scarlett’s session easily topped it. Andrea, thank you for simply being fabulous.

Sweet Baby Quinn | Oakland newborn photographer

January 30, 2011

In my opinion, Mike may be one of the most romantic husbands around. He contacted me at the end of last year. His wife was pregnant with their first child and he wanted to surprise her with something special for Christmas. I LOVE it. I’m a big fan of gifts in general, but I was tickled to be a part of one.

6 days after little Quinn made her debut I headed out to the Oakland Hills to capture her lovely images. Mike and Jenny were expecting some calm, sleepy baby shots, but Quinn absolutely had other ideas. She was awake and feisty for the entire 3 and half hours I spent with her. Watch out Mike, I’m pretty sure Quinn won’t ever have a problem speaking her mind.

I love how much of her big personality we were able to capture.
