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.
There is something about a photo of crying babies that just melts my heart. I promise we picked little Quinn up as soon as I snapped this capture.
And you look amazing Jenny, really and truly. I wish I looked that good 6 days after giving birth!

Nothing has made me happier over the last few days than reflecting on 2010 and all it’s wonderful moments. I feel so incredibly blessed to be where I am in life, to have the friends and clients that surrounded me this year, and to be able to do what I truly love. What better way to end the year than to recap my favorite images of 2010. And, it means I’ll be blogging every day this week. (I know, I’m as excited as you are.)
The first set was one of the first newborns of the year. (I really could not pick just one image, I’m sorry.)
It was an incredibly cold and gross day outside. Overcast, raining, just bland and awful. Something about the light inside though was magical. We had the heater cranked up to help Baby Dario sleep and we just ooed and awed every time he cracked a little newborn smile.
There is just something about newborn lips that melt my heart.

What is lifestyle photography? That’s a question I get every so often and I don’t really have the right words to explain. I can say that lifestyle photography is an anything goes kind of session. Or that it’s unposed and real. But those words don’t always makes sense. Lifestyle photography is about raw emotions. It’s about being true to yourself and honestly, just having fun.
You may remember Lindsy from one of my favorite maternity sessions. But her newborn session takes the cake. Lindsy’s newborn session was the epitome of lifestyle. We played guitars, we jumped on the bed, and we made wooden food taste good in a wooden kitchen. I felt so honored to be there, simply watching a family love each other. There was no pressure. It was a blast.
Thank you Lindsy for opening up your home to me. Your boys are as cute as can be.
Nothing like a little father/son jam session in the bedroom. It’s a rock band in the making!
We did have just a bit of down time. And I’m thankful for that as well.

There are some times that my job should come with hazard insurance. Like, when I get to go and cuddle cute, squishy newborns for hours at a time. I have been waiting for Stephanie and Brad to have baby Brody since the moment we finished their fabulous maternity session. These two are just so gorgeous, I knew their baby would be equally as cute. And he was, x 10.
Adorable little Wente getting her model on.
One of my favorite images from Brody session. The last of the day and on a chair belonging to Stephanie’s Great Aunt. I love everything about it.
Thank you Stephanie and Brad for letting me capture little Brody. I had a ball.

There must be something in the water in 2010. I’m getting a wave of newborns and LOVING it.
Baby E was one of the sweetest newborns I’ve ever seen. At just under 2 weeks old she was wide awake and taking in the world around her. Despite the white noise, rocking, feeding and cuddles this baby girls just wanted to soak in the day. She was so sweet and calm that it didn’t matter.
The day of her session was storming and wouldn’t you know that the clouds broke the moment she fell asleep. It’s was just spectacular.

The new year seems to have brought with it a flood of newborns…and I couldn’t be happier. What other subject would let me bend their sleepy bodies or wrap them in oversized knit hats? (Well, that’s probably for the best!) I just love being around babies.
Little Mia was 11 days of perfection. She tolerated costume changes, location changes, and even a few diaper changes all without making a peep.
We had a few seconds in between rain storms, but I could help but take a quick few outside.
And this is almost the same photo – but I just love it in black and white. So I’m sharing both!
Thank you S family for letting me capture sweet baby Mia.

One of my absolute favorite things about becoming a photographer is capturing newborns. Since having my son and really understanding how quickly those first few days/weeks/months truly go, I just cherish getting to spend time with brand new babies. I love seeing their flaking new skin, the tiny tiny hands and feet and just seeing how amazing these little humans are. When my good friend Jenni asked me to take pictures of her baby Blythe, I was not only flattered, I was excited!
Jenni and her husband have wanted a baby for a long time and little baby B is just perfect. It melts my heart to see them with her.
Here are just a few shots of little baby Blythe sleeping peacefully. She couldn’t have been a better baby!
This dress was special to Jenni, so we took a few shots of it. I thought Blythe looked so cute!
